🚨 NEW: Keir Starmer is set to ban cryptocurrency donations after a review concluded they risk foreign interference in UK democracy [@thetimes]

🇪🇺🇺🇸 Who has “better cards” in hand? The tone of Trump’s handling of trade talks with EU might suggest that US is a net exporter to, not importer from, EU. But EU’s €200 billion surplus with US in trade of goods in 2025 means that it is the American consumer who has as much to lose as European exporters. While EU is indeed reliant on US for LNG supplies to replace Russia, EU has pipeline gas options from 🇳🇴Norway (EU’s biggest natural gas supplier), Northern Africa and 🇬🇧UK, with some LNG alternatives too. The total value of LNG sold by US to EU - €19 billion in 2025 - represents only 2.2% of the overall volume of US-EU trade in goods (€867 billion). A question might also be asked about genuine leverage to play the LNG card when a bulk of natural gas being sold by US to Europe is, in fact, coming from 🇨🇦Canada …










While Trump lectures the world on economic independence, the world just moved on without him. Today, the EU signed a free trade deal with Australia. Earlier this year, they closed one with India. In May, the Mercosur deal covering Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay and Paraguay kicks in. Brussels is signing with everyone. Washington is tariffing everyone. This is what strategic genius looks like, apparently. Let’s take a moment to appreciate the sheer, majestic stupidity of what America is doing. You have the world’s largest economy, built entirely on imported components, foreign manufacturing, overseas credit and a global supply chain so intricate it makes a Swiss watch look like a hammer. And the plan, the actual plan, is to slap tariffs of up to 100% on the entire planet and wait for prosperity to arrive. Here’s the problem, genius. When 90% of what fills American shelves was made somewhere else, you can’t just tax the world into submission. You’re not punishing China. You’re punishing the woman in Ohio buying a toaster. A toaster that, by the way, now costs twice what it did last year because some man in a very large house decided globalisation was for losers. And then there’s Iran. Bombing Iran was supposed to send a message. It did. It sent oil to over $100 a barrel. Magnificent. Americans are now paying through the nose at the pump to fund a military adventure that achieved the geopolitical equivalent of kicking a hornets’ nest while wearing shorts. You wanted energy dominance. You got inflation. Congratulations. The rest of the world watched all this and responded with breathtaking pragmatism. They didn’t panic. They didn’t beg. They opened their laptops, called their trade ministers and started signing documents. The EU didn’t need America at the table. Nobody did. The table got bigger. America just isn’t sitting at it anymore. You cannot bomb your way to cheap oil. You cannot tariff your way out of globalisation when your entire economy is a monument to it. And you cannot isolate yourself from a world that has collectively decided to carry on without you. There is no island. Not even for a country that size. Especially not for a country that size.
