Incoming new EU rules could add up to €124.2bn in additional compliance costs per year for businesses and public administration, according to an estimate by the the Danish presidency @eu2025dk.bsky.social, writes @paolatamma.bsky.social: www.ft.com/content/8508... #dkpol #competition #dkøko #eudk

what a humiliating way for don jr. to find out his dad sends birthday cards.

Noget kunne tyde på, at der måske er ved at opstå en lille forståelseskløft mellem Trump og Bruxelles om “handelsaftalen”… #eudk

Good news! Germany to equip Ukraine with additional US Patriot air defence batteries within two to three months while providing extra launchers in the coming days: on.ft.com/41jOZ1R #patriot #Ukraine

Holy shit this is real Soviet/N. Korean style stuff. After the dismal jobs report Trump is going to fire people who compile the data and replace them with hacks. The markets and American people will never be able to trust these numbers again.

The British trade deal wasn't what they said it was, the Vietnamese are still yet to confirm Trump's announcement, and the Japanese say they're not signing a binding agreement. The White House has released the text of ZERO (0) deals, and maybe it's all just social media posts all the way down.

Japanese officials said there was no written agreement with Washington — and no legally binding one would be drawn up — after Trump administration officials claimed Tokyo would back investments in the US 🤷‍♂️: www.ft.com/content/c118... #trade

Meeting the press! Minister for Economic Affairs @stephanielose.venstre.dk just held her first doorstep as the president of #ECOFIN. "I want to hit the ground running," said the minister, "and we therefore have an important agenda already from the first ECOFIN." #eu2025dk #dkpol

Yes… Hahaha… Yes!

This will be in textbooks. Ukraine secretly delivered FPV drones and wooden mobile cabins into Russia. The drones were hidden under the roofs of the cabins, which were later mounted on trucks. 1/

Dansk økonomi har et godt udgangspunkt i forhold til at modstå toldforhøjelser og andre forstyrrelser af den internationale økonomi. Det er vurderingen i Økonomisk Redegørelse, som økonomiminister @stephanielose.venstre.dk netop har offentliggjort: oem.dk/nyheder/nyhe... #dkpol #dkøko

Stilhed før stormen 📹 Kl. 11 giver økonomiminister @stephanielose.venstre.dk status på dansk økonomi, når hun præsenterer Økonomisk Redegørelse. #dkpol #dkøko

Romania, 88.01% of votes counted: Presidential election, second round today Dan (*-RE): 54.3% (+0.5) Simion (AUR-ECR): 45.6% (-0.6) +/- vs. 78.24% of votes counted ➤ europeelects.eu/romania

Germany has been on the back foot in Europe over the past few years. Chancellor Merz's visits to Paris and Warsaw today beg the question: will that now change? Here's @jpuglierin.bsky.social's and my (very) cautiously upbeat assessment: ecfr.eu/article/from...

The death of Pope Francis sets in motion a carefully orchestrated transition aimed at ensuring the stability and continuity of the Roman Catholic Church. Here’s what happens next. wapo.st/4isdiAK

Trump’s popular standing is eroding. His approval rating has fallen by 14 points since he entered office, @economist.com poll shows. Nearly one in five of Trump’s own voters say they disapprove of his handling of inflation and prices.

💥 Whopper scoop from @andybounds.bsky.social: Brussels is issuing burner phones & basic laptops to commissioners & senior officials travelling to the US for IMF/World Bank spring meetings next week to avoid risk of espionage — a measure traditionally reserved for China. www.ft.com/content/20d0...

Flere danske pensionskasser har sat nye investeringer i USA på pause, skriver FT: on.ft.com/4ihY4hj #dkpol #eudk

Tæt på 30 pct. fald i antallet af danskere, som rejser til USA. Og tendensen er klar for en række lande i Europa. Turismen, som står for 2,5 pct. af BNP i US, bløder – forståeligt nok.

If you opened a factory yesterday, you can close it now.

"We have $36 trillion of debt," says the President, confusing government debt with trade deficits.

So. Much. Winning. 🤡

Playing around with CBP airport processing data this morning to see how much air travel by non-US passengers is cratering.

Fantastic graphic from the WSJ. Trump just increased the price of a iPhone by nearly 60 percent. Obviously completely unsustainable so won’t be sustained. An American Liz Truss moment

71% of Brits favour UKG retaliation against Trump's tariffs, according to YouGov The longer a UK/US trade deal takes to agree and 10% tariffs remain, while the EU retaliates, the harder Starmer's US/EU balancing act becomes

unprecedented protests this morning on heard and macdonald islands, as the population rises up against trump imposition of 10% across the board tariffs.

For Americans who didn’t get the joy of living through the Truss/Kwarteng budget, this is the point where the government starts to call the stock market left-wing and/or woke.

Monstrously destructive, incoherent, ill-informed tariffs based on fabrications, imagined wrongs, discredited theories and ignorance of decades of evidence. And the real tragedy is that they will hurt working Americans more than anyone else.

Trump is imposing a 10% tariff on the Heard and McDonald Islands. The Heard and McDonald Islands are uninhabited.

Americans will pay $6 trillion for Trump's tariffs – the largest tax hike in US history 🙈 www.cnn.com/business/liv... #tariffs

Trump announces his tariffs, which are (somehow?) related to the trade barriers other countries are imposing on the U.S. But... THE NUMBERS HE'S PRESENTING BEAR NO RELATION TO REALITY. It would be absurd to call these reciprocal tariffs. They're grievances.

EU supposedly charges the EU 39%, US will charge them 20%. (The EU weighted average tariff is actually 2.7%).

Hval i fred 🐳

In a full-blown global trade war, where partners retaliate to match Trump tariffs, the US would experience the worst inflationary effects of any nation: on.ft.com/3XIIfZL #tariffs #trade #tradewar

🇫🇷‼️ Le pen suspended from elections for five years with immediate effect

The American imperialism directed towards Denmark and Canada is not just morally wrong. It is strategically disastrous. The US has nothing to gain from it, and much to lose. There is nothing that Americans cannot get from Denmark or Canada through alliance: snyder.substack.com/p/vance-in-g...

I knew I'd seen that precipitous decline before

🚨🚨Breaking: Sweden provisionally aims to raise defence spending to 3.5% of GDP by 2030, a bigger and faster ramp-up than previously planned as part of its biggest rearmament since the Cold War, Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson said today. www.reuters.com/world/europe...

Jeffrey Goldberg thinking he was being pranked and then realizing he was actually just in the war plans group chat is such a good microcosm of how it feels to be alive right now, everything seems fake until you realize it’s actually real and incredibly stupid
