EU leaders have given up on trying to convince Orban to end his veto on the €90bn 🇺🇦loan, after trying for 90 minutes. The assumption is he will not relent until after the 🇭🇺election on 12 April. So will they move to Plan B (formerly known as Plan A): using 🇷🇺frozen assets?

This was the first time the leader of Spain and the leader of Germany met since the latter insulted the former by not defending him in the Oval Office. Sanchez strode right up to confront 🇩🇪Merz, who apparently didn't call the 🇪🇸PM after the Oval Office incident because he 'had the wrong phone number'. The conversation looked tense, even if there were smiles initially. In the background was Irish leader Micheál Martin, who could have given Merz some lessons on how to defend your fellow Europeans to Trump. Earlier in the week on St Patricks Day he defended 🇬🇧PM Keir Starmer while in the Oval Office, after Trump again attacked the British prime minister. It's hard to imagine that Starmer would have done the same for Martin. Some of the leaders of Europe's smaller countries may have something to teach the leaders of Europe's large countries about dignity, self-respect and European solidarity.

Este es el Presidente del Gobierno de España, no espera a coincidir con el canciller alemán, va directamente hacia él nada más entrar en la sala, las cosas es mejor hablarlas a la cara que por teléfono. Esta valentía es la que ahoga a los votantes de la extrema derecha española.

.@NATO has a SecGen problem. The carpet in human form that is @SecGenNATO keeps publicly praising whatever Trump does, being at odds with other NATO members. And this raises expectations in the White House about what NATO should do. But Rutte is supposed to make *all* the member states happy, not just Daddy.

Italy’s defence minister confirms our reporting today that Europe’s biggest naval powers won’t begin escorting ships through the Strait of Hormuz until the conflict ends: “No war mission. No entry into Hormuz without a truce and without an extended multilateral initiative.”

Guido Crosetto@GuidoCrosetto

Ho letto interpretazioni totalmente errate sul documento approvato oggi da alcune nazioni europee e non, tra cui l’Italia. Nessuna missione di guerra. Nessun ingresso ad Hormuz senza un a tregua e senza un’iniziativa multilaterale estesa. Siamo consapevoli però dell’importanza per tutti di lavorare per la riapertura in sicurezza di Hormuz e riteniamo che sia giusto ed opportuno che siano le Nazioni Unite ad offrire la cornice giuridica per un’iniziativa pacifica e multilaterale per raggiungere questo obiettivo.

Both 🇫🇷President Macron and 🇩🇪Chancellor Merz said in their #EUCO closing press conferences just now that they would only consider sending ships to the Strait of Hormuz once the conflict has ended.

Merz opens the possibility of ending unanimity in 🇪🇺Council in response to the "unprecedented" actions of Orban today. He says what happens today will have big implications beyond just this issue. The Council will have to revisit how it works.

Asked about whether the war is going to lead to significant inflation, Merz says yes. But how much he cannot predict, it "depends on how long this conflict goes on" he says.

Here are 🇪🇺conclusions on #Lebanon. Macron insisted this be addressed. Israel's invasion of the south and bombing of Beirut has so far displaced one million people and killed an estimated 900 people. The EU "condemns Hezbollah’s decision to attack Israel in support of Iran".

This is the 🇪🇺 conclusions' language on the Strait of Hormuz. It's still a no to sending ships. Note that the existing mandates of the Red Sea missions will not be changed.
