  1. >Germany fears losing industrial champions because of unfair competition from state-backed US and Chinese rivals.

    Funny how European countries are accused of being communist or socialists but seem to be one of the few that adhere as much as possible to the tenants of a free market.

  2. It is remarkable how Europe has become more French in the last 2 years.

    The advocacy for nuclear power. The talks about military sovereignty. The state-backed aid for local industries. The shared debt issued as the coronabonds recovery package. The decreased support for austerity for southern countries. The increased support for a federation.

  3. >> America’s Inflation Reduction Act, which grants $369 billion worth of subsidies and tax breaks to U.S. green businesses, will be high on the agenda of both meetings. EU countries fear that the U.S. law will suck investment out of Europe, and are fuming about discriminatory provisions that encourage consumers to “Buy American” when it comes to purchasing an electric vehicle.

    God, the horror and audacity these Americans have to do this to Europe!
