Germany was already asleep when Annalena Baerbock entered a television studio in Washington DC. The fact that the German Foreign Minister gives an interview to domestic media in the USA while on a trip abroad is part of the deal. The fact that the Green politician is going to the right-wing channel Fox News has a dimension – with a tactical calculation. On the TV news channel, which has never tried to hide its closeness to former US President Donald Trump, she wants to reach an audience that – to put it cautiously – does not have the best image of Europe and especially of Germany. Trump once said that the Germans are in debt to American taxpayers, even though Germany continues to miss NATO’s two percent target.
