Cecilia Malmström: Varför är tanken på en blocköverskridande regering så omöjlig i Sverige? Nya tider kräver nya beslut – och nya vänner. EU tar nu flera steg i den riktningen. Men klarar Sveriges partier att bryta ny mark?

Trump's very bad trade deal with Europe President Donald Trump hailed the trade deal with the European Union announced in Scotland last Sunday as "the biggest deal of them all." But a closer look shows that it is actually not really a deal....

NEW: Even though the immediate threat of an escalating trade war has been avoided, the US-EU "deal" cannot be labeled as a good agreement for Europe, @ceciliamalmstrom.bsky.social writes.

Analyst: EU-US trade deal 'replaces' EU autonomy with 'vulnerability and an over-reliance on the US’

“I don’t think anybody can call it a good deal” – former European Commissioner for Trade @ceciliamalmstrom.bsky.social tells me the EU-US agreement is a bunch of concessions from the European Union: youtu.be/ayKCG8SD9pw?...

This so called deal between the EU and the US is more a sort of terms of reference. 15% is lower than 30% but the EU is worse off than four months ago. And how stable is it? Lots of unclarities still. President Trump’s narrative in balanced trade is confirmed. Sad

Vi tar vid där du slutade, Ulrica - Liberal Debatt Till minne av Ulrica Schenström skriver Tove Hovemyr personligt om hennes gärning som vd för tankesmedjan.

”Du är inte ensam. Jag känner precis likadant. Och det är många fler än oss som också känner sig vilsna och ensamma nu. Jag vill att FORES ska bli ett hem för dem.”

Och så blev det, Ulrica.
