Trump: I have informed President Xi, of China, that the United States will allow NVIDIA to ship its H200 products to approved customers in China, and other Countries, under conditions that allow for continued strong National Security. President Xi responded positively! $25% will

Just in: Donald Trump has decided to let Nvidia export its advanced H200 chip to China. The US president also said other chipmakers would be allowed to export advanced semiconductors. https://t.co/hIsjHMF7AN

Ukraine continues to face Russia’s aggression with exceptional courage. It can count on our support and on our commitment for a just and lasting peace. Our latest European and American sanctions are weakening the Russian economy: we must keep up this effort

Good to see the UK, France, and Germany bolster Ukraine, while Trump’s sidles to Russia and undermines Ukraine. Implicitly, the Europeans seem to be reconciling with the reality that pandering to Trump was futile and are likely to start to disengage from the U.S.
An unusually frank public position from Germany’s Merz in London here: “frankly sceptical” about some elements of US plans.

Today’s Russian papers are loving the new US national security strategy. One Russian paper on implications for Europe: “Trump isn’t their Daddy any more.” Kremlin spokesman comments: “The adjustments in the updated strategy correspond in many ways to our vision” #ReadingRussia

Ukraine’s fate is Europe’s fate. We’re here to see how we can step up our efforts. No one should have any doubt: our support will not falter.

Allies must act as allies. We must respect each other's sovereignty. Europeans do not share the same vision as the Americans on various issues. This is natural. What we cannot accept is the threat of interference in Europe’s democratic life.

Our history has taught us that there is no freedom of speech without freedom of information. And freedom of information exists where there is respect for pluralism. There will be no freedom of speech if citizens' freedom of information is sacrificed to defend some tech

What I see is that there are so many people trying to undermine Europe. Why? Because the EU is strong. And we are working to make it even stronger. We have taken bold steps to build the Europe of defence and enhance our strategic autonomy. We have stood by Ukraine’s side, as

Where did you see that you need a diplomatic passport to speak freely in Europe ? Which country ranks between Gabon and Sierra Leone in terms of freedom of the press ? Which administration bans journalists from presidential briefings ? Oh wait …
I’m traveling in Europe on a diplomatic passport, so I thought I’d take this opportunity to say a few things ordinary Europeans (and Brits) can’t.

President Zelensky has no authority to pardon anyone.
Trump has issued over 2,000 pardons and commutations this year, letting a string of drug dealers, corrupt politicians, and MAGA-friendly businessmen off the hook in a gross abuse of the Constitution. Commentary: https://t.co/gRB9O9k5Rg

Très honoré que le vice-président des Etats-Unis @JDVance cite @RSF_inter, même si c’est pour nous dénigrer et rejeter notre index qui place les USA à la 57e place mondiale pour la liberté de la presse, pas assez haut pour donner des leçons à la planète…
