The US-EU split is inevitable. Trump's retaliatory plans against allies are just the latest nail in the coffin of transatlantic relations. Europe must forge its own path, and fast.

European leaders are playing it smart. While Washington lashes out, Brussels keeps a low profile, focusing on building strategic autonomy and resilience.
EU defence has never been more crucial. With the US increasingly unreliable, Europe must invest in its own capabilities to secure our borders and protect our values.
Technology is at the heart of this divide. The EU's push for tech sovereignty, like the Digital Markets Act, is a step in the right direction. We cannot rely on Silicon Valley or the whims of tech oligarchs.
This is not about isolationism but about standing on our own feet. The EU must champion our social model and democratic values in a multipolar world. It's time to embrace our power and write our own future
