In a joint video conference on May 18th, German Chancellor Angela
Merkel and French President Emmanuel Macron called for the creation
of a 500-billion-euro recovery fund. As nations around the world begin to
move past initial lockdowns and attempt to address the economic impacts
from COVID-19, political leaders like Merkel and Macron are grappling
with how to effectively move forward, both for their own countries and with
their regional partners. How is the German government working to safeguard
their citizens, as well as provide support to neighboring nations? What is
going on with the European Union, and what is Germany’s position
within this regional block? And what is the status of Germany’s
relationships globally?

On this livestream, the Los Angeles World Affairs Council &
Town Hall host German Ambassador to the United States Emily Haber
in conversation with John Emerson, former US Ambassador to
Germany. The discussion will start with Germany’s response to COVID-19,
but broaden to address what’s going on in Europe and beyond. As
European Union members are discussing the path forward, what is
Germany doing as one of the largest countries? Ambassador Haber
and Ambassador Emerson join The Council to address how Germany
is working to move forward domestically, regionally, and globally.
