SUMMARY:Hertie School Berlin: Germany. America. France.
DESCRIPTION:Germany. America. France. \nWhat is the state of relations amon
 g Germany’s most important partners\, a year after the inauguration of P
 resident Donald Trump and President Emmanuel Macron?\n\nTuesday\, April 17
 \, 7:00 pm\nLocation: Institut français Berlin\, (Kurfürstendamm 211\, 1
 0719 Berlin – Salle ‘Boris Vian’)\n\n\n\nOne year ago\, the alumni a
 ssociations of Columbia University\, the Hertie School of Governance and S
 ciences Po Paris organized the event for the first time. Back then\, it wa
 s two months after the inauguration of US President Donald Trump and two m
 onths before the first round of the presidential elections in France. Many
  things have happened in the meantime on the German\, European and global 
 level. It is time to evaluate and raise the same question: How good are Ge
 rmany’s relations with its most important partners today?\nIn terms of A
 merica\, a key question last year was Germany’s diplomatic ‘access’ 
 to the new administration and President Trump’s remarks on NATO. Whereas
  security remains a field of cooperation\, the Trump administration fundam
 entally changed its foreign policy in the Middle East by recognizing Jerus
 alem as the capital of Israel. The US also withdrew from the Paris climate
  agreement and the President announced steep corporate tax cuts with tangi
 ble results. All this led the German government to start looking for addit
 ional partners outside the administration.\nLooking at France\, it was the
  right-wing Front National party that hung over last year’s elections li
 ke a sword of Damocles. Emmanuel Macron has become the new President. Fren
 ch-German relations have had a long-awaited revival. Together\, President 
 Macron wants to push forward the European integration. Both partners also 
 increased their common steps in another part of the world\, Africa\, by su
 pporting a new anti-terrorism mission of five Sahel countries. At home\, 
 the President tries to realize the economic reforms he announced. Can he l
 ive up to his promises? Are the renewed French-German relations more than 
 a honeymoon?\n\nAnd Germany? Unexpectedly\, the stronghold of stability ha
 s become the point of attention in Europe. The discussion on April 17 coul
 d not be timelier.\n\nAs last year\, our guests will be:\n\n 	Jürgen Hard
 t (Transatlantic Coordinator of the German government) \n 	 Dr. Ronja Kem
 pin (Senior Fellow\, SWP – German Institute for International and Securi
 ty Affairs)\n\n 	 Melissa Eddy\, Berlin Correspondent\, The New York Time
 s will host the talk\n\n This event is free of charge. To register\, plea
