BERLIN (Reuters) - German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble wants to keep his job after September's federal election, he said in a video interview with a German newspaper.

"I am neither striving to move upwards nor am I striving for anything else. I am just striving to be re-elected," the 70-year-old Schaeuble, a member of Chancellor Angela Merkel's Christian Democrats (CDU), told the Leipziger Volkszeitung.
