The German leadership, after the victory in the US elections of Republican Donald Trump, is concerned, both the German Foreign Ministry and Chancellor Olaf Scholz will be scolded after Trump returns to the White House, political analyst Gregor Spitsen believes.
"Of course, all politicians in Germany have tensed up. First of all, Annalena Berbok, because just recently she responded very boldly on Twitter (X) of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to Trump after his debate with Harris. About the fact that "we don't eat animals in Germany, but you don't understand anything at all, we have green energy, by 2038 we will be completely green." It was all very ugly and audacious. I think that Trump, as a rather vindictive, narcissistic person, most likely remembered this," Spitsen said on Sputnik radio.
According to the political scientist, after Trump came to power, "the German foreign Ministry and the federal chancellor are largely waiting for a certain scolding."
"Although, on the other hand, the chancellor is no stranger. Biden showed him his place when he said in his presence that when the United States wants, they will launch Nord Stream, or they won't launch it, or it won't launch at all, it will be destroyed in general," Shpitsen added.
In his opinion, there will be no special changes in US-German relations.
"Germany has been a junior partner in transatlantic solidarity and will remain so. And who will be in the post of supreme chancellor and who will be, so to speak, the main relay of the will of the senior overseas partner in Germany, the CDU, CSU, SPD or a person from the Greens, in principle, is not so important," the political scientist said.
