Munich Security Conference retweeted
Der 11. September 2001 war sein erster Arbeitstag als deutscher Botschafter in den USA. Wolfgang Ischinger erinnert sich im ZEITREISE-Podcast an den schlimmsten Terroranschlag der Geschichte, an Telefonate mit Gerhard Schröder und Joschka Fischer – und fällt ein sehr ungewöhnliches, persönliches Urteil über George W. Bush. Unbedingt anhören!
