EU ‘reset’…
Kanzler Friedrich Merz ist auf diplomatischer Mission in Afrika, doch der G20-Gipfel wird von einem 28-Punkte-Friedensplan aus den USA für die Ukraine überschattet. Gordon Repinski berichtet aus Angola, wie Merz versucht, Europa im Spiel zu halten und einen „Diktatfrieden“ durch Donald Trump zu verhindern. Hans von der Burchard ordnet die hektische Diplomatie zwischen Genf, Berlin und Johannesburg ein. Im 200-Sekunden-Interview: Norbert Röttgen.

German Climate Minister Carsten Schneider on Saturday spoke of a “new world order” that the EU would need to get used to. “Something has changed, and that has become very apparent here.” Throughout the two weeks, European diplomats complained bitterly about the tactics employed by Saudi Arabia and other major oil producers, which fiercely opposed any call to tackle fossil fuels.
