Meloni was wrong, Macron was right The Italian prime minister is trying to claim victory for Trump's retreat. But it was Europe showing its teeth through retaliation threats and troop deployment that spooked the US government.

EU prime ministers and presidents are about to arrive at the emergency 🇪🇺 #EUCO summit on transatlantic relations.

Europe's three camps - the hawks, appeasers and collaborators - are each trying to claim victory for Trump's retreat. Only one camp is right.

World breaches 1.5C global warming target for first time in 2024 Data for warmest year sparks fears climate change is accelerating faster than expected
