Elon Musk should steer clear of politics, says top British businessman – POLITICO Skip to main content

Donald Trump’s demand for Greenland is no 19th-century imperial throwback. Rather it signals a hypermodern reality: a world transforming thanks to climate change, with China, Russia and the United States jostling to take advantage. Greenland’s ice sheets are losing 270 billion tons of water per year, while Arctic sea ice is vanishing so rapidly that the polar sea may be ice-free by some summer in the 2030s. This unfreezing opens new possibilities for resource extraction, faster trade routes, space and military bases, new fishing zones and great power confrontation. Moscow and Beijing are moving to exert control over the Arctic…

A travers l’Europe, se lier avec Weidel est considéré comme une provocation, car les membres de son parti populiste et anti-immigration, l’Alternative pour l’Allemagne (AfD), sont accusés depuis des années de whitewashing et de banaliser les crimes nazis. L’AfD est actuellement en deuxième position dans les sondages. Emmanuel Macron a rapidement accusé Musk d’être allé trop loin dans en clamant son soutien à l’AfD. “Voilà dix ans, si on nous avait dit que le propriétaire d’un des plus grands réseaux sociaux du monde soutiendrait une nouvelle internationale réactionnaire et interviendrait directement dans les élections, y compris en Allemagne, qui l’aurait…

Standing alongside the French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot, Blinken said the U.S. was “stronger” and “more effective” when it works with allies rather than “saying and doing things that alienate them,” he added. But with Blinken leaving office in matter of days, it’s unlikely his comments will help reassure Europeans, especially as the incoming administration has promised a clean break from current President Joe Biden’s foreign policy. Earlier in the day, Barrot had warned that it was “out of the question” that the European Union would let other countries “attack its sovereign borders.” When speaking next to Blinken, Barrot dialed…

The leaders of Romania’s governing coalition parties also reaffirmed their support Wednesday for former National Liberal Party leader Crin Antonescu as their common candidate for president. The parties first announced Antonescu’s candidacy last month. The announcements come just over a month after Romania’s Constitutional Court canceled the initial election just a few days before a runoff was to take place between independent ultranationalist candidate Călin Georgescu and Elena Lasconi, a reformist candidate from the center-right Save Romania Union party. The top court made the unprecedented decision and ordered a do-over due to suspicions that Georgescu was propelled by Russia into…

Polls suggest the election will be decided in a runoff vote between Warsaw Mayor Rafał Trzaskowski, the candidate for Tusk’s Civic Platform, and historian Karol Nawrocki, who has been nominated as PiS’s candidate despite not being a member of the party. Nawrocki is currently trailing behind on 26.2 percent, with Trzaskowski being predicted 35.7 percent, according to a December poll from the Institute for Market and Social Research. At the last presidential election in 2015, Duda went from being a virtual nobody on the backbenches of the European Parliament to defeating incumbent Bronisław Komorowski, who ran as an independent with the support…

“[When] combined with the spread of false information about the violation of the ceasefire by the Armenian army, [this will] form a “justification” for a new escalation in the region,” Pashinyan told Armenpress on Wednesday. Aliyev and his government have been accused of stirring up ethnic hatred against Armenians. Azerbaijan has fought a series of wars against its neighbor since 2020. In September 2023, Azerbaijani forces conquered the breakaway region of Nagorno-Karabakh, sparking an exodus of its entire 100,000-strong ethnic Armenian population — drawing allegations of ethnic cleansing from Western NGOs and watchdogs. Aliyev’s fascism claim came after the Azeri…
