‘THE WEST NO LONGER EXISTS’: EU Chief Von Der Leyen Declares End of U.S.-Europe Alliance [Video]

‘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.

Trump Slams EU’s Tariff Proposal as ‘Very Bad’, Cites Car Ban, Slaps 20% Tariffs on Industrial Goods [Video]

Trump Slams EU’s Tariff Proposal as ‘Very Bad’, Cites Car Ban, Slaps 20% Tariffs on Industrial Goods

President Donald Trump has rejected the European Union’s "zero-for-zero" tariff proposal for industrial goods, calling it "very, very bad." Trump argued that the EU restricts U.S. cars and agriculture, and retaliated by imposing a 20% tariff on European exports. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen warned of countermeasures if talks collapse. As tensions escalate, EU stock markets tumbled, with Germany’s DAX and the UK’s FTSE 100 suffering heavy losses. The standoff risks disrupting transatlantic trade worth over €1 trillion annually, threatening global economic stability. #Trump #EUTrade #TariffWar #TradeTensions #USPolitics #DonaldTrump #EuropeanUnion #TradeDeficit #ZeroTariff #Cars #USvsEU #GlobalMarkets #VonDerLeyen #USExports #TariffNews #Protectionism #BreakingNews #EUReaction #IndustrialTrade #TrumpTariffs Also Read Trump Dismisses General Tim Haugh from National Security Agency Amidst Congressional Concerns :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-fires-general-tim-haugh-national-security-agency-011-4115013.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Warns Iran: Strike A Nuclear Deal In Two Months Or Face Unprecedented Bombing :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-warns-iran-strike-a-nuclear-deal-in-two-months-or-face-unprecedented-bombing-4109797.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Visits Kennedy Center to Shape the Future of National Arts and Culture :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-visit-kennedy-center-arts-institution-011-4097567.html?ref=DMDesc ~GR.344~HT.408~

Russia BLASTS West for Refugee Crisis: ‘Double Standards’ and Callous Neglect of Dying Innocents

In a powerful statement at the UN, Russia's Deputy Permanent Representative, Maria Zabolotskaya, condemned Western countries for their "double standards" in addressing the global refugee crisis. Highlighting the devastating impact of the Gaza conflict, she criticized the reluctance of Western nations to provide sufficient humanitarian aid to refugees, particularly those fleeing from war-torn regions like Syria, Afghanistan, and Sudan. Zabolotskaya also pointed out the hypocrisy in Western countries voicing concern over Ukrainian refugees while ignoring the plight of those seeking asylum in Russia. She called out the EU's failure to provide adequate support to refugees, especially those crossing the Mediterranean, and the deadly consequences of this inaction. With lives at stake and no accountability, the international community must confront the moral and legal crisis unfolding before our eyes. #RefugeeCrisis #Gaza #DoubleStandards #UN #HumanitarianCrisis #RussiaUN #MariaZabolotskaya #WesternHypocrisy #Refugees #InternationalLaw #GlobalPolitics #MediterraneanCrisis #Syria #Afghanistan #UkraineRefugees #SaveTheRefugees ~PR.274~HT.408~ED.102~GR.124~

Trump To Exit Ukraine Peace Talks? EU’s SHOCKING Revelation Amid Ceasefire Failures | Ukraine War

European Union officials fear US President Donald Trump may abandon efforts to broker peace in Ukraine. Despite campaign promises to end the war quickly, Trump has seen no major breakthroughs in his second term’s first 100 days. EU insiders suggest Trump may be crafting an exit narrative, frustrated by slow talks and Russia’s unwillingness to meet demands. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has warned the US may withdraw from the peace process. Meanwhile, Russia claims it’s ready for talks without preconditions but criticizes Ukraine’s lack of initiative. #TrumpUkraine #UkraineConflict #EUConcern #RussiaUkraineWar #TrumpPeacePlan #MarcoRubio #PeaceTalks #USForeignPolicy #Kremlin #NATO #UkraineWar #TrumpExits #UkraineUpdate #RussiaTalks #WashingtonNews #EasternEurope #UkraineCrisis #TrumpTimeline #DiplomaticCrisis #Geopolitics Also Read Trump Declares Columbus Day Will Remain Unchanged Amid Indigenous Peoples Day Recognition :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-reinstates-columbus-day-amid-indigenous-peoples-day-debate-011-4136967.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Considers Temporary Exemption from Auto Tariffs to Aid Car Manufacturers Amid Economic Challenges :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-considers-temporary-exemption-auto-tariffs-011-4124041.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Dismisses General Tim Haugh from National Security Agency Amidst Congressional Concerns :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-fires-general-tim-haugh-national-security-agency-011-4115013.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.102~HT.408~GR.124~

Russian Drone Strike Kills 8 Overnight | Is Putin Sabotaging Ceasefire With Civilian Attacks?

A fresh wave of Russian airstrikes has killed at least eight civilians and injured 24 others across Ukraine, including multiple children. Ukrainian officials report intensified attacks amid Kyiv’s calls for a ceasefire. Among the dead are a 12-year-old girl in Samars, a 68-year-old man in Semenivka, and a child in Dnipropetrovsk. Air defenses intercepted 37 of 100 drones, while others vanished off radar. Deadly strikes continued across Donetsk, Kharkiv, and Chernihiv, as the human toll of the ongoing conflict grows heavier by the day. #Ukraine #Russia #UkraineWar #CivilianCasualties #UkraineCrisis #Putin #Airstrikes #DroneAttack #Kyiv #Dnipropetrovsk #Donetsk #Chernihiv #Kharkiv #UkraineNews #WarCrimes #ChildrenKilled #RussianMilitary #Zelensky #WorldNews #BreakingNews #UkraineConflict #CeasefireNow #UkraineUpdate #HumanRights #EasternEurope #WarToll #StopTheWar #UkrainianDefense #DroneStrike #InnocentLivesLost #Russian Also Read Pahalgam Attack: Scared Pakistan Seeks China, Russia's Intervention For Investigation :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/pahalgam-attack-scared-pakistan-seeks-china-russias-intervention-for-investigation-4136899.html?ref=DMDesc Preparations Underway For Vladimir Putin’s India Visit: Russian FM Lavrov :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/preparations-underway-for-vladimir-putin-s-india-visit-russian-fm-lavrov-4106621.html?ref=DMDesc Diplomatic Breakthrough: Russia and Ukraine Commit to Black Sea Maritime Safety :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/diplomatic-breakthrough-russia-and-ukraine-commit-to-black-sea-maritime-safety-4105123.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~PR.85~
