Worth a read on what’s happening in the US and how it affects the security of Europe. 👇

Trump has not ended 7 foreign wars - but he may start a domestic one

Exactly 40 years ago this week, ministers from Belgium, Germany, Luxembourg, France and the Netherlands signed pledges to gradually remove checks on their common borders. Their commitment would become the cornerstone of the world’s largest free-travel area: The Schengen zone.

Britain and the EU have agreed a fresh Brexit deal that will see Gibraltar open its borders with Spain, abolish passport controls with the EU, and join the EU customs union.
