The opportunity to work abroad strongly shapes career paths, with employees developing skills they may not have honed at home. Thanks to Europe’s status as a single market, the number of people who have worked abroad is relatively high — but where in Europe do workers have the most international experience? Hiring platform Indeed defines ‘internationally mobile workers’ as those who have at least one work experience in a country other than their current country of residence. As of late 2025, 16.7% of job seekers in the single market had international experience on their résumé, according to employment platform Indeed.…

“I also visited D.C. in early December, had meetings in the White House, but also with the different Cabinet secretaries, and now we are in a situation where Trump is coming, and we also have five key Cabinet secretaries,” he said. “There will be a broad footprint of the U.S. in Davos.” Brende, a former Norwegian foreign minister, has clearly made it his mission to secure star speakers for the Alpine summit of the world’s business and political elite. After limp Covid-era editions, a sharp jump in participation costs and leadership turmoil for the WEF, Trump’s star turn — flanked…

Public confidence has been eroding for years. But the mood has now intensified to a crisis point.Across all 27 countries polled, 76 percent say their country feels divided. Sixty-eight percent believe their political system is failing and needs fundamental reform. Sixty-two percent feel their national identity is disappearing. Pessimism on this scale, replicated across democracies, isn’t normal — and may not be sustainable. To be clear: pessimism on this scale, replicated across democracies, isn’t normal — and may not be sustainable. It is fueling political instability and populism. Systems and governments that appear analog in a digital world, and fail…

Trump’s compromise peace in Ukraine is a strategic opportunity for Europe – POLITICO Skip to main content

On Saturday, Trump threatened to impose tariffs on European countries that oppose his plans to take control of Greenland. EU ambassadors are convening an emergency meeting later Sunday to respond to the tariff threat. Macron responded later Saturday by saying: “Tariff threats are unacceptable.” “No intimidation or threat will influence us,” Macron said in a post on X. “Europeans will respond in a united and coordinated manner … We will ensure that European sovereignty is upheld,” he added. According to a person close to Macron, the U.S. approach “raises the question” of how valid the trade deal Brussels reached with Washington last summer is.…

A high-speed train derailed in southern Spain on Sunday, jumping onto the track in the opposite direction and hitting an oncoming train in an accident that authorities estimate left more than 20 people dead and injured around 100. The evening train between Malaga and Madrid went off the rails and slammed into a train coming from Madrid to Huelva, another southern Spanish city, according to the Spanish rail operator Adif. Rescue operations are ongoing, he said, adding that at least 73 injured passengers have been taken to six different hospitals. The regional Civil Protection chief, María Belén Moya Rojas, told…

“It’s clear that a line has been drawn and enough is enough,” said one diplomat with knowledge of Sunday’s talks. “But at the moment we are discussing options — if Trump’s tariffs are imposed, then then we will be discussing not what options there are but which options to use.” The €93 billion in retaliatory tariffs would be a reactivation of measures that the EU put on hold after the signing of a trade deal with the U.S. in July. Such a move could be taken “very quickly,” compared to some of the other options being discussed, according to a…

Regardless of whether he makes it to next month’s runoff, Ventura’s ability to secure nearly a quarter of the ballots Sunday emphasizes how remarkable his Chega party’s growth has been in Portugal. In six years the ultranationalist grouping has gone from having just one lawmaker in parliament to becoming the country’s leading opposition party, controlling more than a quarter of seats in the country’s legislature. Cotrim de Figueiredo’s performance is also notable. Earlier this week the politician, who leads the Liberal Initiative, a liberal economic party, and is vice-president of the Renew Group in the European Parliament, called an emergency press conference…

BRUSSELS ―The leaders of the European Union’s 27 governments will meet “in the coming days” to discuss a response to U.S. President Donald Trump’s threats to seize Greenland, European Council President António Costa announced late Sunday. Costa called the extraordinary meeting of the European Council after EU ambassadors huddled in Brussels on Sunday to discuss Trump’s statement on Saturday that he would buy Greenland and punish with tariffs EU countries that stand in his way. According to an EU official and a diplomat familiar with the planning, the summit is being scheduled for Thursday, Jan. 22 . The meeting of leaders,…

Pressure is growing on European leaders to deploy its trade bazooka against the United States after President Donald Trump threatened fresh tariffs if Denmark does not agree to sell the territory of Greenland. In a scenario of coercion, the EU counts with a powerful tool in the anti-coertion instrument, and calls are intensifying for Brussels to trigger it. But how does it work? Euronews explains: What is the anti-coercion tool? Adopted in 2023, the tool was designed with the US and China in mind as the world’s two biggest economies become more assertive in pushing their national interests through tariffs…
