Extremely important point from Brad: Europe’s core problem is that both of its main export markets are drying up—each for different reasons, but at the same time.
The EU’s best shot to compensate this is to get serious about completing the single market. And to boost demand from within.

La conferencia episcopal italiana se adhiere a la gran manifestación pro Europa que se va a celebrar el sábado en Roma 🇪🇺
Impensable en España. Una de las prioridades del actual presidente del episcopado español es la beatificación de Isabel la Católica.

I deeply regret the U.S. decision to impose tariffs on European steel and aluminum exports.

We will protect our workers, businesses and consumers.

Paris is hosting the AI Action Summit, but just a few months ago, France was secretly pushing to weaken the EU AI act.

Propondrá un “Europe first” en concursos públicos sensibles, entre otras cosas.

Useful chart from Bloomberg. Trump says bilateral deficit with Canada means we're subsidizing them. But more than all the imbalance is energy. This means they send us oil & gas, we send them IOUs. This is a subsidy?

Interesting. Macron is heading to London tomorrow evening for a working dinner with Starmer, focused on joint support for 🇺🇦 (as well as bilateral and 🇬🇧 🇪🇺 issues). This fits a consistent pattern of trying to bind the 🇬🇧 into European security efforts

The latest Economic Sentiment Indicator survey for the EU is out, and I can only describe it as crap. Employment expectations down, unemployment up and prices expectations higher as well. I don't like using the word stagflation lightly but this sure looks like a pretty bad mix.
