According to several sources, the 2040 climate target will be discussed by EU leaders at Thursday's EUCO summit. France wants to raise it. Will it delay the 2040 legislative proposal from the European Commission expected on the 2nd of July?

"There are no European military bases in America. Historically, we know what such arrangements are called: protectorates or vassal states"

Beware Americans bearing gifts
JD Vance says Europe's threat isn't Russia, but the leftist enemy within. On Friday he will force a visit upon Greenland, by going to the US military base there. Are these bases the real enemy within?

Javier is very right here in calling out Europe's continuing predicament regarding Russian gas - we don't want it but can't (yet) seem to fully quit it. But the answer isn't "more gas from somewhere else", it is "less gas in general", in line with the EU's climate targets. (1/5)
