WHAT’S AT STAKE IN THE US-GERMANY RELATIONSHIP IN 2025 - Germans head to the polls on February 23 to vote for new leadership in the Bundestag, just as the President Donald Trump re-enters office in the United States. The next German government will have to contend with several crises and challenges immediately and simultaneously, including the evolving landscape in Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, a lackluster economy at home in Germany, changing relations with China, and a potentially challenging bilateral relationship with the United States under the Trump administration.

The Europe Center will convene an expert discussion to look at the most pressing issues which the next German government must confront and the role of the US-Germany relationship in addressing them.
