The EU is done waiting on Washington. Brussels is courting CPTPP countries to redefine global trade — in an attempt to show that rules-based trade is still alive and kicking. My latest for @POLITICOEurope with @g_lanktree and @Busvine👇 politico.eu/article/goodby…
Donald Trump’s trade threats have tested EU chief executive Ursula von der Leyen’s patience. Her response? To team up with a Pacific-centric trade group that includes nations like Japan, Australia, Canada and Mexico. But could such a coalition work? 🔗 ow.ly/om9Q50Wiap5
EU President Ursula von der Leyen wants her bloc to team up with a 12-nation Pacific trade group as Trump wreaks havoc on global trade. That could serve as a new platform for fans of rules-based trade. politico.eu/article/goodby…

The EU is not ready to give in to Trump's 10% global tariff - talks are ongoing. #G7Kananaskis2025 politico.eu/article/eu-don…
The U.K. has been accused of undermining World Trade Organization rules through its trade pact with the U.S., potentially straining Britain’s “reset” with the European Union. With WTO brainbox @carolinee_hug and the brilliant @jakobweizman politico.eu/article/uk-acc…
Muy buen artículo sobre el peso del comercio de la Unión Europea 🇪🇺 en el mundo y la dirección que está tomando Por el periodista @jakobweizman, que es garantía
The US accounts for 13 percent of world trade. The EU accounts for around 16 percent — and is looking to extend its lead. Here’s our rundown of the deals Brussels wants to get done 👇 🔗 ow.ly/8AUm50VHAAU
The U.S. makes up 13% of global trade — and the EU is setting its sights beyond that. Read my explainer for @POLITICOEurope here 👇

In case you missed it: @jakobweizman et moi wrote a story on the EU eyeing #Serbia's lithium reserves to drive its green transition. Activists and many citizens are vehemently against the mining project, citing fears of environmental damage. #Jadar politico.eu/article/serbia…
As someone whose family is receiving a Stolpersteine this year, this is absolutely disgusting. These victims who died, fled, or survived the camps do not deserve to have their memory desecrated.
We firmly condemn the desecration of Stolpersteine in Brussels, a vile distortion of history and a desecration of memory. Such acts are not only offensive but are part of a growing trend where anti-Zionism serves as a thin veil for antisemitism. The memory of the Shoah must be…
The EU, in its ambitious shift to EVs, has placed a strategic bet on Serbia’s lithium reserves. But if Brussels decides to support a mining project facing intense resistance from Serbs, it could undermine the Balkan nation’s support for EU membership. 🔗 ow.ly/HlWJ50VCR7E
The EU wants Serbia’s lithium to power its green transition and reduce Chinese dependence. But people in Serbia won’t go down without a fight. Our investigation into the controversial Jadar project in Serbia is finally out 👇🏻 with @contextual94

Looks like we've got ourselves a trade war! Stellar (and quick) reporting from @CamGijs and @Koen_Verhelst ✍️ politico.eu/article/eu-tak…
The European Union is negotiating with a trade bazooka in its hand, but can’t agree on whether to pull the trigger just yet. The key question of how to respond to Donald Trump’s trade broadside threatens to open cracks in the bloc’s fragile cohesion. politico.eu/article/eu-tra…
We spoke with Czechia's foreign minister on what comes next in the EU's response to Trump's tariffs. Could American gas still be on the table? Read more here 👇
The EU should encourage U.S. President Donald Trump to reverse trade tariffs by buying more American gas, while simultaneously threatening penalties of its own, Czechia's top diplomat said. politico.eu/article/eu-dea…
