Many German politicians still remember him well – and may soon have to deal with him again: Richard Grenell was the U.S. Ambassador to Berlin under Donald Trump, is considered a close confidant of Trump, and could become Secretary of State if Trump wins the election.
What makes this man, who could soon be one of the most powerful politicians in the world, tick?
Paul Ronzheimer meets Grenell at the Republican convention for an interview – and talks to him about Germany, the Ukraine war, and Donald Trump. The potential next U.S. Secretary of State sharply criticizes the German government and even has strong words for Chancellor Scholz.
It's clear: If Trump wins, a diplomatic upheaval threatens Germany.
