This has been denied to be a new, separate deal that competes with the US, and is rather a comment made by a EU representative to reaffirm an existing deal that the EU made with Ukraine back in 2021. Or possibly someone wanted to put pressure on...
I don't know, it feels most of the time he struggles to control a ball along the ground. One point in the first half he was carrying the ball up the field and clumsily knocked it about 2 meters in front of him whilst chasing it, and then ran into...

Why are Macron and Starmer going in two separate meetings with Trump? And do they have any leverage at all to influence Trump?
I'd...
I think this is exactly the scenario that many people were predicting in this thread. It is not really surprising it all, although still shocking to see it happen.
I suppose there was never a chance for the European countries to properly unite...
