- Reposted by Alberto RizziThe EU-India FTA deal is hot on the heels of Mercosur. Instead of decrying the end of a world order from which they benefitted, Europeans are finally embracing their trade strengths, writes @alberto-rizzi.bsky.social 👇Read the full commentary in our website. bit.ly/4tayhi4
- Reposted by Alberto RizziEU decided to bring up Anti-Coercion Instrument, a 'trade bazooka', against Trump. What does the EU's Anti-Coercion Instrument provide? With their cards in hands, the EU should create an economic deterrence infrastructure and strengthen its existing anti-coercion instrument. bit.ly/4sWevqr

- I spoke yesterday with @deutschewellerss.newsmast.social.ap.brid.gy about Zelenskyy's visit to Greece: more gas supplies are crucial to compensate for Ukraine's lower production due to attacks by Russia. And defending Ukrainian infrastructure is equally important. www.youtube.com/watch?v=mAnh...

- My take on incoming EU steel tariffs in this Deutsche Welle piece: the move aims at obtaining concessions form the US, most likely a tariff-free quota for European producers, but at the cost of worsening trade relations with other suppliers to the bloc www.dw.com/en/eu-seeks-...

- In Brazil, if you plot a coup to subvert the result of democratic elections, you end up in jail. In the US, if you actually execute one, you end up in the White House. www.ft.com/content/f07c...

- This is a real photograph of Washington, DC this week, where the United States president has ordered military occupation in peacetime, and ordered the display of colossal portraits of himself. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...
- My take on the US-EU trade deal in this @ecfr.eu policy alert: - EU preferred an unequal deal rather than retaliating to maybe get a better one - Some economic silver linings don't cancel the political capitulation - EU needs credible retribution to prevent further US demands ecfr.eu/article/scot...

- My views of a no deal scenario in EU-US trade negotiations for @cnbc.com - ACI does allows for flexibility in the response - If no deal, EU would want swift and substantial retaliation - ACI likely to be kept in reserve after retaliatory EU tariffs come into force www.cnbc.com/2025/07/25/w...

- MY @france24.com interview on Meloni's new visa scheme for non-EU migrants: Italy's awful demographics require large inflows of foreign workers to keep the economy running, even if this runs counter to the anti-migration agenda on which the government got elected. www.france24.com/en/tv-shows/...

- It was Iraq, who started also the Iran-Iraq War (unprovoked), that started the Tanker War during that conflict. Iran started retaliating only years after the first Iraqi attacks.
- Increase the median age to 50 and you have the average think-tank/international politics panel in Italy
- Here are some comments of mine in this piece by @cnbc.com about the state of EU-US trade negotiations: taxation and big tech regulation are considered domestic issues by Europe. While a small deal might be possible, a broad and comprehensive one seems out of reach. www.cnbc.com/2025/06/18/t...
- My debut on "World in 30 minutes", talking with Mark Leonard about demographics and how global trends will shape Europe's place in the world 👇🏻
- Putin's Russia is the closest thing to Third Reich Europe has ever seen since WWII. On the 81st anniversary of the D-Day, it's even worth remembering those that didn't call for a quick and unjust peace or bowed to the tyrant but instead gave all they had and more to liberate Europe! #dday #dday81
- DEMOGRAPHICS IS DESTINY. OR NOT? 🧵 The greatest overlooked challenge for Europe's future is demographics. In my @ecfr.eu work I have analyzed the effect of the demographic transition for the continent's role in global geoeconomics and how should Europe respond 1/ ecfr.eu/publication/...
- The Trump-Musk fallout is something worth watching with pop-corns. If only they weren't the US President and the world's richest man arguing like elementary school kids.

- Excluding dairy might speed up the EU-India deal, yet to make it economically meaningful beyond its political value, India has to open up for real in machinery, car part, and industrial goods. As well as a CBAM arrangements. From @financialtimes.com www.ft.com/content/51ce...
