The EU is hitting back hard against Trump's global tariffs on steel & aluminium which took effect this morning. 2 stages of retaliatory tariffs on €26 billion in EU exports to the US will enter force over next 2 months This is a much firmer EU response than in Trump's 1st term

Now this would be a dumb regulation. But I doubt it is, feels like someone's ridiculous interpretation. Implementation. All important, usually ignored.

Unless Mr Philp believes that naturalised British citizens should be called "people who are foreign", the correct stat is 17%. He has been misled by Professor Goodwin

I see Chris Philp is now repeating Matt Goodwin's deliberate lie. The correct figure is 17%, and most of those are long-standing residents (and in many cases will have British spouses/children).

Not only is this crass, it is highly significant. Radosław Sikorski is perhaps the most Atlanticist major politician in Europe. And this is how he is now being publicly treated by US/Musk. They do not want us to be their friends, they do not want us to be their allies.

If Andrew Neil couldn't see what millions of people could see clearly, based on the evidence of Trump's own words and deeds, why should he be taken seriously as a political commentator?

New piece in foreign policy. The US's postwar role as guarantor of Europe’s security is over. But Europe has an overlooked trump card: when it comes to manufacturing it blows the US out of the water, giving Europe the ability to rearm. Thread on Monday. foreignpolicy.com/2025/03/07/e...

Because it’s not made entirely clear by the article: the DHS doesn’t get to just ‘revoke’ your Green Card any more than it can just revoke your citizenship, even if its agents think it can. There remains a tedious detail called due process.

NEW: I helped Brian Krebs trace the background of one of Elon Musk's top loyalists, Branden Spikes, head of IT at X, who spent 2 mo at DOGE. Spikes and his ex-wife were involved with Russian diaspora websites and groups linked to pro-Kremlin KSORS players, Russian state media while he was at SpaceX.

I do not think people realize how comprehensive the Trump Administration is being in its attempts to help Putin kill Ukrainians. I have it on an excellent source that Ukrainian UAV operations are 15% less effective because of the US intel cut off.

I remember with Brexit the boosted rhetoric in 2016 was “all your stuff will be cheaper” and by 2022 they were like “eating turnips all the time will be good for the national character.” MAGA’s doing that now except over 6 weeks not 6 years.

Coming on top of the bullying of Zelensky, I think Vance's remarks today are going to be a pivotal moment in uniting British public opinion against Trump's US, across party & Brexit divides, & solidifying consensus for UK as a partner with EU for Ukraine. www.thesun.co.uk/news/politic... 1/2

Vergesst die Erzählung, dass die USA sich von Europa abwenden oder aus Europa zurückziehen. Das Gegenteil ist der Fall: Trump, Musk und Vance haben Europa als Hauptgegner identifiziert – nicht geopolitisch, sondern ideologisch. Sie führen einen Kulturkampf. Gegen uns. 🧵👇1/8
