Forget about Trump’s tariffs against the EU. What terrifies Brussels are the tariffs he is threatening against China, which ripple effect ‘can come crashing down on us sooner than we’d like,’ said one EU diplomat. With Camille Gijs Giovanna Coi politico.eu/article/europe…

Important reporting by Tatsiana Ashurkevich in POLITICO: Lukashenka's regime weaponizes migration to sow chaos in the EU—costing lives & exploiting vulnerable people. This is hybrid warfare targeting democracy. Europe must stay united against this cruelty. politico.eu/article/alexan…
