Hej @eu2025dk.bsky.social 🇪🇺🇩🇰

A very warm welcome to Denmark as it begins its EU Council Presidency.

I look forward to working together on a safe and competitive Europe.

With Danish pragmatism and leadership, Europe is in good hands.⁩

Brussels has developed a growing toolkit – legal, procedural and purely political – to stop Hungarian PM Viktor Orbán from paralysing EU foreign-policy decisions with his ever-lengthening list of vetoes on Ukraine-related aid and Russia/Israel sanctions.

Trump says he’ll use revenue from tariffs to “offset” more big tax cuts.

Those tax cuts will disproportionately benefit wealthy Americans and big corporations.

But revenue raised from tariffs will be coming disproportionately from average working people.

See how this works?

President Trump said on Sunday that he was “not joking” about the possibility of seeking a third presidential term, suggesting that there were “methods” to circumvent the two-term limit enshrined in the Constitution. We explain why the 22nd Amendment exists. nyti.ms/3E4tXvT

The scenes in the Oval Office today will shame the US for decades. They’ll never be forgotten.

A world leader, fighting for his country against the 21st century’s Nazis, came to the US and was attacked & abused by a gangster regime siding with the fascist invaders.

A historic disgrace.
