EU Threatens Trump With Trade War After New Metal Tariffs | France Vows No Hesitation In Retaliation
The European Union is gearing up for a fierce trade battle after former U.S. President Donald Trump announced a sweeping 25% tariff on all steel and aluminum imports.
French Finance Minister Jean-Noël Barrot issued a stark warning, declaring that the EU will take reciprocal measures and will not hesitate to defend its economic interests.
Barrot recalled that when Trump imposed similar tariffs in 2018, the EU swiftly retaliated—targeting iconic American exports such as Harley-Davidson motorcycles, Levi’s jeans, and bourbon.
With tensions escalating, Brussels is now preparing countermeasures, potentially igniting a fresh transatlantic trade war.
Will the EU’s response deter Trump, or is the world on the brink of another economic showdown?
Stay tuned for updates on this high-stakes trade conflict.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has sparked political shockwaves by refusing to sign the EU’s joint statement backing Ukraine, issued just days before the upcoming Trump–Putin meeting in Alaska. The statement, agreed upon by other EU leaders, emphasized that international borders cannot be changed by force and that peace in Ukraine must include Ukraine’s voice. Orban claims the declaration was an attempt to set preconditions for a meeting to which the EU was not invited — further deepening tensions within Europe ahead of a critical geopolitical summit.

Ahead of the Trump–Putin summit in Alaska, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has firmly rejected any withdrawal from Donbas, warning it would allow Russia to launch a “third war” in Ukraine. He insists ceding territory would expose cities like Dnipro, Zaporizhzhia, and Kharkiv to occupation. While Putin is expected to push for Ukrainian withdrawal, Zelensky seeks EU security guarantees and ongoing Western support. U.S. officials say Trump aims to eventually broker direct talks, but no ceasefire proposal so far assures Ukraine’s long-term safety.

Zelensky is accused of planning a major provocation ahead of the highly anticipated Trump-Putin meeting in Alaska. According to Russian intelligence, Kyiv is preparing a large-scale strike using UAVs and missiles targeting residential areas — an attack that could be blamed on Moscow to derail peace efforts. With tensions already at boiling point, this alleged plot threatens to plunge the conflict into dangerous new territory just as diplomatic talks are set to begin.

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.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has issued a chilling warning: Ukraine’s potential EU membership could drag Hungary and the entire Eastern European region into war. Speaking bluntly, Orban said Ukraine’s entry would turn Hungary into a battlefield, risking the lives of young Hungarians and destabilizing regional peace. Despite Ukraine’s 2022 EU candidacy and Brussels pushing for 2030 accession, Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia have voiced serious opposition, citing security, financial, and political consequences.
Orban also slammed the EU's seven-year budget proposal, claiming it's designed to fund Ukraine’s membership and could devastate the bloc. Hungary has already blocked several EU military aid packages to Kyiv and insists on a ceasefire. A recent referendum showed 95% of Hungarians oppose Ukraine’s EU entry. With mounting pressure from Brussels, Orban’s words now echo across a fragile Europe—will Ukraine’s EU dream come at the cost of continental peace?

The EU-China summit in Beijing ended early as tensions soared over China's deepening alliance with Russia amid the Ukraine war. Despite efforts to focus on trade, climate change, and rare earth supply cooperation, the shadow of Moscow loomed large. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen warned that Beijing's refusal to distance itself from Russia is now the main stumbling block in EU-China relations.
Chinese President Xi Jinping countered with calls for multipolar cooperation and downplayed Western concerns. While there was some progress on rare earth mineral exports and climate action, trade imbalances and mutual investigations remain flashpoints. The summit reflected a growing unease in Europe over China’s geopolitical positioning and its reluctance to leverage influence over Russia. Despite efforts to build trust, Brussels made it clear: Beijing’s stance on Ukraine will define the future of their relations. Dialogue continues, but the cracks are widening as global fault lines deepen.

A damning UN report has placed Israel and Russia “on notice” over credible allegations of sexu@l violence by their armed forces in conflict zones. UN Secretary-General António Guterres warned that both nations could be formally added to the blacklist of violators in next year’s report if patterns persist. The findings cite abuses by Israeli security forces against Palestinian detainees, including forced nud!!ty and genital violence, while Russia faces similar scrutiny in Ukraine. In a historic first, Hamas has also been added to the list for sexu@l violence during the October 7 massacre and against hostages, following evidence from Project Dinah

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will testify three times a week starting November in his high-profile corruption trial, as the Jerusalem District Court pushes to speed proceedings that began in 2020. Facing bribery, fraud, and breach of trust charges in multiple cases, Netanyahu could face over a decade in prison if convicted. Supporters call the case a political witch hunt, while critics accuse him of exploiting national crises to delay justice. The court is even considering relocating hearings for better security as tensions mount in Israel.
