@rkefferputz.bsky.social pushes back:
"The analogy is, of course, absurd. China’s century of humiliation stripped the country of its sovereignty and contributed to tens of millions of deaths through war, occupation, and famine. Nobody is dying in Athens, Antwerp, or Aachen because of a 15% tariff."

Iceland’s new government has promised to hold a referendum on the country’s EU accession by 2027 at the latest.

As our Director @rkefferputz.bsky.social puts it: "Northern enlargement would reinforce the EU’s global weight, institutional credibility, and resilience. Progress in the North could re-energise the EU’s broader enlargement agenda and show that the Union remains open and forward-looking."
