Trent, Germany is Europe's biggest economy.
00:03
Now, Europe appears to be in this really sticky spot
00:06
at the moment when it comes to America's comments on Ukraine
00:10
and also defence spending.
00:12
How important is this election result
00:15
for stability across Europe as a whole?
00:19
Well, look, I think you can get a sense from it
00:21
just based on how other European countries
00:24
are looking at this election.
00:25
There's a lot of media coverage of it
00:27
in places like France and Belgium and Italy,
00:30
because what happens in Germany
00:32
really has a huge impact on the rest of the EU.
00:34
As you said, it's the EU's biggest economy.
00:37
It's the world's third largest economy
00:39
after China and the United States.
00:40
And so what happens on Sunday will have a ripple on effect,
00:44
not just across Europe and around the world.
00:45
And you are right.
00:46
I mean, Europe right now is having some very deep
00:49
conversations around its sort of role in the world.
00:52
We've seen President Trump sort of roll back
00:54
onto the world stage full of criticism of the EU
00:57
over issues like trade imbalances
01:00
and their support for Ukraine.
01:01
And so right now, in many ways,
01:03
I think the EU is looking for leadership
01:05
to try and navigate these sort of turbulent,
01:08
uncertain waters ahead that are here.
01:11
And Germany really has to play a crucial role in that,
01:14
which is why after this election takes place on Sunday,
01:17
the Chancellor will have a lot of work to do.
