The shallow US - UK "deal" shows one thing. Trump & the Brexit eilte want to deepen the wedge between EU & UK. Trade between πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Ί isn't growing at all!

The EU - UK Summit is the chance to correct the ludicrous economic damage of Trump & Farage's Brexit. Boldness is required!

Trump's "final offer" for peace requires Ukraine to accept Russian occupation The U.S. proposal is expected to be discussed tomorrow in London. Ukrainian officials aren't thrilled.

If Rubio, Trump, Kellogg, Vance abandon Ukraine & unleash Russia, they will go down in history as the greatest appeasers of evil the civilised world has known.

The rest of Europe must prepare to step up massively for Ukraine's freedom!

Trump & Rubio want to abandon Zelenskyy & cosy up to Russia.

They may blame Europe, too.

Not one bit of pressure on the murderer in the Kremlin.

Turning this crisis & the self immolation of the US into an opportunity will require real changes, speed & a boldness absent until now!

Please, #WakeUpEurope ! πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Ί

The Euro as a reserve currency, a capital markets union, new & deeper trade alliances. πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦πŸ‡³πŸ‡΄πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§

With the right policies, Europe could take up the US's mantle & lead a coalition to maintain parts of the liberal democratic order.

Urgent need for a group of EU leaders to outline a shared vision for our continent in this earth-shattering moment.🧡

Carney is right, the battle now is also to reduce EU dependence on US.

To become a sovereign United States of Europe.

To do this, 27 Commissioners, 27 Armies, 27 vetos, no single capital market, 3 Presidents, no single person to call in Europe..doesn't make sense!

Europe must be reimagined.

Only one response to this madman who wants to destroy the global economy..

Belgian Beer on all EU shelves (The best anyway). No more unnecessary American IPAs.

French Champagne, as it should be.

And Italian Grappa.(Scottish whiskey, maybe, too if the Brits come back! ;-)

Does Russia want peace? No.

They have to be made to want peace.

Peace through strength.

The US administration will be responsible for many more unnecessary Ukrainian civilian & military deaths.

The good guys are sanctioned, while the killers in Moscow rub their bloody hands.

What pressure is being put on Russia, Mr President?

After the Oval Office disaster, let’s remember :

Europe is wealthy,

Europe is strong,

If it wants to, Europe can deal with this.

Demand EU leaders take action! How? πŸ‘‡

A historic, shameful moment in US history as it votes with Belarus, Russia at the UN.

The gamekeeper has become the poacher.

Churchill & Roosevelt turn in their graves.

Today it’s exactly three years ago that war criminal Putin started his brutal invasion against Ukraine…with Trump siding with Putin, Europe needs to increase its support urgently … send more weapons and build an European Defense Community !

Trump is Putin’s puppet & he’s making it clear: NATO’s greatest threat is sitting in the White House.

Blaming Zelensky for Russia’s war is outright Kremlin propaganda. He’s not just betraying the Atlantic alliance,he’s working to dismantle it.

Europe, wake up NOW before it’s too late.

Who will defend Europe? Caught between an aggressive Russia and a disengaging America, the continent’s western democracies must now rearm β€” or pay the price

In this new world, if you're not around the table, you're on the menu.

If China, Russia, US are allowed to decide Europe's future, our future won't be ours.

European leaders...lead!

JD Vance attacks Europe over migration, free speech JD Vance stunned the audience with his broadside on the way Europe is run.

Is this the US speaking or Russia?

Thank you for the lessons, Mr Vance, but if you speak of democracy while supporting Europe's far right, you have no legitimacy. #MSC

Trump taxes EU products & starts a trade war.

Do Trump's pets in Europe...Farage, Wilders, OrbΓ‘n, agree with their master??

They say they are Europe's "patriots". But it's working people who will pay the price.

The ICC, WHO, USAID..Trump & billionaire South African Musk are intent on destroying everything that kept us safe since 1945. Cheered on by "European patriots" OrbΓ‘n, Farage.

The poorest will pay the price, while the autocrats of the world rejoice. EU, time to stand up!

What to do with a US President who proposes ethnic cleansing?

The only response is to stick to our European values, build new alliances with all other democracies in the world & work every day to make πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Ί stronger including a Defense Union.

We in Europe remember that Canadians died to liberate our continent.

In the face of Trump's madness, EU stands with Canada now!

There is no reason why EU membership should be off the table. πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦
