21/04/2011 (Agence Europe) - Arnold Schwarzenegger: future president of EU? According to the American magazine Newsweek, the former actor Arnold Schwarzenegger, who has kept his Austrian nationality, may have his eye on the presidency of the European Union. Three and a half months after leaving his position as Governor of California, he is thinking about his next step. Terry Tamminen, who was the head of private office, told the magazine: “In the next few years, the EU will be looking for a much more high-profile president - somebody who can unify Europe. The French won't want a German, and the Germans won't want an Italian. How about a European-born person who went off to America and could return to be the Washington or Jefferson of a new unified Europe?” However, Arnold Schwarzenegger states that he does not yet have any definite plan for his next step.
