Trump was unpopular in many European countries even before Iran. The fallout from that conflict, including the impact on fuel prices, has only deepened the animosity that many European voters feel toward the U.S. president. Luke Tryl, from the More in Common think tank, presented new research at the Reform conference showing how a key group of British swing voters are skeptical of Trump and “worry about the turbulence on the world stage.” “There is a core of Reform voters for whom there is a Trump problem,” Tryl told a meeting on the fringes of the conference. This group of…

But last week, U.S. President Donald Trump suggested he was reconsidering Washington’s support for Britain’s sovereignty over the islands. “I always review every position — that’s just one of many,” he told reporters. Days later, on Friday, right-wing Argentinian President Javier Milei, a Trump ally, escalated the rhetoric over his country’s enduring claim to the islands, pledging to levy sanctions against companies drilling for oil nearby without approval from Buenos Aires. Britain’s center-left Labour government immediately rejected Milei’s threat. A Downing Street spokesperson said the islanders have a right to self-determination and that the U.K. supports their right “to develop…
Published on 05/09/2026 – 15:51 GMT+2 According to the latest data published by Eurostat (31 August 2026), EU member states produced 34.4 billion litres of beer in 2025.

Ranking of the largest beer-producing countries (2025) Germany remains by far the EU’s brewing powerhouse, while Spain holds on to second place and is still one…
“This is due to the preparation and conduct of American contacts in Kyiv,” Peskov said. Witkoff and Kushner are expected to travel to the Ukrainian capital on Sunday.

Saturday’s pause order followed a broad Russian overnight attack across Ukraine that killed at least five people and injured six others, according to the Kyiv Independent. “They were deliberate, for the first time in…

The decision follows the same pattern that has defined the stand-off between Madrid and Rome since the summer. Spain introduced these checks for the first time on 8 August, through Order INT/846/2026, as a direct response to Italy’s earlier suspension of the free-movement regime for travellers arriving from Spanish territory. Italy, for its part, had already extended its own checks until 15 September —…
