Watch: EU chief Ursula von der Leyen witnesses UPI payment system for first time in India, says 'bravo'
Friday, 28 February 2025 European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen experienced India's advanced UPI digital payments system during her visit. She was impressed by its efficiency. PM Modi had earlier highlighted UPI's significance by comparing daily transactions in India to the EU's population. The visit underscored strengthening India-EU ties.
The European Union is exploring a security and defence partnership with India, EU chief Ursula von der Leyen says before meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi. The pact would work to counter common threats, including "cross-border terrorism, maritime security threats" as well as...
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen is facing intense criticism after allegedly caving to Donald Trump’s aggressive trade demands out of fear that the U.S. might slash military support to Ukraine or withdraw troops from Europe. According to the Sunday Times, von der Leyen accepted a harsh 15% tariff on most EU exports during a visit to Trump’s golf course in Scotland—scrapping a counter-tariff plan her officials had prepared.
Brussels also pledged $600 billion in U.S. investments and $750 billion in American energy purchases. Leaders like Macron and Orban slammed the deal, with the latter claiming Trump “ate her for breakfast.” Backlash is growing in the EU, where von der Leyen faces rebellion over military spending, vaccine scandals, and dwindling parliamentary support. With Trump’s “posture review” looming, the EU’s strategic future hangs in the balance. Critics say this may be von der Leyen’s final chance to recover politically.

Mid-air panic struck an EasyJet flight from London Luton to Glasgow when a man screamed, “I’m going to bomb the plane,” triggering alarm among passengers. He was also heard yelling, “Death to America, death to Trump,” and “Allahu Akbar.” The shocking outburst was captured on video, now viral on social media. A male passenger quickly subdued the suspect before police arrested the 41-year-old upon landing in Glasgow.
He remains in custody as counter-terrorism units examine the footage. Scotland Police confirmed investigations are ongoing. The airline, however, maintained that the safety of the passengers and flight was never compromised. Interestingly, the incident occurred just as former U.S. President Donald Trump was in Scotland finalizing a major trade deal with EU chief Ursula von der Leyen. The timing and nature of the incident have raised security concerns as authorities dig deeper into the suspect’s motivations and background.

Just days before Donald Trump’s planned high-stakes meeting with Vladimir Putin, European allies have thrown a wrench into his peace plan. Leaders of the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Finland, and the EU issued a joint statement insisting that any talks with Russia must involve Ukraine’s leadership. President Zelensky has rejected Trump’s suggestion of possible territorial swaps, calling any deal made without Ukraine “dead decisions.” With Putin still refusing direct talks with Kyiv, tensions rise as the White House faces backlash over reports of concessions on Crimea and Donbas.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is urgently rallying European leaders ahead of Donald Trump’s high-stakes meeting with Vladimir Putin. Speaking with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, French President Emmanuel Macron, and Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, Zelensky warned of “the danger of Russia’s plan” to force Ukraine into discussing the “impossible” — territorial exchanges that would favor Moscow’s future war ambitions.
While Trump is expected to sit down with Putin soon, Zelensky is pushing for maximum coordination with the UK, US, EU, and other allies to secure a “truly lasting peace” and avoid any deal that simply reconfigures the conflict. He also emphasized Ukraine’s progress toward EU membership, warning that Russia has not shifted its stance on ending the war and continues to fuel the fighting.
