In 2019, the E3 established the INSTEX mechanisms to facilitate trade with Iran after US prez Donald Trump's unilateral withdrawal from the nuclear deal. It didn't work. "Europe lacks leverage precisely because it failed to defend its trade in the face of US sanctions."

As the E3 pursues snapback, it's worth noting that Europe's annual trade with Iran totals just €4.5bn, one-fifth the level in 2017. Europe lacks leverage precisely because it failed to defend its trade in the face of US sanctions. Trump already did snapback 7 years ago!

Ursula von der Leyen announces that the EU and Indonesia have reached an agreement in principle for a free-trade deal after almost 10 years of talks. “This agreement comes at the right time,” she says. “In times of global challenges, partners must strengthen their ties.”

European #NATO allies still haven’t been briefed on the upcoming US posture review. They are hoping for “no surprises” & a coordinated approach to any troop withdrawals as they’re working to fill the gaps in their defence. My take for post-summit analysis by @alex_owski @Euractiv

A lot cheaper gift for President Trump than an Airbus A350 or A380 too. And maybe just as effective. German frugality at its best.

Brilliant diplomacy from Chancellor Merz. He brought the official German birth certificate of Trump’s grandfather and had it translated. Good frame, too.

That’s one impressive way of showing big scale population shifts over a 200 year period. Remember that the future isn’t set in stone. Birthrates in Asia and Africa might fall faster than expected. Huge growth still imminent.

One thing worth pointing out: Trump is doing his best to hand the Europeans to Beijing on a plate. That China is unwilling to give even an inch in negotiations with Brussels, even as it puts on the charm with European capitals, is telling on how it views Europe.
