What are the immediate consequences of Donald Trump's cuts to US scientific research funding, and how does the EU plan to capitalize on this situation?

Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, invited US scientists affected by Donald Trump's policies to relocate to the EU, offering increased funding, longer contracts, less bureaucracy, and legal protection for research freedom. This initiative follows Trump's budget cuts to crucial scientific sectors, including environmental research and cancer prevention, resulting in significant funding reductions for agencies like the NIH and NSF.
