Interview: "Things could get worse than with Trump": Robert Habeck's strategy against the USA, Russia and China
The former Vice Chancellor speaks in an interview with Handelsblatt about Europe's struggle against the superpowers, the upcoming US elections - and reveals who he currently considers to be the greatest European.
Robert Habeck, Germany's former Minister, is currently promoting his book "Artic Meltdown" and discussing Europe's role in a increasingly threatening world. He believes that Europe, which was once a colonial power, is now being squeezed by imperial powers such as Russia, China, and the US. Habeck thinks that Europe must take a proactive approach to address these challenges, rather than waiting for the old world order to reestablish itself.
He praises Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney as a symbol of democratic resilience and suggests that Europe could learn from his approach, including potentially forming an alliance with Canada. Habeck also discusses Europe's relationship with China, arguing that the EU must balance its values-based foreign policy with interest-based politics to protect its industry while avoiding pushing China into the arms of Russia.
