⚡️ Update: Trump has 'his own vision' on resolving the war, different from Ukraine's perspective, Zelensky says.
President Volodymyr Zelensky reiterated that Ukraine is not considering the possibility of ceding territory to Russia.

9/🧵 The Belgians have been getting pressure from the U.S. to not release the Russian Central Bank assets for Ukraine, because the Trump administration wants all that money to go back to Russia, while taking their cut – which is just jaw dropping – Interview link in comments.

Been saying this for years, belt and road is going to provide economies of scale to the Chinese automakers that we’ve literally not comprehended. You think U.S./EU automakers are in trouble now, just wait a couple years!
China's massive surge in auto exports isn't about advanced economies (blue). It's primarily about emerging and frontier markets (red). This is where the battle for dominance in global autos is now being fought and where auto producers in Europe and Japan have the most to lose...

This. Europeans know they need the EU and trust it because it is actually highly functioning.
The American business complaint is that it passes laws! It can be hard for it to do big new things that require unanimity. But where it has authority/power, it does stuff!

This shitshow has to stop. Europe's security, our lives and freedoms, are being vetoed by corrupt kleptocrats. We just cannot accept this anymore. We are taken hostage, we lack control over our destiny.
Hungary formally ruled out issuing eurobonds to support Ukraine on Friday, a move that robs the EU of a potential Plan B should it fail to find a way to use frozen Russian state assets to finance a €165 billion loan to Kyiv.
Hungary shoots down eurobonds as alternative to EU’s Russian asset plan
