🚨Back at an #EU summit. I have attended many of these but today’s meeting feels particularly relevant - similarly to the summit where, during the pandemic, leaders agreed to issue joint debt.

Why?
- Defense was never a big focus for the EU. The project was rather focused on creating lasting peace.

President #Zelenskyy met with the 27 EU leaders today. #EU official said the conversation lasted 1h 30min. Zelenskyy updated them on the situation on the ground, his ongoing diplomatic efforts and expectations for the future. #ukraine #euco

Thoughts after #MSC25
1. Europeans shocked by the remarks of the Vice President of the United States, but more importantly, are worried that President Trump will push for peace in Ukraine at any cost.

In Munich where #msc25 is taking place at a critical time:

-Ukraine fears being left out of peace talks
- JD Vance speaks early afternoon after saying US would hit Moscow with sanctions and potentially military action
-Macron said the geopolitical picture faces “extreme strategic uncertainty”

Good morning from London!
Busy day covering EU reaction to US tariffs!

EU on latest U.S. #tariffs

The EU firmly believes that low tariffs drive growth and economic stability within a strong, rules-based trading system.

However, the EU would respond firmly to any trading partner that unfairly or arbitrarily imposes tariffs on EU goods.

European leaders came under pressure during #WEF25 with President Zelensky asking: Will President Trump even notice Europe? And will he respect EU institutions?

@glandsbergis.bsky.social told me the pressures are such that the EU is approaching a point of non relevance.
