Europe needs political leadership
This American “peace plan” calls on us Europeans to abandon the idea that the United States will always be our ally and to equip ourselves with political leadership that is not limited to the Union.

Trumpism creates its own antidote
Canadians are seeking allies, against Trump of course. Europeans are doing the same, which is why parliamentarians from the European Union, Canada and the United Kingdom met last Friday in Toronto to lay the foundations for an international movement to defend democracy.

Donald Trump short of allies
With his back against the wall, he has regained his memory. Confronted with China, which forced him to back down on tariffs by threatening to ban exports of rare earth elements to the United States, Donald Trump suddenly remembered that he had allies who were once referred to as “Western.”

Trump backtracking
America will soon need friends to stand up to China. Donald Trump is learning to understand that Europe, which he detests, is simply indispensable.

I have never heard Americans place their hopes in Europe before
When a senior official in the new American diplomatic service explained to me in his Washington office that the danger to European democracies came not from what I had called “Russian autocracy”, but from the democracies themselves — their censorship, the annulment of the Romanian elections, and the repression of their opponents — I first thought I was having a…

A new power, Europe, has won its first battle against Donald Trump

The Western mote and the Russian beam
Is he making the same mistake he made three years ago? In 2022, Vladimir Putin only invaded Ukraine after he had convinced himself that neither the United States nor the European Union would do anything to thwart his plans.

Merci, Musk
Thank you to this drug-addicted, megalomaniac brute, thank you to the man who thought he could reduce the US deficit by relying on a bunch of prepubescent imbeciles, thank you to the embodiment of the power of money, yes, thank you to this deeply detestable man, because thanks to him, Trump is finally seen for what he is: a grotesque,…

Address by a Member of the European Parliament to the Republican Members of Congress
I know it is not easy. By distancing yourself from your party, you risk incurring its wrath. With a man as resentful as Donald Trump, it is not just a risk, it is a certainty. But you no longer have a choice.

Ukraine: what can we expect from Trump’s change of heart in the Vatican?
We cannot rule out the possibility that the US president will once again give the Ukrainians the military means to impose a compromise that is not a surrender. But his reasons for wanting to reach an agreement with Putin run extremely deep.
