Aspen Germany in the Media
Surrounding the event of the U.S. Election on November 5, 2024, our director Dr. Stormy-Annika Mildner participated in several interviews and articles in the media, allowing her to share her expertise and opinions on U.S. politics and economics.
For example, in Deutsche Welle, she said that the big difference to Trump’s election victory in 2016 is that he is much better prepared this time: “Trump has learned that it can be problematic for him if he has non-loyalists on his team. And the extensive replacement of people in ministries and downstream authorities will mean that there will no longer be an important factor that existed from 2016 to 2020: the many people who prevented worse things from happening at one point or another.”
In Norddeutscher Rundfunk, she talked about the extent to which the economic challenges in the United States, such as high prices and inflation, played a critical role in the election results. In rbb Inforadio, Stromy-Annika Mildner explained that the new U.S. President can use decrees to bypass Congress and make important decisions. Donald Trump made particularly strong use of this during his first term in office. We can also expect him to reverse certain measures of the Biden administration relatively quickly this time by executive order. She expects this to happen particularly in the areas of climate protection and migration policy
