Tenker det er greit å retta litt på deg, Dag-Inge Ulstein: Carl Baudenbacher har aldri vore president i EØS-tilsynet ESA. Og verken tidligere eller nåværende ESA presidenter har ytra tilsvarende. Baudenbacher har derimot leia EFTA-domstolen #debatten

The Trump administration seems poised to weaken Europe through a combination of coercion and predatory policies, including arm-twisting on trade, writes @aranchagonzalez.bsky.social. Now, the European Union is “preparing to take its future into its own hands.”

Jesus died for our sins, but He may have to come back a couple of more times to cover Trump’s.

It is only Tuesday. www.france24.com/en/video/202...

It is only Monday. Trump says 'not looking' at pause in tariffs www.rte.ie/news/us/2025...

Enlightening BBC article on impact of Trump tarrifs on African countries and misguided they are www-bbc-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/www.bbc....

Good explainer by @financialtimes.com on Trump tariffs and how much countries will actually pay and why www.ft.com/content/78c4...

My Trade Secrets response to the tariffs. Bad news: these tariffs cd be worse than the 1930s & the Republicans are inflicting their deep pathology on the world. Good news: this is as yet a US trade war, not a world trade war. Others can resist following Trump's crazy road. First 300 clicks free.

This. Plus the idea that richer countries help the poorest grow. The tariffs on exports from least-developed countries such as Cambodia and Laos are among the highest. It's not just callous. It encourages migration.

So Jan Mayen is hit with 10% tariffs. The island has a crew of 18 people, mostly researchers exporting nothing to nowhere. The Heard and McDonald islands are uninhabited… But I do feel the pain of the 1,500 Tokelau population.

So many bad news coming out of the rose garden. A geriatric utterly out of control.

Jeg tenker det er en del på ytterfløyene som nå ser en del korthus av argumenter falle sammen www.aftenposten.no/verden/i/0V7...

Very much enjoyed listening to former boss @aranchagonzalez.bsky.social discussing with @gideonrachman.bsky.social the way forward for Europe in a turbulent world 🚀 🧱 Key message: sticking together would help the continent not only survive, but also thrive 🇪🇺 ⬇️⬇️⬇️ www.ft.com/content/ebdb...

Hyggelig å prate ESA og EØS med representanter fra @arbeiderpartiet.bsky.social til Rogaland fylkesting

What a big surprise! UK food and drink exports to the EU down 34% since Brexit www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Funny....All of a sudden, no one's performing arbitrary sex-change operations on unexpecting grade-schoolers anymore.

FACT Productivity of 🇺🇸 steel plummeted after Trump 2018 tariffs Shielding domestic industries from foreign competition means 📌 less productivity 📌 less incentives for domestic firms to invest in efficiency improvements 📌 less opportunities for technological advance

I doubt this is in line with what the majority of Dutch would want

Why would anyone take advice from Flakey Peter? Especially on trade-related issues www.cnn.com/2025/03/11/u...

Norway increases its support to Ukraine to 7.25 billion euro for 2025, more than doubling its initially planned contribution, and confirming Norway’s firm stance together with European allies in support of Ukraine 🇳🇴🇺🇦🇺🇦🇪🇺

The usual BS from the MAGA fanboys over at Politico - how is it “huge disunity” if 26 member states agree and a single, small, marginal one dissents?

That’s a lot of federal money blown up www.cnn.com/science/live...

This BBC graphic is a good way to show why reciprocal 25% tariffs will cause prices on some goods to go up far more than 25%. A piston used in a car engine made in Michigan will cross the U.S. border twice, and will be taxed 25% each time. Some products cross the U.S. border even more than that.

Canadian PM Justin Trudeau: "Today, the United States launched a trade war against Canada - their closest partner and ally, their closest friend. At the same time, they're talking about working positively with Russia, appeasing Vladimir Putin - a lying murderous dictator. Make that makes sense."

"We’re witnessing the self-sabotage of the United States" from @davidfrum.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦 !

Now let’s get serious on supporting our 🇺🇦heroes: ➡️ more weapons, max defense, max deterrence ➡️ more sanctions, max pressure on russia’s weak economy ➡️ no appeasement, no negotiations without Ukraine ➡️ fast track to peace: russia get out & go home #Ukraine #freedom #democracy #ruleoflaw

Clearly, someone has started passing time playing solitaire.

What if the announced EU deregulation agenda will do more harm than good? Here’s a few illustrations of what’s wrong with the emerging EU efforts at cutting red tape as epitomized by the omnibus. My latest www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/d...

These findings seem to resonate more than well. In a world of skewed algorithms, unlimited disinformation and hostile influence operations, we need better understanding of these phenomena. More #transparency #openness #accountability www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

I går hadde vi flott besøk av LOs inntektspolitiske utvalg. Gruppen møtte med ESA president Arne Røksund for å diskutere EØS-avtalens handlingsrom og muligheter. Takk for besøket og for gode diskusjoner 🤝

Det er svært fristende å skrive en norsk kronikk som kritiserer regjeringens strømstøtte. Men så kom jeg på at jeg har gjort det allerede... www.dn.no/fredagskroni...

Very much enjoyed listening to @drodrik.bsky.social in conversation with @martinsandbu.ft.com on why tit-for-tat retaliations against Trump’s tariffs would only be magnifying irrationalism and inflict self-injury open.spotify.com/episode/7Iry...
