In a new ENSURED report, @claraweinhardt.bsky.social, Michal Parizek & Jayati Srivastava explore these agendas. Full report 👇 (🧵)

- More than 20% of EU exports to the US in 2024 concerned medicinal and pharmaceutical products and medicaments 👇 If those are subject to tariffs (Trump said "no", VDL said "yes"), the American healthcare system will be paying the bill

- Wrote a brief paper "Second Attempt at America First: Donald Trump and the Survival of International Organizations" Some reflections on the first six months and what we generally know from the academic literature on the crisis of multilateralism www.researchgate.net/publication/...
- Commission proposed MFF budget looks reasonable at first glance More evolution than revolution with competitiveness and defence receiving (rightly) substantially more money Devil is in the detail and MS won't be happy with increase to 1.26% GNI (despite many new challenges) and new own resources
- Reposted by Hylke DijkstraToday we present the EU budget for 2028-2034. It's a budget for a new era, that matches Europe’s ambition. That addresses Europe’s challenges. That strengthens our independence.

- Haha. Brussels politicians fail to form a government more than 12 months after the local elections (nevermind that BXL is a medium-sized city and not a country) Ran out of money and now blackmailing Ursula von der Leyen to pay for the Schuman Roundabout renovations www.bruzz.be/actua/steden...

- Let's hope that NATO leaders will agree to 3.5% defence spending in The Hague... because I have just added a sentence about this new target in the NATO chapter while correcting the proofs

- Reposted by Hylke DijkstraThe @ec.europa.eu fully supports the ICC and its officials. The ICC holds perpetrators of the world’s gravest crimes to account and gives victims a voice. It must be free to act without pressure. We will always stand for global justice and the respect of international law.

- Just happened. Wilders pulled the plug on Dutch govt Elections very likely (though probably not until November; care-taker govt until then)
- Geert Wilders may pull the plug out of Dutch coalition government today (over asylum) Massive gamble. He created this government and his own minister for asylum has spectacularly failed to do anything in the last 12 months In case of elections, everyone will come after him for failing to deliver
