Now with the German election in the books, the Greens will work toward strengthening Europe and reviving the transatlantic relationship. But the Greens are more likely to take a critical approach toward Russia and China. On October 1, the ACG hosted a discussion with foreign policy expert Reinhard Bütikofer, Member of the European Parliament for the German Green party Bündnis 90 / Die Grünen, about German foreign policy after Merkel, the future of Europe, and relations with China. This event was supported by the Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung.
