🗞️ HOT OFF THE PRESS 🗞️ 🤓 UKICE has put together some key insights into what to expect from the UK-EU Summit on Monday, as well as a list of useful reports, explainers and analysis Take a look here 👇 ukandeu.ac.uk/reports/what...

The EU-UK pre-summit negotiations are getting spicy ahead of Monday summit — EU member states digging in on mobility and fish, UK trying (and failing) to lobby capitals over Commisson’s head. Some trenchant briefings to me @andybounds.bsky.social and @georgewparker.bsky.social on.ft.com/4jVUMSF

Washington’s nuclear commitments to Europe are no longer ironclad. Can Britain and France offer a credible alternative?

European Council conclusions on European defence, 6 March 2025 #EUCO www.consilium.europa.eu/en/press/pre...

Macron announced stronger defence, ongoing support for Ukraine, and action against Russian threats. He urged European unity, military investment, and economic independence to secure lasting peace. Read the full speech in English here: www.frenchdispatch.eu/p/en-macrons...

🇫🇷 President Macron has just addressed the nation. It was a good, clear-eyed & powerful speech. Quick summary (1/5):

The “price” and “prize” of being spared tariffs from the US is a bilateral trade deal, on terms which are unlikely to be favorable for the UK, and will surely make any realignment with the EU impossible. This presents Starmer with an incredibly tough choice.

Starmer’s reset of the UK-EU relationship is of fundamental importance for both sides. The stagnant British economy needs a better trade deal than that bequeathed by Johnson’s government, writes Charles Grant in the @centreeuropeanref.bsky.social 2024 annual report. Read here: buff.ly/413f9oN

‼️Confirmed: Macron will hold a crisis meeting tomorrow afternoon in Paris with the leaders of Germany, U.K., Italy, Poland, Spain, Netherlands and Denmark as well as Costa, von der Layen and Rutte, to discuss the future of security in Europe

With Macron calling an intergovernmental summit in Paris tomorrow, many wonder what is best institutional venue to discuss Europe's response to biggest security crisis since 1945. Here are 8 reasons why intergovernmental route is crucial now instead of relying on 🇪🇺 & Brussels institutions. 🧵👇 1/10

No lasting peace in Ukraine without European role in talks, leaders say www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

“For too long, we did not act. Georgia in 2008. Crimea in 2014. And many did not want to believe he would launch all-out war on Ukraine in February 2022. How many more wake-up calls do we need?” Every European citizen should read this speech by NATO SecGen Rutte. www.nato.int/cps/en/natoh...
