Germany’s recent election results are signaling a shift in political climate for the European country. Friedrich Merz, head of the center-right opposition party, won the election over the weekend, defeating outgoing Chancellor Olaf Scholz.

Joshua Shifrinson, a non-resident senior fellow at the Cato Institute, is available to discuss how this shift could impact U.S.-German relations moving forward.

Shifrinson also talked about the future of NATO during a discussion with Justin Logan, Cato’s director of defense and foreign policy studies, and Marc Trachtenberg, professor emeritus at UCLA.
