Merkel aide seeks more EU integration
The man expected to play a major role in shaping foreign policy if Angela Merkel is elected chancellor of Germany on Sept. 18 says he wants a stronger and more-integrated Europe that will not compete with the United States but work with it. Such an ambitious agenda will not be easy to achieve for Wolfgang Schäuble, the veteran Christian Democratic foreign policy expert whom Merkel brought into her mini-cabinet. There are still big misgivings among some European leaders over the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq. And many have yet to be convinced that the administration of President George W. Bush will find its way back to supporting a multilateralist agenda.
