‘THE WEST NO LONGER EXISTS’: EU Chief Von Der Leyen Declares End of U.S.-Europe Alliance

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has delivered a bold statement: “The West as we knew it no longer exists.” In a powerful new interview, she blames President Trump’s aggressive tariffs—20% on EU goods and 25% on cars—for collapsing the once-strong transatlantic alliance.

As EU-U.S. trade tensions grow, the EU is pivoting toward new global partners.

Von der Leyen says 87% of the world’s trade now happens outside the U.S., marking a clear shift in economic power.

Is the era of a united West truly over?

‘35 Billion Euros via SMS’: Ursula von der Leyen Faces EU Firestorm Over Secret Pfizer Vaccine Deal

A political firestorm has erupted in Brussels as French MEPs accuse European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen of secretly negotiating a €35 billion vaccine deal with Pfizer—via SMS. With no tenders or transparency, critics allege "abuse of power" and demand accountability. The scandal, now dubbed “Pfizergate,” comes days before a critical no-confidence vote. Calls for von der Leyen’s resignation grow louder as questions swirl around pricing, procurement, and the hidden texts that could shake the EU to its core. #Pfizergate #EUScandal #UrsulaVonDerLeyen #VaccineDeal #Pfizer #SMSDeal #MEP #EUCommission #NoConfidenceVote #Transparency #PublicMoney #EUPolitics #BreakingNews #Aubry #Corruption #BigPharma #VaccineControversy #EUParliament #SecretDeal #PoliticalScandal #BrusselsNews #Accountability #PublicFunds #VaccineGate #EUWatchdog #EuropeanUnion #ResignNow #SMSScandal #ContractScandal #CovidVaccines

Iran WARNS Of Retaliation If US Refuses Guarantees Before Resuming Nuclear Talks After Conflict [Video]

Iran WARNS Of Retaliation If US Refuses Guarantees Before Resuming Nuclear Talks After Conflict

Iran has signaled its willingness to resume nuclear diplomacy—but only under strict conditions. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said renewed talks must include U.S. guarantees that Iranian nuclear sites will not be struck again, following recent Israeli and U.S. airstrikes, including the impactful June 22 bombing campaign. The cancelled June 15 round in Oman collapsed after Tehran deemed the attacks a “declaration of war.” Araghchi told Le Monde that diplomacy must now be rooted in accountability, mutual respect, and concrete assurances. Tehran continues enriching uranium to 60% purity under IAEA oversight, arguing this proves its program’s peaceful goals. Iran also refuses to discuss its ballistic missile capability, calling it defensively crucial. Washington asserts Trump remains committed to peace—though Araghchi dismissed claims of Iran’s program being “obliterated” and hinted at possible compensation for damage. The stakes are high as both sides weigh whether talks can survive past recent military escalations. #IranNuclear #UStalks #AbbasAraghchi #NuclearDiplomacy #IranUSRelations #OmanTalks #IAEA #UraniumEnrichment #IranGuarantees #USStrikes #IranRetaliation #MutualRespect #NuclearTalks2025 #IranianForeignMinister #LeMondeInterview #BallisticMissiles #IranCompensation #MiddleEastTension #TrumpIran #GlobalSecurity ~HT.318~ED.102~GR.125~

US-Brazil Tensions: Trump BACKS Bolsonaro, SLAMS Lula | Brazil THREATENS US With Reciprocal Tariffs [Video]

US-Brazil Tensions: Trump BACKS Bolsonaro, SLAMS Lula | Brazil THREATENS US With Reciprocal Tariffs

In a fiery escalation of U.S.-Brazil tensions, Donald Trump has publicly defended former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, slamming Brazil’s legal proceedings against him as “very unfair.” Trump called Bolsonaro a “good man” and “tough negotiator,” drawing outrage from current President Lula da Silva, who warned the U.S. of “reciprocal tariffs” if Trump’s threatened 50% import duties go into effect. Lula condemned Trump’s remarks and questioned the legitimacy of his defense, particularly as Bolsonaro faces trial for plotting to prevent Lula’s presidency in 2023. Despite Trump's stance, Brazil's government downplayed the tariff’s impact, projecting continued growth. Tensions flared as Lula said while Brazil seeks dialogue, it would not bow to threats. Trump hinted at a conversation with Lula but showed no urgency. As the 2025 global trade climate heats up, this Trump-Bolsonaro-Lula standoff marks a dramatic pivot in diplomatic tone between two major Western Hemisphere powers. #Trump #LulaDaSilva #Bolsonaro #Brazil #USBrazilRelations #TradeWar #ReciprocalTariffs #TrumpNews #BolsonaroTrial #LulaVsTrump #TariffThreat #USPolitics #BrazilNews #InternationalTrade #GlobalTensions #TrumpSpeech #TradeFeud #BolsonaroSupport #TrumpBolsonaro #LulaResponse ~HT.318~ED.102~PR.152~GR.125~
