In der EU geht es um Aufträge, die einen erheblichen Teil der Wirtschaftsleistung ausmachen. Von Windparks bis hin zu Stahl und Zement für den Bau von Autobahnen und U-Bahnen. Deutschland, das Exportkraftzentrum der Union, dringt auf eine breiter angelegte „Made with Europe“-Definition. Dies entspricht auch weitgehend dem ursprünglichen Vorschlag der Kommission. Er sieht die Aufnahme von Partnern vor, die Freihandels- oder Beschaffungsabkommen mit der EU geschlossen haben oder einer Zollunion mit der Union angehören. Der Kreis könnte bis zu 80 Länder umfassen. „Deutschland lehnt Protektionismus und Diskriminierung ab“, heißt es in dem deutschen Papier. „Die EU muss ein verlässlicher Partner…
Brussels is dialling up the pressure on Kyiv to speed up the reforms indispensable for unlocking roughly €20 billion in financial assistance, which the country badly needs as the budget deficit swells and Russia escalates the war. “It is essential that Ukraine continues to deliver on the reforms and policy conditions jointly agreed with the European Union,” a European Commission spokesperson said. “Their timely implementation is key to enabling the Commission to proceed with the corresponding disbursements as planned.” It comes as the Commission is engaged in intense talks with the Ukrainian authorities to pin down the precise extent of…
US President Donald Trump hosted Chinese President Xi Jinping for a state dinner at the White House on Thursday. Trump and Xi arrived at the East Room, where both leaders delivered remarks and proposed toasts during the formal dinner. The two presidents also shook hands and spoke through interpreters, while First Lady Melania Trump and Tesla CEO Elon Musk were among those attending. The dinner capped a day of pomp and ceremony during Xi’s US state visit.
Pressed on whether he had any principled objection to the technology, he declared, “I’m quite willing and happy to learn,” he added. “I feel it’s my moral duty also to use it so that I have personal experience, and I hope it helps me with my work.” Speaking on the fringes of Axel Springer’s WELT AI Summit in Berlin, Czerny called on European politicians and bishops to respond more clearly to warnings about the risks of frontier AI models forfeiting human control and oversight. “There should be a dialogue between the bishops and the European governments to express the concern of the population to handle…
France’s Foreign Ministry said that Azerbaijan’s decision to release French national Martin Ryan “marks a step towards the normalisation of relations” between Azerbaijan and France, following decades of deep tensions between the two countries. In a short statement released on Thursday through the French embassy in Baku, the day after pardoned Ryan left for Paris, as part of a wider deal to remove Uzbek-Russian oligarch Alisher Usmanov from the EU’s Russia sanctions list, the French foreign ministry said that “the decision (to pardon Ryan) is the result of a patient and demanding dialogue with Azerbaijan’s authorities which we intend to…
Published on 25/09/2026 – 5:43 GMT+2 CNN, MS NOW and Politico were allowed back into the White House on Thursday following a federal judge’s order that the journalists have their access restored. District Judge Timothy Kelly ruled that revoking the White House press credentials of the three media outlets “likely violated their constitutional due process rights.” “The ‘general rule’ is that ‘individuals must receive notice and an opportunity to be heard before the Government deprives them’ of a constitutionally protected interest,” the judge said. The three US outlets had been banned by US President Donald Trump from reporting from the…
Tondelier et Mélenchon en tête A ce stade de la campagne, c’est… Marine Tondelier qui remporte la palme du rejet, talonnée par Jean-Luc Mélenchon. Pas moins de 81% des sondés situent en effet entre 0 et 3 les chances qu’ils votent un jour pour la candidate Ecologiste. Ils sont 73% à en dire de même pour l’Insoumis, et même 98% à 100% chez les catégories de la population se reconnaissant dans les termes “réfractaires”, “autoritaires”, “anti-assistanat”, “traditionnalistes”, ou encore “libéraux”. Une différence majeure, toutefois, entre les deux principaux épouvantails de notre classement : là où seuls 9% de personnes interrogées…

Published on 24/09/2026 – 14:23 GMT+2•Updated 19:57 The European Union has hit out at a possible US diesel export ban being considered by President Donald Trump, calling it a “bad idea” that could damage both economies. Trump signalled support for a ban this week as surging fuel prices — driven by the war in the Middle East — threaten to cost his Republican party control of Congress in November’s midterm elections. But European Commission spokesman Olof Gill said Brussels viewed the plans “with concern”. “We believe this is a bad idea,” Gill told a press conference. “We believe it potentially…
