The EU is increasingly reliant on the US export market, making it vulnerable to the potential shocks of Trump’s trade policy. Donald Trump has a trade trick up his sleeve that he insists he’s not afraid to use if re-elected in November: a universal tariff of up to 20% on all foreign-imported products.“Outside of love and religion, it’s the most beautiful word there is: tariff,” Trump told a North Carolina rally on Monday.A tariff is a tax levied on foreign goods as they enter a country, with the domestic importer expected to foot the bill, at least on paper. Trump…

The Belarusian dictator, a key backer of Vladimir Putin and his war in Ukraine, said the Russian president has not asked for Belarusian troops to join the invasion. But Belarus has been far from detached from Russia’s war — and Russia moved a batch of tactical nuclear weapons to its neighbor in June 2023.  Asked if Putin is ready to use the nukes stationed in Belarus, Lukashenko insisted his ally would “never” use the weapons without the Belarusian leader’s consent.  Lukashenko said his country is “completely ready” to use the weapons if necessary, but “only if the boot of one…

Der öffentlich-rechtliche Rundfunk soll weniger kosten, die Gebühren dürfen nicht weiter steigen. Darin sind sich die meisten Länderchefs einig, die sich ab heute zur Ministerpräsidentenkonferenz in Leipzig treffen. Über den Weg zu den Einsparungen dagegen herrscht noch keine endgültige Einigkeit. Wie die Anstalten geschrumpft werden könnten – organisatorisch, aber auch inhaltlich – analysiert Gordon Repinski. Im 200-Sekunden-Interview ist Michael Kretschmer zu Gast. Mit der Übernahme des Vorsitzes der Ministerpräsidentenkonferenz durch Sachsen ist er nun in der Vermittlerrolle. Im Interview erklärt er seine Position zur Rundfunkreform und spricht auch über die Energiepolitik nach dem Ende des Ukraine-Kriegs. Jonathan Martin, Senior Politics…

In February, former Prime Minister Liz Truss appeared at the right-wing CPAC conference, while Reform UK leader Nigel Farage joined Trump at his campaign rallies in 2016 and 2020. Both Farage and former Tory PM Boris Johnson attended the most recent Republican National Convention. Conservatives argued it was different for Labour now it’s in government.  Never relax Freed admitted, however, that Labour had been clumsy in how its scheme became publicized  — allowing Trump and his supporters to make hay. The free hit put a downer on long-standing work between Labour and the Democrats to coordinate and bolster the center…

With parliamentary elections set for late October, and EU membership negotiations due to start shortly thereafter, the timing of this behavior was largely puzzling. However, an even greater riddle was the ruling party’s 12-year reign: If Georgians were so passionate about Western integration, why did they keep reelecting the anti-EU Georgian Dream (GD) for more than a decade? Under Mikhael Saakashvili’s leadership, in 2008, Georgia faced a major political setback. Despite significant democratic reforms and its active support for international military operations, Western partners didn’t grant Georgia NATO’s Membership Action Plan. And Russia’s subsequent invasion left the country devastated, while…

The Turkish air force hit Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) targets in northern Syria and Iraq late Wednesday night, its defense ministry announced, in retaliation for a deadly attack on the headquarters of a defense company near Ankara earlier in the day. According to the Turkish state-run news agency Anadolu, 32 targets were destroyed in the evening attack, and air operations are ongoing. The defense ministry said Turkey’s armed forces would “continue the fight against terrorism with determination and resolve until not a single terrorist remains.” Earlier in the day, Turkey’s Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya said members of the PKK were…

“My colleagues felt betrayed because the EPP did not respect the deal and they voted together with the Patriots [on] several amendments,” Negrescu said. “[That] is a problem because you see rapporteurs from EPP or shadow [rapporteurs] incapable of keeping the unity” of the group. After the EPP pulled its move, S&D, Renew and the Greens decided to vote against the text as a whole, alongside the Patriots who, despite their success in getting the migration amendments passed, regarded the resolution itself as “unacceptable,” Hungarian MEP Tamás Deutsch said.  “If you like relying on the far right, then maybe you…
