Von der Leyen responds to Trump’s threat of 50% tariffs on June 1 by saying if he wants a deal, he needs to go back to the 90-day pause that ends early July
Unspoken, implied addition: “Or we’ll hit you back”

Good call with POTUS.
The EU and US share the world’s most consequential and close trade relationship.
Europe is ready to advance talks swiftly and decisively.
To reach a good deal, we would need the time until July 9.

My warmest congratulations to Nicușor Dan on his victory tonight!
The Romanian people have turned out massively to the polls.
They have chosen the promise of an open, prosperous Romania in a strong Europe.
Together, let’s deliver on that promise.
Looking forward to working with you.

Needless to say, Brussels and the majority of European capitals are breathing an enormous sigh of relief right now.
🚨 Just in: Nicușor Dan defeats George Simion to become president of Romania.
Dan: 54,29%
Simion: 45,71%
With over 98% of votes counted, it's mathematically impossible for Simion to overtake Dan.

Trump opponents ready to take to streets with nationwide protests
Some 1,200 demonstrations are planned across the U.S. on Saturday in what organizers expect to be the largest single day of protest against President Donald Trump and his billionaire ally Elon Musk since the administration launched its rapid-fire effort to put a conservative stamp on government.

The severe sanctions that Donald Trump has slapped on the U.S. economy will be hard to lift. If WTO history is any guide, tariffs can be implemented overnight but their elimination take years if not decades.

Real shame that it took so long. I guess Germany needed the CDU to kill CDU‘s fiscal ideology. Sigh.
CDU/CSU &SPD have just proposed a sea change in German fiscal policy:
- defence spending above 1% of GDP exempt from debt brake
- 10-year €500bn special fund for infrastructure
- looser debt rules for states
- further debt-brake reform in new Bundestag

I can make that make sense - America is no longer Canada's "closest partner and ally".
But the EU has been steadfastly by Canada's side.

I was stunned in Munich when Vance said Europe's liberal "enemies within" were a bigger threat than Russia and China.
Over the last week in Brussels, I lost count of the amount of European officials or diplomats who told me the US is a bigger threat than China.
Quite the journey.
