French Political Turmoil, Europe First & Coalitions of the Past

This week on Taking Stock: Just how should the EU deal with a possible round of trade wars and tariffs? With the return of President Trump just weeks away, it is a topic exercising the minds of the new EU Commission, particularly its vice-president, Stéphane Séjourné. Alice Hancock, EU Correspondent with Financial Times joins Mandy to discuss. French politicians have ousted their government with a no-confidence motion, plunging the eurozone's second-largest economy into political turmoil. Mandy explores the potential consequences with Sarah Collins, Brussels Correspondent with the Business Post. Mick Clifford, Special Correspondent with the Irish Examiner, chats to Mandy about some of the most memorable coalitions of years gone by.
