Belgium and Romania propose women for Commission posts after deadline passes
Belgium was the only EU country to miss the deadline set by Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen, who is attempting to ensure gender balance among her senior officials.
Sir Keir Starmer says he is "really pleased" that the UK and the EU have committed to "reset" their relationship. Welcoming his "friend" and president of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen to 10 Downing Street, Sir Keir Starmer comments on the work that has been done on energy security at a London summit on Thursday and adds: "In a world which seems increasingly unstable with an uncertain future, it is so good that we are working so closely together on so many issues."

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has delivered a bold statement: “The West as we knew it no longer exists.” In a powerful new interview, she blames President Trump’s aggressive tariffs—20% on EU goods and 25% on cars—for collapsing the once-strong transatlantic alliance. As EU-U.S. trade tensions grow, the EU is pivoting toward new global partners. Von der Leyen says 87% of the world’s trade now happens outside the U.S., marking a clear shift in economic power. Is the era of a united West truly over?

President Donald Trump has rejected the European Union’s "zero-for-zero" tariff proposal for industrial goods, calling it "very, very bad." Trump argued that the EU restricts U.S. cars and agriculture, and retaliated by imposing a 20% tariff on European exports. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen warned of countermeasures if talks collapse. As tensions escalate, EU stock markets tumbled, with Germany’s DAX and the UK’s FTSE 100 suffering heavy losses. The standoff risks disrupting transatlantic trade worth over €1 trillion annually, threatening global economic stability.
