Trump stunned observers by announcing a â100% EU Tariff Deal,â signaling a dramatic shift in transatlantic trade policy. The move, hailed as a game-changer by Trump allies, could trigger major economic ripples across the Atlantic. Meloni remained tight-lipped on details, fueling speculation about secret concessions.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has delivered a bold statement: âThe West as we knew it no longer exists.â In a powerful new interview, she blames President Trumpâs aggressive tariffsâ20% on EU goods and 25% on carsâfor 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 worldâs trade now happens outside the U.S., marking a clear shift in economic power. Is the era of a united West truly over?

Top Ukrainian officials made a surprise trip to Paris, pushing the U.S. for a tougher stance on Russia after failed ceasefire efforts. Their visit comes as Donald Trump's envoys, including Marco Rubio, meet with European leaders. With Ukraine accusing Trump of appeasing Moscow, tensions have reached a new peak. France, Germany, and the UK are pressing for action after deadly attacks on civilians in Sumy. Trump, frustrated by both sides, blamed Zelenskyy for provoking the warâraising alarms across Europe. A new security framework may be on the table, but peace remains distant.
