By Euronews with AP Published on 23/07/2025 – 5:34 GMT+2 US President Donald Trump announced a new trade framework with Japan on Tuesday that will impose a 15% tariff on Japanese imports, easing back from a previously threatened 25% levy. Under the new agreement, Trump said Japan would invest $550 billion in the US “at my direction” and “open” its economy to US rice and cars. “This Deal will create Hundreds of Thousands of Jobs – There has never been anything like it,” Trump posted on Truth Social, adding that the United States “will continue to always have a great relationship with the…
“The summit is likely to underscore that both as far as the economic relationship goes and as far as China’s support for Russia goes, there has been very little progress between Brussels and Beijing.” As she tries to smooth ties with Washington, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen’s tone toward Beijing has turned increasingly hawkish. In reply, China has warned against sealing any transatlantic trade deal that would harm its interests. The elephant in the room, in addition to the long-running trade disputes: Russia’s war on Ukraine. And, right on cue before the summit, the EU listed two Chinese…
Paris thinks the same. “The Franco-German reflex has been rediscovered,” an Elysée official said. But despite the good vibes and increased cooperation on policy areas involving deregulation and migration, the leaders are finding it increasingly difficult to conceal an uncomfortable reality: The promised restart of the Franco-German engine that long powered the European Union is already sputtering, as Merz and Macron confront a series of intractable divisions on everything from defense to trade. One of the key differences between the current German chancellor and his predecessor is that Scholz recognized how difficult it would be to resolve the key Franco-German…

The European Commission said Tuesday that it was “seriously concerned” by the vote in the Ukrainian parliament, illustrating the depth of unease in Brussels where criticism of Kyiv is vanishingly rare. Meaghan Mobbs, the daughter of U.S. Special Envoy for Ukraine Keith Kellogg, called the lawmakers’ decision “mind-bogglingly stupid” and a gift to critics advocating against further military aid to Ukraine as it resists Russia’s aggression. Oleksandr Teren, a 29-year-old former Ukrainian serviceman who lost both legs fighting the Russian army, also came to the protest in Kyiv. “This is a malicious law that should not be adopted during wartime.…
“Perhaps he [Trump] should reach out to some of his musician friends. Maybe Kanye West, Kid Rock or Ted Nugent will allow use of their music,” the statement added, mocking artists who had shown vocal support for the president. Ozzy on the political response to Covid… Osbourne was critical of Trump’s response to Covid-19, telling Rolling Stone that the president was “acting like a fool” and saying on his Sirius XM radio show: “Whether you like the government or whether you don’t, whatever, Dr [Anthony] Fauci, all these virologist people, they [tell] us what we should do: wear a mask,…
Published on 22/07/2025 – 20:37 GMT+2 •Updated 20:40 Ozzy Osbourne, the gloomy, demon-invoking lead singer of the pioneering band Black Sabbath who became the throaty, growling voice of heavy metal, died on Tuesday at the age of 76 just weeks after his farewell show. “It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time,” a family statement said. In 2020, he revealed he had Parkinson’s disease…
Asked how such radical solutions could be aligned with EU legislation, Plevris called it “a challenge.” “For our own society, the flows of illegal immigrants are very large. I cannot say that we can manage it,” he said, adding that on the island of Crete “we have every day 1,000 illegal immigrants who want to reach Greece, and in Libya we have 3 million. This means that we have to find solutions within a European framework, but also within our societies.” Some 9,000 people from Libya have arrived on Crete since the beginning of the year, almost double the number…
