- How has the weakening of German-French leadership affected the dynamics within the European Union?
- Germany's declining economy and the reduced popularity of French President Macron have weakened the traditional German-French leadership within the EU. This creates an opportunity for right-wing leaders like Orbán and Giorgia Meloni to increase their influence.
- How is the EU preparing economically for potential changes in US policy under a Trump administration?
- The EU is preparing economically for potential tariff increases from the US under a Trump administration, with Germany potentially facing significant economic losses. The EU is also discussing plans to address the economic challenges posed by China and the US.
- What are the main topics to be discussed at the upcoming European Political Community summits in Hungary?
- The European Political Community (EPC) summits in Hungary will discuss the future of the EU in light of Donald Trump's return to power in the US. The summits will focus on Europe's response to a potential change in US support for Ukraine and the overall impact on NATO security.
- What is the status of Donald Trump's potential involvement in the EPC summits, and how has this affected relations with Ukraine?
- While Orbán planned to include Trump via video link, EU diplomats rejected the proposal. Orbán then threatened to cancel a planned video conference with Ukrainian President Zelenskyy, highlighting the divisions within the EU on how to handle the potential shift in US policy towards Ukraine.
- How has Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán's stance on Donald Trump's return affected his relationships with other EU leaders?
- Viktor Orbán, Hungary's prime minister, has consistently supported Trump and sees his victory as a global win. This stance, coupled with his previous controversial peace mission, has created friction with other EU leaders who are concerned about his pro-Russia stance.
