05:38E todos os dias que passam, quando não colocamos o máximo de pressão na Rússia, é uma falha.
05:45Então, nós propostamos, do lado da sua frente, propostamos três coisas.
05:50Então, é o maritone de serviços de maritimes, e depois é o desistir o importo de fertilizadores,
05:56que é ainda o terceiro maior importo de Rússia, alimentando a economia de rússia russa.
06:03E depois, número três, desistir o exporto de produtos luxurais.
06:08Da Europa para a Rússia, porque eu acho que é um desistir que eles ainda possam ir embora, como usual.
06:15E esse anúncio foi feito por Ursula von der Leyen amanhã, symbolicamente em Kiev,
06:19quatro anos desde a full-scale invasão começou.
06:22Vai ela ter que ir agora empty-handed?
06:24Não sei ainda. Eu sou sempre optimista.
06:28Eu realmente espero que nós possamos colocar mais pressão sobre esses dois países, mas vamos ver.
06:35There is this council meeting today, and then tonight the ambassadors will meet again.
06:40So, I've not given up yet.
06:42Porque it's not just the sanction package we're talking about,
06:44it's also the 90 billion euro lifeline that Hungary is now blocking.
06:47And we have decided upon that.
06:49So, it's a disgrace that they don't let it pass, but we will continue to put pressure on them.
06:56I'm afraid that there is a lot of domestic politics in all of this, with elections coming up in Hungary.
07:03And it's a frustration, of course, when we see that Ukrainians are suffering every day.
07:10And also that Russia is getting weaker and weaker.
07:14So, now is the time to change the calculus.
07:17And what about the talks to end the war, the US-brokered talks?
07:21Any faith in them?
07:21And is it time to have an EU envoy to speak to Vladimir Putin?
07:24Well, the main problem is, regardless of who is there to talk, is that Russia still doesn't want peace.
07:32That is why we need to change this calculus, like I said.
07:36And this war has been a strategic mistake from the beginning for Russia,
07:42because they wanted a Russian Ukraine.
07:45They got a European Ukraine.
07:46They wanted to stop the expansion of NATO.
07:49They got Sweden and Finland in NATO.
07:52They have lost allies.
07:53They have lost influence.
07:55They have lost over one million lives.
07:59So, we still need to put more pressure on them, because they are weakening.
08:04And that is the only way to have them interested in serious talks about peace.
08:10And what about EU membership for Ukraine?
08:11Would you support this by 2027?
08:14We are great supporters of EU membership for Ukraine.
08:18And we also support their path towards EU membership.
08:22I mean, still, it's a merits-based process.
08:24It's important that they can reach the levels that are required in different areas.
08:30But we will do everything we can to make sure that they will be able to become members.
08:36But 2027, not realistic?
08:37It's a very early date, but we will support them in any way to make sure that they can reach
08:45that goal.
08:46And just, Minister, another big story we're following here on Euronews.
08:49The big announcement from Donald Trump regarding the new global tariffs.
08:52How should the EU respond to that?
08:54With unity and with strength, like we've done before.
08:59But let me be very clear.
09:01Tariffs are taxes.
09:02They are very harmful for businesses, for consumers, and for the economy overall.
09:10I mean, now I expect the US to explain what is the way forward for them.
09:16But, of course, we want to have less tariffs.
09:21Well, what I prefer is no tariffs.
09:25And if there are more tariffs, should the EU use more stricter tools?
09:30A trade war is not what we need.
09:34But, if needed, we should be able to show strength and, above all, unity.
09:39OK, Minister Nuttman, in your words, thank you so much for coming into us today on Europe Today.
09:43All the best for that Foreign Affairs Minister's meeting.
09:45But as you heard there, Brussels is a little bit in wait-and-see mode over that fresh announcement from
09:49Donald Trump about global tariffs.
09:52Senior trade MEPs have been telling us here at Euronews that they're staying calm, so as not to add fuel
09:56to the fire.
09:57But there is a big debate now on whether or not to freeze the EU-US trade deal.
10:01For analysis, shortly, we'll be joined here on set by our EU news editor, Maria Todeo.
10:06But first, a quick refresher on what exactly is going on.
10:09Jakub Janus reports.
10:12In Soviet Russia, there was a famous joke.
10:15You turn on the radio and hear about Lenin.
10:18You open the newspaper and read about Lenin.
10:21Now I'm terrified to open my fridge.
10:24These days, one could say the same about Donald Trump and his global tariffs.
10:29Because after a US Supreme Court ruling called his last week tariffs unconstitutional,
10:35Trump simply doubled down and announced a new 15% import tax anyway.
10:41So what actually happened and how it will affect you?
10:44The Supreme Court ruled that the US Constitution gives the power of taxation strictly to Congress, not the President.
10:53By using emergency laws to tax the world, Trump overstepped his authority.
10:59And for the EU, this creates chaos.
11:02Last summer's still unratified EU-US trade deal, capping tariffs at 15%, is now in legal limbo.
11:10And with those powers voided, the European Commission is asking now for clarity.
11:16As European companies could potentially get billions in refunds for the tariffs they already paid.
11:22But here is the catch.
11:24This doesn't affect Trump's older tariffs on steel, aluminium and cars, which relied on completely different laws.
11:33But even with a conservative Republican-nominated majority, the Supreme Court still ruled against Trump.
11:40And in response, he publicly attacked the very justices appointed by Republican presidents.
11:46They're just being fools and lapdogs for the Rhinos and the radical left Democrats.
11:52So, back to that fridge joke.
11:54If these new tariffs hold, expect whatever the EU imports from the US to get more expensive.
12:00But there is hope.
12:02Danish shoppers are now using a new app that scans products to help you easily find local alternatives to US
12:09imports.
12:10So perhaps it's time for Europe to follow the famous motto.
12:14So, improvise, adapt, overcome.
12:22Yeah, Kapiannis reporting there.
12:23And to hear now what the EU could do, or at least hear what tools they have at their disposal.
12:27I'm joined here on set by our EU news editor, Maria Tadeo.
12:31Good morning, Maria.
12:32Good morning.
12:32So, look, we heard there about this causing chaos in Brussels.
12:35What are you hearing?
12:36Well, it is chaos because, Maeve, there are two big questions this morning.
12:40One is the validity of the deal that was made between the European Union and the US last year.
12:45And then, of course, the question of refunds, which is not a minor question for European companies.
12:50And when you look at that ruling on Friday, of course, the Supreme Court does not enter the merit of
12:55the tariffs.
12:56It does not say whether this is good or right policy, whether this was wrong or right.
12:59But it does say that the way in which these tariffs were designed, it is illegal.
13:04It's been struck down.
13:05The issue is that, of course, those Liberation Day tariffs were the basis of that deal that the EU and
13:10the United States cut in the summer.
13:1215% tariff that was included in that package.
13:16But over the weekend, I spoke to a number of lawyers who told me, look, if the legal basis changes,
13:21you could argue that deal in many ways no longer applies.
13:25So there is a question of the validity of it going forward when it comes to the refunds.
13:30European companies have been paying that 15% threshold.
13:34Remember, tariffs basically tripled for European companies since the end of last summer.
13:39They could say, I want to get a refund.
13:41Who's going to pay that differentiation between the tariffs that were now put over the weekend to sort of salvo
13:46the situation from the US and the tariffs that have already been paid?
13:49And then, of course, we cannot forget that this deal also included a broader agreement, which also meant investments in
13:56the US when it comes to Europe and also the purchases of energy.
14:00What the European Parliament is saying, and there will be a meeting today, is that this is not the right
14:05time for the full implementation of this deal because, again, the legal basis has changed.
14:10So there's a lot of questions.
14:11The United States also conceded over the weekend.
14:13They do not have an answer to these questions.
14:15And then, of course, this deal, which was vilified last summer.
14:18Remember, Europe and the Commission was accused of selling out the European Union.
14:22This was a deal objectively tilted in favour of the US.
14:26The argument at the time was it's going to provide certainty and clarity.
14:29Well, this morning, I would argue, is the complete opposite.
14:32There's not a lot of certainty.
14:34There is not, no, Maria.
14:35Thank you so much for that update.
14:37And for more, of course, do take a look at yournews.com.
14:39But now, as promised, it is time to head back over to the European Council Foreign Affairs meeting here in
14:44Brussels and bring back our Shona Murray, who's been catching up with foreign ministers as they arrive there on the
14:50red carpet.
14:50Shona, what's the latest?
14:54Well, good morning, Maeve, and welcome back to this Foreign Affairs Minister's meeting on the eve of the fourth anniversary
14:58of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
15:00And I'm joined now by the Foreign Affairs Minister of Lithuania, Minister Budris, who, of course, Lithuania is a frontline
15:06country minister.
15:08Just tell us, first of all, your reaction to that bombshell announcement by Hungary over the weekend on Friday about
15:13blocking this lifeline loan.
15:15That was very frustrating, of course.
15:17And we were expecting that everything was already prepared for the fourth anniversary and we will be ready to deliver
15:22new sanctions package, 20 sanctions package,
15:24and also 90 billion euros loan to Ukraine, and that will be something to show that Europe is solid, Europe
15:32is resolved and we can deliver.
15:35Now we cannot, and this is really frustrating.
15:37On the other hand, it's not the first time when we see one country blocking our collective action for the
15:44internal politics.
15:45I don't know for what reasons, but they're absolutely in opposite to European security interests.
15:50And we have to be very honest about it, whether we are still the family of the countries that are
15:54sharing the values, sharing the security interests, and sharing the future.
15:58Whether we are in 27 really effective, because we cannot be disrupted each time by these vetoes.
16:04Indeed, you told me just a few minutes ago that you will look your Hungarian Foreign Affairs Minister in the
16:09eye, Peter Sarto.
16:10What do you say to him today?
16:12That's what we expect from the partners, what we expect from the European Union, and we expect a clear explanation
16:18of how it contradicts their national interests,
16:21because this is the only reason how you can block the collective action.
16:25And we saw so many times this exploitation of the principle of unanimity.
16:30We have to review whether we have to review the very decision-making process, or we have to review the
16:36powers of one of the member states.
16:38Because we cannot continue like this, because so many difficult issues are in front of us.
16:44So that is actually the key question here.
16:46That's what everybody I've spoken to over the weekend is saying.
16:48This cannot go on, that one country can use and abuse the veto.
16:51What should the solution be in relation to Hungary, because it is the country that does it the most?
16:56We have to go into the discussion about the decision-making in the common foreign security policy and whether we
17:02should move to QMV.
17:03Lithuania was one of the biggest skeptics, and we were supporters of unanimity.
17:08Now I see how it is disrupted each time.
17:12Now I'm also leaning to the position that we should use more QMV.
17:15Another thing is the principles that we have in Article 7, what allows us to reduce the voting rights of
17:22one of the member if we cannot proceed further.
17:24Because with Article 7, just to interrupt you there, I mean, it's not been possible to get a consensus there,
17:29or even a two-thirds majority.
17:31Do you think that might have changed, that EU member states are a bit more frustrated with Hungary, that they
17:35might push for this?
17:36When I see the faces across the table, I understand what is beneath there, what will be the precedent for
17:42the future.
17:43But we cannot block ourselves, because otherwise we would move to other formats to make a decision, but not the
17:49EU.
17:49It means that it will be the end for a U.S. geopolitical actor in the future.
17:53So this is what is at stake.
17:54I'm not even mentioning the European security architecture in the future.
17:57So this is a real tough issue.
17:59If we cannot proceed, we cannot each time prepare some carrots to the donkey to move further.
18:06So we have to, you know, take also sticks.
18:09Okay, so what is the immediate resolution to this?
18:11Because if this €90 billion loan is blocked, we know that Ukraine is going to run out of money within
18:16the next six to eight weeks, what's the solution?
18:18Is it bilateral loans from member states?
18:21I mean, what to do?
18:22I still have the hope, I'm optimistic, that we will proceed further.
18:26There are some certain instruments that the European Commission has, and there are some interests also of Hungary, what they
18:33want to receive from the European Union.
18:35So I'm optimistic that we will get there.
18:37But we are late, because Ukrainians need money right now.
18:40And, of course, there are, you know, bilateral tracks.
18:43And on this one, we also have to be really honest.
18:45Those are Nordic, Baltic countries, Germany, Netherlands, probably, Poland, some others I won't name, everyone.
18:52But not every country supports Ukraine at the same level.
18:55Some of them, you know, only, you know, talk more than or invest some other material, but not the finances.
19:02They need a hard currency and money.
19:04Okay, Minister for Lithuania, thank you very much for joining us on Euronews.
19:08And back to you, Maeve.
19:09Thank you so much, Shona Murray.
19:11And, of course, to the Lithuanian Foreign Minister, Kestusti Tbuddus, there.
19:14For more on those awkward conversations taking place inside that foreign ministers' meeting in Brussels, do keep an eye on
19:20Euronews.com.
19:21And tune in tomorrow morning.
19:22We'll have a very special edition of Europe Today, focused on the impact the full-scale war on Ukraine has
19:28had and what it means as well for the EU.
19:30Thanks so much for watching.
19:31Take care.
19:32Bye from Brussels.
20:00We'll see you next time.
