Western Europe’s BIG CLAIM On Ukraine War | Plans To Purchase Weapons From… | Bloomberg Report

Western European leaders are reportedly considering buying U.S. weapons for Ukraine if Donald Trump halts American military aid. According to Bloomberg, EU and UK officials hope to keep Ukraine armed and also persuade Washington to maintain intelligence sharing with Kiev. Amid Trump's warnings of withdrawing support and EU stockpile shortages, European powers fear a collapse in Ukraine's defense. French President Macron and EU officials admit production limits, while Russia warns that Western support only prolongs the war and escalates tensions with NATO. #UkraineWar #Trump #Bloomberg #EU #USWeapons #Macron #NATO #RussiaUkraine #Zelensky #MilitaryAid #Europe #Lavrov #Kiev #France #UK #Biden #WesternSupport #DefenseCrisis #MilitaryProduction #UkraineCrisis Also Read Trump Blames Putin & Zelenskyy as He Seeks to End Ukraine War :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-blames-putin-zelenskyy-as-he-seeks-to-end-ukraine-war-4109951.html?ref=DMDesc Putin, Trump Will Speak On Tuesday About The War In Ukraine :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/putin-trump-will-speak-on-tuesday-about-the-war-in-ukraine-4097635.html?ref=DMDesc An Uncertain Peace: How Trump And Putin Plan To End The Ukraine War :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/an-uncertain-peace-how-trump-and-putin-plan-to-end-the-ukraine-war-4096855.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.102~HT.408~

‘NATO a DYSFUNCTIONAL Family’ | Allies clash over Defence spending over Russia’s Baltic Sea threat

NATO faces internal cracks as leaders clash over defense spending amid fresh Russian threats. Polish PM Donald Tusk revealed his forces intercepted a Russian “shadow fleet” near undersea cables in the Baltic Sea—seen as hybrid warfare. Lithuania’s defense minister Dovile Shakalene criticized NATO’s dysfunction, backing Donald Trump’s call for 5% defense spending. She slammed Western European nations for ignoring Eastern security concerns. As Russia’s activity intensifies, NATO unity is under stress, raising fears of permanent confrontation in the Baltic region. #NATO #BalticSea #DonaldTusk #RussiaThreat #HybridWarfare #UnderseaCables #NATOCrisis #DefenceSpending #NATODivide #Lithuania #Poland #TrumpDefensePlan #SecurityCrisis #Geopolitics #RussianNavy #NATOTensions #DysfunctionalNATO #TrumpPolicy #5PercentDefense #BalticSecurity #MilitarySpending #EasternEuropeSecurity #HybridConflict #WesternEurope #RussiaWatch #GlobalSecurity Also Read US-Europe Divide Deepens Over Ukraine As Trump Challenges NATO's Approach :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-europe-divide-deepens-over-ukraine-as-trump-challenges-natos-approach-4080283.html?ref=DMDesc Zelensky Willing To Step Down If It Secures Ukraine's NATO Membership: 'Immediately' If Necessary :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/zelensky-willing-to-step-down-if-it-secures-ukraines-nato-membership-immediately-if-necessary-4078905.html?ref=DMDesc NATO Increases Baltic Sea Patrols as Finland Investigates Possible Sabotage of Undersea Cables :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/nato-enhances-baltic-sea-patrols-amid-sabotage-probe-011-4027881.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.194~HT.336~GR.122~

PANIC in Europe | PLEADS with China to Lift Rare Earth Export Controls as Factories GRIND to a Halt

The EU has raised alarms over severe disruptions caused by China’s rare earth export restrictions, which have slashed supplies to key industries, including auto manufacturing. Exports to Germany halved in April, prompting emergency talks between EU officials and China’s commerce ministry. Beijing’s opaque and security-heavy licensing system is delaying shipments and pushing prices 4–7 times higher. The U.S. has accused China of violating trade agreements, as manufacturers in both the EU and U.S. now face critical material shortages. #RareEarthCrisis #ChinaExportCurbs #EUChinaTensions #SupplyChainDisruption #AutoIndustry #RareEarthMagnets #TradeWar #ExportLicenses #CriticalMaterials #IndustrialCrisis #EUIndustry #Geopolitics #MarosSefcovic #TechMaterials #ChinaTradePolicy #ManufacturingCrisis #RawMaterialShortage #USChinaTrade #ExportBlockade #RareEarthPrices #EUAutoCrisis #TradeTruce #EUChinaTalks #StrategicMinerals #BreakingNews #EUManufacturing #BeijingPolicy #CustomsDelays #EconomicSecurity ~ED.194~HT.336~GR.124~
