There’s a unique chance for Europe to fill the vacuum left by the retreating US, says Brussels-based commentator Shada Islam

With Trump’s US missing in action from the global stage, the European Union should be stepping into the vacuum. Germany, which has just taken over the bloc’s rotating presidency, could use the next six months to provide the leadership to boost Europe’s global impact. But is it ready to shake off its traditional reticence?

Not Boris?

Cometh the hour, cometh the woman. Bravo Frau Merkel.

Idontmind64 I woke up again stunned that this man is somehow still the president, given his obvious betrayals, corruption, & incompetence. Equally amazing is that there are any Americans, let alone almost all of the GOP, who still support his reelection.

Pathétique vision de chose que de dire de ce qui est qui n'est pas , jouer les babylonien encore un temps et la nature reprendra ses droits , c'est tout ce dont cette situation me procure , je n'ai ressent aucun amour cela me fait peur , quoiqu'il en la célébrité toujours en apel

And in the same time buddy up to China's regime!!!! utopia

The US should, and will, go back to being a proud, nationalist and racist State that should remain within her borders. The ROW does not need her brand in 2020

Europe Germany France Italy Netherlands Slovakia AustriaGP Belgium Finland portuguese Spain krg HungarianGP Greece EU Nations, you can do this! US current leadership WILL leave you to die just like Kurds ! AngelaMerkeICDU MUST STOP US power within Germany!

definitely the world needs grown up leadership but does Germany have what it takes?

The US and the UK have abdicated. Even if they hadn't it is beyond time that someone else had a go.

Merkel betrayed us

Shada Islam for more Islamic migration, what a surprise.

Sure, you indirectly meam China comunismo Is the best choice To collaborate. You killers ! CCPVirus CCP_is_terrorist CCPLiedPeopleDied merkelchina merkelchinese

ciabaudo Germany is a supine US/Israeli puppet.

We've been waiting for years for that. Don't hold your breath.

Angela Merkel reminding the rest of Europe what German did the last time they tried to take control.......

Worked well in the past.

last time they did it it didn’t end up that well ...

We agree: Germany should use its position on the international stage to promote important changes in the global community. That's why we're asking the chancellor to push the UnitedNations Security Council to declare a Global ClimateEmergency. Join us:

For all you hold dear... YES, YES, YES.

Two issues with this article that are not addressed. Firstly, without the US, there is no global consensus. Secondly, Shada seems to forget about European electorates, when she pushes for a fight against populism and large increases in non-EU migration.

Step up to do what, the last time they stepped up illegal Immigration ran amock

I cannot believe this woman ever became a leader!

Thank you, 🇪🇺 but who would have thought a few years ago that other countries would entrust Germany with a european leadership. I hope that we can meet expectations in the European sense.🇪🇺

The world when Germany actually steps up:

Germany committed an act of such spectacular and egregious demographic self harm that it's hard to take them seriously.

After all Merkel’s leadership has been so good for the EU 🙄

they would go broke in 2 years of they try such stunts. That is why they can't stop being parasites to us. Time for the US to stop trying to save them all, time to focus here at home.

i am from germany and i dislike the idea. Dont want the be the aim for retards, we re hearing the nazi card way to often (unrelated ofc) even now for not interferring. Just suffer, this is how you learn (also a german lesson)

Germany couldn't lead a conga line

Merkel is about to retire.

🤔😂😂😂

Thanks, but we already have Nicola Sturgeon.
