Corporate cars play a crucial role in EU's transition to zero-emission mobility.

We propose:

💼 Tax benefits for companies supporting the switch
🚖 Actions for taxis and ride-hailing
🛫 More decarbonised vehicles at airport rentals

A zero-emission car should be the norm, not a luxury.

🌍 Sustainable Progress:
The EU continues its push toward a circular economy by 2025, with stricter recycling policies and sustainable product designs leading the way.

Europe is embracing transformation—toward sustainability, innovation, and resilience.

🌱 Environmental Milestones:
Solar energy overtook coal for the first time in the EU, generating 11% of electricity in 2024.

Vilnius, Lithuania, was named the 2025 European Green Capital for its innovative sustainability efforts, including clean energy use and biodiversity preservation.

💪 Building a Stronger Europe:
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen marked the first 100 days of her term by highlighting bold initiatives, including the Clean Industrial Deal and REARM Europe, an €800 billion defense package aimed at boosting security and innovation.

Europe must be able to protect and defend itself.

At yesterday's European Council, we committed to taking greater responsibility for our own security.

The urgency is real. So is our resolve. ↓

The U.S. gets a lot from NATO: strong allies, global military reach, shared defense costs, and major geopolitical influence. Plus, stability among allies boosts trade & supports U.S. defense industries. NATO = power & partnership. 🌍💪 #NATO #Geopolitics #US

Did you know? The U.S. is NATO's biggest supporter, covering 16% of NATO's common funding (about $753M in 2024) and spending $967B on defense overall! 🇺🇸💪 Plus, the U.S. backs NATO through programs like the $3.9B European Deterrence Initiative to boost readiness in Europe. #NATO #DefenseSpending

Thats why there is distribution of power between different pillars. The presidency is not a monarchy.

🇺🇸 Americans
Ever wondered how a bill becomes a law?
1️⃣ A member of Congress introduces the bill.
2️⃣ Committee Review: Committees analyze, amend, or table it.
3️⃣ House & Senate Votes: Both chambers must pass the same version.
4️⃣ The president can sign, veto, or let it become law without signing. 🏛️

The mail on Sunday headline which reads Now Stop The State Visit for Bully Trump

Extraordinary.

4. Global Perception of U.S. Leadership: These comments may erode trust in U.S. commitments to allies and democratic principles, especially as they contradict longstanding support for Ukraine against Russian aggression.

3. Impact on European Allies: Trump's stance has raised concerns among European nations about a possible shift in U.S. policy that could pressure Ukraine to cede territory, potentially destabilizing the postwar international order.

2. Domestic Political Divisions: U.S. lawmakers have reacted sharply, with Democrats criticizing Trump for echoing Russian propaganda and some Republicans distancing themselves from his claims, emphasizing Russia's responsibility for the war.

1. Strained U.S.-Ukraine Relations: Trump's remarks undermine Ukraine's international standing and could weaken its position in peace negotiations. His suggestion that Ukraine should either make peace or fight alone hints at potential U.S. disengagement, which may embolden Russia

Donald Trump's recent comments on Ukraine, including blaming Ukraine for the war and criticizing President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, could lead to several consequences:

Projection

I would laugh, if i wasnt crying

With notable drops among younger voters and independents. This represents a slight but consistent decline in public support over the past few months.

Not enough:

Donald Trump's approval ratings have declined since November 2024. At that time, his approval was around 49.7%, matching his share of the vote in the election. In February 2025, his approval ratings range from 44% to 48%, depending on the poll.

If done right investment programmes can be quite good for a country but there is no oversight in this administration

Trump claims the program could generate significant revenue, attract affluent individuals, and help reduce the national debt.

Critics note it allows wealthy individuals to bypass traditional investment or job creation requirements, unlike similar programs worldwide

Donald Trump has announced a new $5 million "gold card" visa program aimed at wealthy foreigners, providing permanent U.S. residency and a path to citizenship. This initiative is set to replace the EB-5 investor visa program, which required investment in U.S. businesses creating jobs.

$73 billion in financial and humanitarian aid.

$52 billion in military assistance.

$18 billion to support Ukrainian refugees within the EU.

A dedicated $50 billion Ukraine Facility for 2024–2027 to aid recovery and reconstruction135.

As of early 2025, the European Union (EU) and its member states have collectively provided over $174 billion in financial, military, humanitarian, and refugee assistance to Ukraine since the start of the war. This includes:

EU Support to Ukraine:

The EU has committed over €93 billion in financial and economic aid to Ukraine since February 2022. This includes the €50 billion Ukraine Facility (2024–2027) for recovery, reconstruction, and modernization, with €15.6 billion mobilized in 2024 alone124.

After 1,000 National Park Service employees were abruptly fired on February 14, staff banded together to signal “dire distress” by draping an upside-down American flag from the 3,000-foot summit of Yosemite’s iconic El Capitan monolith.
