Läs en pinfärsk DN-intervju som jag gjorde i morse med @SwedishPM som just anlänt i Kiev. Vad vill han säga till ukrainska soldater? Vad säger han om Trumps Moskvavänliga retorik? Kan Europa ta ledningen om Ukraina när USA sviktar? 🇺🇦 www.dn.se/varlden/kris...

BSW — the national sociali… no, can’t do that, the socialist #Putin fanclub — failed with 4.972% of the votes to clear the 5% hurdle. So there is cosmic justice.

Merz with remarkable clarity: „Absolutely no illusions“ about Trump. Goal needs to be step by step independence from a US who „pretty much no longer cares about fate of 🇪🇺“. „Unclear whether we will still speak of NATO in present shape“ by time of June summit or we need to come up with 🇪🇺alternative.

It increasingly looks like a disasterous German election. Green needed in a Grosse Koalition. FDP out but Extreme-left possibly in. Election victory for Russia.

It’s remarkable how quickly the Trump team has sabotaged all the things that actually made the U.S. influential on the global stage. Free trade economics, strong diplomatic networks and alliances, the soft power of democratic culture and values, the hard power of a competent military …

Trump is widening his trade fight with the world to how other countries choose to tax and regulate. With that he is blowing up global trade rules and how the US has approached tariffs for almost a century. My latest for @bloomberg.com: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Feels like just about every weekend is going to be a "will he or won't he impose tariffs" drama. I'm a little surprised he hasn't turned it into a reality TV show to cash in on it. Catchphrase: "You're tariffed!"

Going from a rule-based to a transaction-based trading system opens in itself a door to corruption. Incentives to influence discretionary trade policies increase. But this new EO takes it one step further by explicitly halting the enforcement of US anti-corruption law. www.ft.com/content/f880...
