Announcement

More Ambition, please! is a recommendation for action to the Federal Government and the Bundestag, drawn up by a group of experts on American policy. The paper calls for the great opportunity to repair and realign the eroded transatlantic relationship to be used and a new agreement to be reached with the American government. With the inauguration of Joe Biden, the time has come to act. The Federal Republic of Germany needs leadership, political will, ideas and a plan – based on Germany’s vital interest in America remaining a European power.
