@DaveKeating You’ve worked in a newsroom, Dave, right?

This article was truly some of the weirdest Politico spin I've ever seen. Out of touch with the editorial leadership now based in Washington? Or is there an agenda?

Deal is 'done', but lots remains unclear - EU now finds itself in a very similar bind as Japan, UK and Indonesia before it: try to lock this down on paper in a matter of days. politico.eu/article/us-and…

TURNBERRY, Scotland — Trump, von der Leyen hopeful of trade progress politico.eu/article/us-and… w/ @Koen_Verhelst

‘Goodbye Trump, hello Asia’ is the EU’s new trade strategy. Will it work? Important story from @jakobweizman @g_lanktree and @Busvine politico.eu/article/goodby…

New: President Trump’s approach to trade talks is making it difficult for foreign governments to sell agreements at home. In India, his claim of brokering India-Pakistan peace is riling Indians — making it harder to sell a trade deal. w/ @drdesrochers politico.com/news/2025/06/2…

Bizarre to "grant anonymity" to a Commission official who just gives out the same line that the Commission gave at its press conference. politico.eu/article/von-de…

Q: “It sounds like you're saying that if the US does not return to fair trade as you describe it, that Europe will look elsewhere.” EU Trade Chief @MarosSefcovic: “I think we already are, to be honest, because I think that was always our motto, our agenda that we are the biggest trader on this planet.”

The EU to Donald Trump on tariffs: Go ahead, make our day. politico.eu/article/donald…

🇩🇪🗳️ German election 2025 The conservative coalition (CDU/CSU) won Sunday’s national vote, while the far-right AfD saw its best-ever result, winning swathes of support in the east. For the SPD, it was a disaster. The results: politico.eu/article/german… Your morning reading 👇

The overall picture of 🇪🇺🇺🇸 trade relations shows a robust level playing field for businesses on both sides 👉the deficits in goods + services nearly balance out 👉EU FDI in the U.S. totals $2.8 trillion. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. My remarks @AEI: europa.eu/!RdyRPP

We're one step closer to Trump's "reciprocal tariffs." The EU's first line of retaliation could be symbolic, by reinstating its 2018 tariffs on Harley-Davidson bikes or Levi jeans. But Brussels knows symbolism alone won’t be enough to deter him. politico.eu/article/eu-str…

Donald Trump may be about to trigger the biggest global trade war since the 1930s. But how do tariffs actually work? How far will this conflict escalate? Can Europe escape? We answer all your burning questions 👇 ow.ly/IHuS50USXZ8

If you don’t know who’s set to re-elect himself as Belarus’s dictator on January 26, read my new cover story for @POLITICOEurope . Based on phone calls, I gathered evidence showing how the man who jails the Belarusians hypocritically weaponises migrants for his games. #Belarus #Europe politico.eu/article/alexan…

Important reporting by @tashurkevich in @politico: Lukashenka's regime weaponizes migration to sow chaos in the EU—costing lives & exploiting vulnerable people. This is hybrid warfare targeting democracy. Europe must stay united against this cruelty. politico.eu/article/alexan…

NEW: 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. politico.eu/article/donald…
