About this episode

This week, we bring you highlights from Stephanie's conversation with French President Emmanuel Macron at the Berlin Global Dialogue.

He defends his decision to call for a snap election, and he issues a stark warning for the EU: a lack of investment and too much regulation will make the bloc unable to compete with the US and China. Berlin Global Dialogue Chair Lars-Hendrik Röller, chief economic advisor to former German Chancellor Angela Merkel, also appears on the panel.
