1/4 Europe may face growing US economic pressure beyond tariffs — in finance, energy and technology. Our paper, co-authored by @AgatheDemarais, @TGehrke_ and @jitorreblanca, asks a practical question: what can Europeans actually do in response? 🧵 buff.ly/EBCrvSv

The US under Trump will seek new ways to coerce Europe economically. Here is how Europeans can resist the pressure and emerge stronger for it.

3/3 Europe also does not always need to persuade Washington directly. Financial markets, energy companies and big tech can carry signals that matter in the US, turning European leverage into pressure that American decision-makers may find harder to ignore.

4/4 The bigger goal is not just to get through the next confrontation. Europe should use moments of coercion to build lasting economic leverage — stronger regulation, greater technological sovereignty and tools it can use well beyond the current crisis.

1/1 Marine Le Pen is running for the French presidency in 2027. For Europe, that means preparing for the possibility of a France very different from the one it knows today, write @celiabelin, @JeremyCliffe, @CamilleLons and Constance Victore. A 🧵 buff.ly/TYm5Gd0

3/3 Le Pen is also likely to govern politically in tandem with RN leader Jordan Bardella. Their relationship is close, but their outlooks are not identical. Those differences could matter for how an RN-led France approaches both domestic politics and its European partners.

4/4 EU leaders should therefore avoid assuming that a Le Pen presidency would automatically produce a unified European far right. But they should also not wait. The paper argues that governments in Europe should start preparing for what an RN led France could mean for the EU.

Trade-wary populists ought to be cheering. For now they are silent, careful not to suggest the EU is doing anything right. Soon they may have little choice but to show their hand, says @oertel_janka in @TheEconomist buff.ly/8VMkzjI

An ideal target gets a free pass from the demagogues

But to succeed, “associate EU membership” must be narrow but deep. Narrow in that it stops short of single market access or freedom of movement; deep in that it can provide the basis for a unique alliance on security, writes Anand Sundar buff.ly/Sa4eJkA

Many Europeans agree on the challenges facing the continent. The harder question is whether Europe's political system is equipped to respond to them effectively. Can Europe find a way to act more decisively without sacrificing the unity that makes collective action possible? 🔗

Canada’s enthusiasm for closer EU ties is real, and so is the EU’s need for allies beyond America.
