This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else.

1. För några dagar sedan fick jag som första svensk följa med inuti en svenskdonerad Archerpjäs på en skarp elduppgift, ”fire mission”, och fick på nära håll se hur de arbetar. Det är en mäktig känsla att sitta i en 15 meter lång och 35 ton tung artilleripjäs som flyger fram över dammiga åkervägar.

US tariffs will harm the US, EU & global economy.
That's why we want to avoid them.
That's why we're saying to the US:
There's a better way to do this. Let's sit down & discuss what that better way might look like.
So we can avoid this pain - for you, for us, for everyone.

On tariffs, the EU is prepared for whatever may come.
We deeply regret the imposition of tariffs by the US and we call on them to be revoked.
We want to negotiate to avoid such tariffs - they bring nothing but lose-lose outcomes.
We want to focus on win-win outcomes.

Tariffs are taxes.
They are bad for business, and even worse for consumers.
Today Europe takes strong but proportionate countermeasures.

We are far more likely to use our hands to type or swipe than pick up a pen. But in the process we are in danger of losing cognitive skills, sensory experience – and a connection to history
