  • Did Ursula von der Leyen announce a geoeconomic and defence policy??

  • What’s going on with the EU-US trade war?

  • Will Von der Leyen ‘survive’ her confidence vote?

  • Should we want her to survive it?

  • What the hell happened to the Rassemblement National?

If these are the questions you were asking yourself, then you’re in the right place!

() and I sat down for a fun discussion regarding the ongoing trade conflict / negotiations between the US and the EU, why Von der Leyen is not the leader we need right now, whether she will survive her confidence vote, and why the police raided the offices of Marine Le Pen’s Rassemblement National
