Trump Threats Risk Stretching Europe’s Fragile Unity to Breaking Point
The EU sees a trade clash as inevitable and has prepared a list of US goods to hit with duties in retaliation.
One thing is sure for Europe: Trump’s tariffs are coming.
The EU has prepared long retaliation lists but is still deciding how to respond to an attack likely to embroil everything from steel & cars to European tech & tax policy.

Wow! "This will never happen"... I was told 25 years ago by many insiders (me writing a master thesis on ESDP parliamentary oversight). The compromise was to have "human rights" subcommittee hand in hand with "sec-def" subcommittee #endofpeacedividend

Frohen Deutsch-Französischen Tag ! On ne le dira pas assez, le tant attendu sursaut européen ne se fera que si (mais pas seulement) s'opère un renforcement du lien franco-allemand à tous niveaux (école, industriel, associatif, politique, média). Il est grand temps d'y consacrer plus d'énergie!

Biggest challenge to #Airbus (and opportunity?) "Decarbonisation" says CEO Faury. "If we decarbonise, this industry is at the beginning of its life. ...We are serving just a fraction of what can be served by aviation" #avgeek

A graphic illustration related to the aviation sector, highlighting various components and focus areas. An aeroplane is shown in flight to represent "Environmental Impact" and "Air Traffic Management and Operations." Another aeroplane on the ground represents "Technology & Design." A nearby control tower signifies "Airports" and "Sector Overview." A fuel truck labelled "Sustainable Aviation Fuels" and a boarding stair vehicle emphasise innovations in fuel use. "Market-based Measures" and "International Cooperation" are indicated, suggesting strategies for sustainable aviation practices. The European Commission logo appears in the bottom right corner.
With air traffic expected to grow, aviation, like all other transport modes, needs to play its part in delivering climate neutrality in the EU by 2050. 🌍
Decoupling air traffic from environmental impact is not only crucial but also achievable. The EU will keep acting to make it happen. ↓

Greenland. Article 42.7. Not so simple with grey areas...
Greenland is not considered EU territory BUT the specific article states “If a Member State is the victim of armed aggression on its territory”. Greenland is the territory of the Kingdom of Denmark. 1/3

What is driving D. Trump wrt Groenland? Heard this morning the excellent @pierrehaski.bsky.social explaining the potential motives but still I am wondering if the primary goal is not to warn Russia that things will end up "very badly" if the logics of "pré carré" prevails on both sides. Any views?

A large rocket launches from a launchpad at night. The rocket is white with a white payload on top. It is surrounded by bright flames and smoke as it ascends into the dark sky.

I wonder why the debates around "We are all in the same boat"... and all congrats messages from Commission's DGs to their Commissioners are all on X... Am I missing sth here? or too impatient, perhaps?
