All eyes on #Anchorage, #Alaska for tomorrow’s #Trump–#Putin meeting.
In my interview with CGTN, I explain why recent reassurances from German Chancellor Merz and #Zelensky may not be enough to calm fears, and why Trump’s unpredictability keeps leaders on edge

Together with @sottilotta.bsky.social, I’ve written a new @cepger.bsky.social policy brief entitled “Trade-offs and Risks in EU Digital Policy”, in which we unpack the tough choices Europe faces in its digital policy trilemma. The EU must therefore prioritise. www.cep.eu/eu-topics/de...

The Italian government has just shared with the media that journalist #CeciliaSala has been released from Evin Prison in Tehran & is on her way back home. #Meloni will surely capitalize on this diplomatic success, coming just 3 days after her visit to #US President-elect #Trump...

Check out this article on #Meloni and #ElonMusk. As the EU tackles #digitalsovereignty and #AI, could Musk be looking to Italy as a valuable (& ideologically aligned)ally while Brussels shapes policy? I shared some thoughts w/ Marina García Dieguez from Artículo14 www.articulo14.es/internaciona...
