The working lunch between Trump and Takaichi has been canceled. Trump wants a substantial meeting, not just the scheduled 30 minutes. (Wants a clear answer on Hormuz?) 日米首脳ランチ中止に　トランプ氏意向、会談延長へ：時事ドットコム jiji.com/jc/article?k=2… via @jijicom

Jens Stoltenberg is refreshingly clear on the fact that the 🇺🇸🇮🇱 war is against international law. And says that NATO should stay out of any involvement in it.

German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius is "very much concerned" over Ukraine after Trump partially lifted oil sanctions against Russia. Pistorius says drying up Russian oil revenues is the only way to get Putin to the negotiation table "this is the opposite."

Meet Germany‘s soon first State Premier with migrant roots. Green Cem Özdemir just narrowly won the elections in the auto making hub Baden-Württemberg. I caught up with him last night to talk his recipe against the far right AfD and what it means to be the son of migrant workers.

Das ist echt und wird wirklich vom White House verbreitet.

Thank you for this support.

Ich habe Friedrich Merz im Oval Office gefragt, wie er auf die Drohung des US-Präsidenten reagiert, den Handel mit dem EU-Partner Spanien einzustellen. Die Antwort des Bundeskanzlers war wenig solidarisch:

Here’s the translation: “I will speak with President Trump in Washington on Tuesday about the latest developments in the Middle East. I am in close contact with partners in Europe, Israel, and the region. Now is not the time for lectures, but for unity and joint action.”

U.S. President Donald Trump has canceled his trip to Northern Italy, where he had planned to attend the Winter Olympics. According to the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera, the president called off the visit. He had been scheduled to attend Sunday’s ice hockey final between the United States and neighboring Canada. However, his calendar now indicates that he will instead participate in two meetings at the White House that day. The cancellation has also been confirmed by the U.S. Consulate in Milan. —BT

Today’s 6-3 ruling by the Supreme Court is a Victory for the American People and a Win for the Separation of Powers enshrined in the Constitution of the United States. In Learning Resources, Inc. v. Trump, our Supreme Court has reaffirmed that the Constitution grants Congress - not the President - the power to tax. American families and American businesses pay American tariffs - not foreign countries. With this decision, American families and businesses can breathe a sigh of relief. I’m proud of the work our organization @AmericanFreedom has done on this case through our robust amicus brief program to advance economic freedom and defend the Constitution. With this historic decision, America can now return to the pursuit of Free Trade with Free Nations under the Constitution of the United States!🇺🇸

We take note of the ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court and are analysing it carefully. We remain in close contact with the U.S. Administration as we seek clarity on the steps they intend to take in response to this ruling. 1/2

BREAKING: The Supreme Court has struck down President Trump's tariff authority, saying his claim of emergency authority to issue sweeping tariffs to America's trading partners was unlawful. supremecourt.gov/opinions/25pdf…

@ewong Sorry, @ewong: #Rubio’s language of civilizational decline is deeply off-putting to Europeans. And the reference to not wanting allies to be “shackled by guilt and shame” is a direct lift from the “Schuldkult” (cult of guilt) rhetoric of the GE hard-right AfD. Chilling stuff.

امروز شاهزاده رضا پهلوی از طریق ویدئوکنفرانس با رودریش کیزِوِتِر، نماینده مجلس فدرال آلمان و عضو کمیته امور خارجه بوندستاگ، گفت‌وگو کرد. در این گفت‌وگو، دو طرف درباره شکست چند دهه سیاست مماشات با جمهوری اسلامی و همچنین رویکرد به‌مراتب قاطع‌تر دولت کنونی آلمان تبادل نظر کردند. همچنین بر این موضوع تأکید شد که ایران آزاد بار دیگر روابطی دوستانه و سازنده با آلمان و اروپا خواهد داشت و پس از ۴۷ سال آشوب، ترور و باج‌گیری رژیم، زمینه‌های همکاری‌های گسترده اقتصادی، انرژی و امنیتی میان طرفین احیا خواهد شد.

To all the athletes representing @TeamUSA: I'm so proud of you. Your talent and perseverance have brought you to this moment, and Michelle and I will be joining Americans from across the country cheering you on.

Return to the Land, which co‑founder Eric Orwoll has said is for whites only, is now being sued. I reported on it last summer, here is the link: youtu.be/olObgYm8jhw?si…

Talked to Trump about Minneapolis today, where he says “at some point we will leave” and said he didn’t know if he supported the ICE officer who shot. wsj.com/politics/polic…

@walberque @NinaHaase @DeutscheWelle It was a great pleasure learning from you, I hope we talk soon again, dear @walberque

Wow, great talk! @NinaHaase and I spoke with @inespohl about Germany, Greenland, and the US, focusing on Germany's defense shortfall, NATO, nuclear deterrence options, and the future (as far as we can guess). Thanks @DeutscheWelle dw.com/en/dwcom-berli… youtube.com/watch?v=ZGh_T3…

Greenland deal commits 🇺🇸 and 🇬🇱 + allies to: 1) no tariffs 2) renegotiation of 1951 agreement allowing stationing of US troops 3) US say on investments 4) stronger European security commitment in 🇬🇱 Sources close to talks tell me. Details still to be agreed.

Territorial integrity and sovereignty are fundamental principles of international law. They are essential for Europe and for the international community as a whole. We have consistently underlined our shared transatlantic interest in peace and security in the Arctic, including through NATO. The pre-coordinated Danish exercise, conducted with allies, responds to the need to strengthen Arctic security and poses no threat to anyone. The EU stands in full solidarity with Denmark and the people of Greenland. Dialogue remains essential, and we are committed to building on the process begun already last week between the Kingdom of Denmark and the US. Tariffs would undermine transatlantic relations and risk a dangerous downward spiral. Europe will remain united, coordinated, and committed to upholding its sovereignty.
