7. 'We will need a European special envoy for Ukraine': Finnish President Alexander StubbПт, 28 мар[-/+]Категория(?) Автор(?) | One of Ukraine's staunchest advocates in the EU and in NATO is Finland, which itself joined the Atlantic Alliance two years ago after decades of neutrality. We caught up with Finland’s President Alexander Stubb as he attended talks of the "coalition of the willing" hosted by French President Emmanuel Macron in Paris. Stubb gives us his perspective on European security and defence, NATO and of course the increasingly fractious relationship between the EU and the Trump administration, as the latter announces fresh tariffs on European imports.

9. 'The EU is a trade and technology superpower': European Investment Bank chief CalvinoПт, 28 мар[-/+]Категория(?) Автор(?) | The European Investment Bank has existed since the inception of the European Union in the 1950s, but despite its vital role as the EU's lending arm, it has not gained the media attention of institutions such as the European Commission or the European Parliament. That is now changing, however. The EIB is taking on a more high-profile role, financing projects in the fields of security and defence. This is a shift that our guest has referred to as a "seismic shock". Nadia Calvino is the president of the European Investment Bank, and the first woman and first Spaniard to lead the institution. She served as First Vice-President of the Spanish government and Minister of Economy, Trade and Enterprise until December 2023, in the cabinet of Socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez.

11. Europe in combat mode? Paris summit redraws Ukraine plans without WashingtonПт, 28 мар[-/+]Категория(?)

If Signalgate's still not enough, then how about a sitting US vice president announcing an uninvited visit to Greenland? A "very aggressive" posture, says Denmark's prime minister. But what can Mette Frederiksen do when her country buys most of its military hardware from the US and hosts a US Air Force base in Greenland? Медиа: image / jpeg | ↑ |
