Trump has now chosen a side in the war between Europe and Putin. It will be interesting to see which side the Americans choose.

Friedrich Merz has not really managed to take the leadership of either Germany or the EU. Maybe that’s also one of the reasons things are going so poorly in the polls?

EU visits Greenland and offers them unconditional support.

Trump:

The Russians think it’s great that AfD has won the election in Germany #dkpol #eupol

It has been a year since EFTA I was signed, and yet 3 million Epstein files are still being withheld. Of course, ALL Epstein files must be released. No American politician should disagree with that.

Happy election day, Iceland. You are very welcome in the EU if you choose to join.

Sad that Dolly Parton has passed away. A country singer with her heart in the right place. Thank you for your many songs, which will undoubtedly live on.

Here were some of the unreasonable demands the US made to reach a trade agreement with Canada. I completely understand why Canada said no. Now American consumers will have to pay for higher tariffs on goods.

What made Canada reject a trade deal with Trump? According to Mark Carney, the US demanded, among other things, restrictions on which other countries Canada could enter into trade agreements with, and they also interfered with Canada's protection of the French language and culture.

The US national debt has exploded and interest rates are sky-high. In fact, the US now spends more on paying interest than on defense. It certainly doesn't look like Trump has managed to get the US economy under control.

Canada refused to finalize the trade agreement with the US because the US introduced unreasonable terms at the last minute, says Mark Carney. As a result, the trade war between Canada and the US is now flaring up again.

Do the U.S. know what they are doing? U.S. debt crosses $40 trillion. It increased $11.6 trillion during Trumps two-year term and $8.4 trillion during Bidens four-year term

For the first time in many years, Americans now prefer the Democrats over the Republicans to handle the economy. Trump's approval rating also continues to fall. The midterm elections are going to be interesting.

Why is there constant talk these years about whether territories belong to countries? First whether Greenland is part of the Kingdom of Denmark, and now whether Ceuta is part of Spain. Stop it – Ceuta is part of Spain, and an attack by migrants does not change that.

So who could have an interest in dividing the EU with an invasion of immigrants?Putin? Trump? Netanyahu? Morocco? Others?

It doesn't seem like Israel agrees with the Hamas agreement from Trump's "peace council", even though they themselves are members of it.

Americans who voted for Trump so that the US wouldn't start new wars, and for a better economy, must be disappointed.

The Islamic State is a major threat to Europe. According to the German newspaper Bild, the police have found a video on Abdul Ballout's mobile phone in which he pledges allegiance to the Islamic State. Last year, he also attempted to travel to Syria to join the Islamic State.

Ukraine has detected that Russian satellites are monitoring American bases in the Middle East, and that the satellite images are showing up in Iran. Trump's reaction: he'll ask Putin about it.

The perpetrator who drove into a crowd in Berlin has now been killed, and turns out to have ties to the Islamic State. Good police work that he was found so quickly.

Probably not everyone was laughing when Trump made a joke about running for president again in 2028. Fortunately, the US Constitution prevents him from being elected again, and surely the US must also be able to find some younger presidential candidates?

Once again, Trump is threatening the EU with tariffs because they fined Google for not complying with EU legislation. It will be expensive to be an American when they have to pay all those tariffs to buy goods from abroad.

Measles infections in the US reach the highest level in 35 years. That's what happens when you appoint an anti-vaxxer as Health Secretary.

So now Trump is imposing a 50% tariff on Canadian goods because he's mad that Canadians aren't buying American alcohol?
