🚨 New study
Among Europeans, there is strong demand for a more united Europe that is able to act. However, only a few can imagine how this ambition can be turned into political action.
🔗 How? Read the study👇️ buff.ly/UyF9iXa
1/4 The UAE built its influence by becoming a global hub, connecting trade, finance, energy and technology across competing powers.
The war with Iran exposed the limits of that model: deep economic ties did not prevent UAE from becoming a target. 🧵

3/4 Europe has a direct stake in making this shift work.
It is a major destination for Emirati trade and a security partner with an interest in protecting the infrastructure linking the Gulf to Europe. The ongoing EU-UAE negotiations offer one route to deepen that cooperation.
4/4 @Cinzia_Bianco argues Europe should use that leverage in four ways:
- offer greater predictability
- build trusted interdependence through regulation
- help protect critical connectivity infrastructure
- set clearer limits where UAE networks contribute to instability

Mélenchon gaining momentum in French presidential polling while the centrist field remains fragmented and weak ⬇️
Le nouveau sondage, paru ce matin, est un nouveau tournant dans cette campagne présidentielle.
Jean-Luc Mélenchon est donné au second tour dans TOUTES les hypothèses.
Rappelons qu'il y a pile 5 ans, en septembre 2021, Harris Interactive sous-estimait Mélenchon de 9 points : estimé à 13%, il a fini à 22%.
Nous allons l'emporter.
The new prime minister, Andy Burnham, has set out a vision for widespread domestic improvements. But, to make this happen, he will also have to revamp Britain’s partnerships overseas, writes @AnthonyDworkin

The UAE has built outsized influence through a strategy of connectivity, turning itself into a hub that binds it to every great power, writes @Cinzia_Bianco

Britain is the custodian of a global order that no longer exists. Its international approach should now centre innovative cooperation and building strong coalitions with like-minded partners, writes @AnthonyDworkin. @ECFRPower

1/4 Europe may face growing US economic pressure beyond tariffs — in finance, energy and technology.
Our paper, co-authored by @AgatheDemarais, @TGehrke_ and @jitorreblanca, asks a practical question: what can Europeans actually do in response? 🧵

3/3 Europe also does not always need to persuade Washington directly. Financial markets, energy companies and big tech can carry signals that matter in the US, turning European leverage into pressure that American decision-makers may find harder to ignore.
1/1 Marine Le Pen is running for the French presidency in 2027.
For Europe, that means preparing for the possibility of a France very different from the one it knows today, write @celiabelin, @JeremyCliffe, @CamilleLons and Constance Victore. A 🧵

3/3 Le Pen is also likely to govern politically in tandem with RN leader Jordan Bardella.
Their relationship is close, but their outlooks are not identical. Those differences could matter for how an RN-led France approaches both domestic politics and its European partners.
