A Peek into the ZDF Talk Show: The June 5th Scoop

Get ready for some heated debate! The upcoming episode of the popular ZDF talk show, "Maybrit Illner," airing on June 5th at 10:15 PM, is shaping up to be a must-watch. Here's what you can expect.

The Big Topic: Merz vs. Trump - Can They Harmonize?

The main discussion will focus on Germany's new Chancellor, Friedrich Merz, and his first face-off with US President Donald Trump. The stakes are high, with tensions brewing over the trade conflict between America and Europe, the deadlock in attempts to achieve peace between Russia and Ukraine, and the impending NATO summit in The Hague, all of which could significantly impact Europe-US relations.

The question on everyone's mind: will Merz charm Trump, or will they clash disastrously? As Germany navigates a tricky tightrope, it needs the US, but can't afford to buy into their controversial policies[1]. The new administration under Merz will have to tread carefully to manage these delicate diplomatic negotiations.

The Players on the Field

Putting their heads together for an insightful dialogue will be:

  1. Johann Wadephul (CDU, Federal Foreign Minister)
  2. Wolfgang Ischinger (seasoned diplomat)
  3. Adam Tooze (renowned US economic historian)
  4. Mariam Lau ("Die Zeit" journalist)
  5. Elmar Theveßen (ZDF Washington bureau chief)
