Meet the women tapped for 2 of Europe's most powerful jobs.
LONDON — A German defense minister who once said President Donald Trump had an outdated view of women is in line to become the first female president of the European Union's executive body.
Von der Leyen, 60, is a close friend of Angela Merkel, speaks multiple languages and was a doctor before she entered politics. However, the Brussels-born mother-of-seven's nomination was a surprise after E.U. leaders failed during long and fraught negotiations to agree on any of the front-runners. "Donald Trump has to say clearly on which side he is: whether he's on the side of the law, peace and democracy or whether he doesn’t care about all that and instead he's looking for a best buddy," she said. The"best buddy" to whom she referred was Russian President Vladimir Putin.
