‘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?

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.

European leaders will join Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Washington for high-stakes talks with Donald Trump. The meeting comes as Trump pushes Zelensky toward a quick peace deal involving territorial concessions to Russia—something strongly opposed by EU allies. Ursula von der Leyen, Mark Rutte, Alexander Stubb, Friedrich Merz, Keir Starmer, Emmanuel Macron, and Giorgia Meloni are all expected to attend. The talks will focus on security guarantees, future military aid, and Ukraine’s borders—underscoring deep transatlantic divisions over Trump’s push for compromise with Putin.

Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky, hesitant after his disastrous last meeting with Trump, will be joined by the new EU Chief for a tense White House visit. Critics claim Zelensky is “too scared” to face Trump alone, while Europe rallies behind Kyiv’s “no land” stance. British PM Keir Starmer, Macron, and Merz offered support, as Trump insists only a direct peace deal can end the war. In a dramatic twist, Melania Trump even appealed to Putin in a letter urging him to think of suffering children.

A high-stakes summit in Alaska between Presidents Trump and Putin failed to deliver a breakthrough in ending the war in Ukraine. UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer praised Trump’s efforts but stressed that sanctions must remain. EU diplomat Kaja Kallas warned Moscow showed “no commitments,” accusing Putin of dragging out talks. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s role was highlighted as crucial, with EU and NATO leaders reaffirming security guarantees for Kyiv. Norway’s foreign minister cautioned the summit lacked substance, raising doubts about Moscow’s intentions.

Hours before President Zelensky’s White House visit, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio made waves by suggesting Ukraine and Russia must consider concessions for a peace deal. His remarks come after reports that Putin demanded control of Donbas in exchange for ending the war. Zelensky, backed by Europe, has firmly rejected any territorial compromise, repeating “No land for invaders.” While Rubio urged diplomacy, he warned peace may remain elusive, and without an agreement, the war—already entering its fourth year—could bring more deaths and consequences for Russia.

Rumors about Vladimir Putin's declining health have been around for years ... and there might be some truth to the speculation if you caught the subtle clues.. TMZ.com
Hours after a high-stakes Trump-Putin meeting ended without progress, Russia unleashed ballistic missiles and Shaheed drones across Ukraine, killing five and wounding eleven. Ukraine’s air defense intercepted 40 drones, but multiple strikes hit civilian areas. Hopes for a ceasefire faded as European leaders opposed Trump’s accelerated peace plan, instead urging direct Ukraine-Russia talks. Trump now seeks a trilateral summit with Putin and Zelensky on August 22, as the war intensifies and negotiations remain deadlocked.
