35:29Now PlayingSo, Donald Trump let Friedrich Merz’s diplomatic debut over Ukraine fall flat. Instead of the unconditional 30-day ceasefire EU leaders had agreed on with the US President, Trump came out of his call with Putin having merely agreed talks towards a ceasefire.
Merz went straight for taking political risks with Trump – and lost his gamble. Can he recover and still unite Europe behind a route towards ending the Ukraine War? DW’s Chief Political Editor gets the analysis from Reuters Chief Reporter Andreas Rinke and DGAP think tanker Aylin Matlé. There is path that involves more sanctions – but there are no easy options.
