Stephanie Flanders is in Germany at the Berlin Global Dialogue, where she speaks with Chancellor Friedrich Merz about the pressures reshaping Europe’s largest economy, why he supports a tougher response to Chinese imports and how he intends to handle the Trump administration’s harsher line toward Ukraine at the upcoming G20 Summit in Miami. 

Setting the scene for the Chancellor’s comments is Bloomberg Senior Geoeconomics Analyst for Europe, Antonio Barroso. Flanders and Barroso unpack what Merz’s comments reveal about Germany’s changing approach to trade — and what that shift could mean for Europe and the wider global economy.

Then, in a session hosted by Bloomberg New Economy Editorial Director Erik Schatzker, former UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, Blackstone President Jon Gray and Tata Sons Chairman N. Chandrasekaran debate what really matters in this new era of uncertainty — and which trends they believe are powerful enough to bet on anyway.
