France's Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot: The only way to carry weight in the world we have entered, faced with China and the U.S., is Europe. Europe is our power amplifier. If we do not build partnerships and military cooperation with our European partners, we will return to a situation in which we become the vassals of China and the U.S.

The behaviour of the Trump administration in Europe has been summed up in one quote from a Wall Street Journal article. My take: davekeating.substack.com/p/w…

104,3 millones de dólares fluyeron desde EE. UU. a Europa para financiar a ultras antigénero y antiaborto. No es una batalla cultural. Es una estrategia para manipular a Europa. Debemos proteger nuestra democracia frente a las injerencias extranjeras. lavanguardia.com/politica/20…

Video shows Kimberly Guilfoyle, US ambassador to Greece and former fiancee of Trump Jr. meeting privately with the leaders of Romania's Social Democratic Party on March 31st, in a Bucharest hotel. Just 6 Days later, the Social Democrats allied with the pro-Russian extremists from AUR and filled the motion that collapsed the Romanian government led by PM Bolojan, which strongly opposed purchasing US gas at above market prices. In a WSJ article yesterday, sources present at a meeting between a Greek minister and Guilfoyle stated she bragged about having collapsed the RO government for its refusal to buy US gas, warning the US can do the same in Greece.

Meta bloquea la cuenta de la campaña de @LulaOficial en la recta final electoral. Gravísima interferencia de la plataforma digital en una elección crucial. Europa debe actuar. Es intolerable que las Big Tech tengan el poder de condicionar democracias. elespectador.com/mundo/ameri…

US Ambassador to China David Perdue says in their recent meeting Trump asked President Xi if China wanted to buy weapons systems from the US.

Baffling thing for the WH deputy chief of staff to post when the country is furious about high gas prices and at out of touch elites

We have not seen a caravan headed to the U.S. southern border in several years, why now? Oh yeah, there is an election coming and the GOP needs to scare you into voting because nothing else is working.

Pete Hegseth delivers thinly-veiled campaign message to US service members, ordering them to vote in the midterms to overwhelm blue cities like Milwaukee and Detroit: “Keep our nation the land of the free!”

How deeply shaming for America and the world that America has so completely squandered its moral authority

It's unfortunate that in Europe the only politicians we have with bold vision are either aspiring leaders or people in ceremonial positions. Our current heads of government have no plan, and they run from treaty reform like it's the boogeyman.

Kimberly Guilfoyle, the U.S. ambassador to Greece, has faced scrutiny over remarks she allegedly made during a private dinner in Athens in March 2026. The discussion at the dinner, attended by Greek and U.S. officials, turned to the collapse of the Romanian government. A person who attended the dinner and others briefed on the exchange said Guilfoyle remarked: “We can do that to any country we want. We can do that here.” The comment reportedly led to a tense exchange with Greece’s energy minister Stavros Papastavrou, who responded that the U.S. could not replace Greece’s government, which was elected by voters.

Half of EU countries have launched an “Alliance for the Reduction of the Bureaucratic Burden”, with calls for a one-year pause on EU lawmaking. A panicked & counter-productive move from governments that do not have real ideas for fixing Europe's problems. davekeating.substack.com/p/w…

My latest in @TheAtlantic The United States now pays more to borrow - not only than Germany or France - but than Greece or Estonia. Why? Trump. theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0…

Karoline Leavitt on Keir Starmer: We were in the UK, enjoying lunch with Keir Starmer, when Trump suddenly started ripping into him over his policies. Trump said: “Your policies here are so stupid. You need to close your borders. You need to deport these people you have in your country. I know your people. They hate what you’re doing.” Starmer was just sitting there. This was in Starmer’s own house, in his own country. We’re not even at the White House. We’re not even on our own territory. Of course, I found it entertaining.

Trump: "I'm rejecting their deal. They want to make a deal where they open the strait immediately ... we're winning tremendously. We have total control of the Hormuz Strait ... that deal would not be acceptable. They want to immediately open the Hormuz Strait."

Mark Carney says he has considered possibility of US military action against Canada bbc.in/4ru8gtr

🚫 No Commissioner @KubiliusA, @PalantirTech is not a great company. We need a tech industry which adheres to basic human rights, privacy and fundamental rights standards. Let's not let @peterthiel and his #MAGA friends more into Europe, a Europe they wish to destroy.
