The results of Germany's snap election are in, and Friedrich Merz is set to be the country's next leader after his Christian Democratic Union took 28 percent of the vote.

But with the far-right AFD taking a strong second place, Europe's largest economy faltering and rows between the EU and the U.S. growing, how big a task is he facing?

Joining Juliet Mann on this episode of The Agenda are Heiner Flassbeck, honorary professor for economics and politics at Hamburg University and former state secretary in the German Federal Ministry of Finance: Eberhard Sandschneider, Partner of Berlin Global Advisors; and Ariadna Ripoll Servent, Professor of Politics at the University of Salzburg.
