The shallow US - UK "deal" shows one thing. Trump & the Brexit eilte want to deepen the wedge between EU & UK. Trade between 🇬🇧🇪🇺 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!

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'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.

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.

Ukraine accepted a ceasefire, Russia did not. This is Trump’s response: “if, for some reason, one of the two parties makes it very difficult, we're just going to say, 'You're foolish, you're fools, you're horrible people' & we're going to just take a pass”
Trump says US will 'pass' on Ukraine peace talks if no progress soon
Trump's comments came hours after US Secretary of State Marco Rubio warned that the US could abandon talks.

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! ;-)

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.

Trump slams President Zelensky for demanding a seat at peace negotiations over his own country’s future:
“You’ve been there for three years. You should’ve ended it in three years. You should have never started it.”
(Fact check: Russia started the war against Ukraine.)

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