00:14Good morning, it is Wednesday the 8th of April. I'm Maeve McMahan and this is Europe Today.
00:20Your daily dose of European news and analysis live here on Euronews.
00:26Coming up in an 11th hour deal, the US President Donald Trump has pulled back from threats to launch devastating
00:33strikes on Iran.
00:35A two-week truce has been agreed on the condition that the Strait of Hormuz remains open, but Israel says
00:41the agreement does not extend to Lebanon.
00:44This comes as NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte heads to Washington today for talks with President Trump.
00:49The US leader is angered by allies for not backing his stance on Iran, putting strain on the 77-year
00:56-old transatlantic alliance.
00:58We'll look at whether NATO without the US is even possible.
01:01And just days ahead of key parliamentary elections in Hungary, the US Vice President has criticised the EU over alleged
01:08foreign interference.
01:10Speaking alongside Viktor Orban on the campaign trail, J.D. Vance accused EU officials of trying to undermine Hungary's economy
01:18while praising Viktor Orban for standing up to what he called Western values.
01:22We'll get up to speed with our Hungarian correspondent.
01:25But first, world leaders are reacting cautiously to a ceasefire announcement between the US and Iran that both sides seem
01:32to be hailing as a victory.
01:34To hear more about what exactly is in the plan, I'm joined here on set by Euronews' US politics expert,
01:39that is Stefan Kobe.
01:40Good morning, Stefan.
01:41Good morning, Maeve.
01:42So a truce for now, but it seems very fragile.
01:45Yes, indeed, Maeve.
01:47I mean, first of all, this is not the end of the war.
01:49It's a ceasefire.
01:50And in our news vocabulary, that's probably the best word we could use today.
01:55Now, is it fragile?
01:57Yes, because we have seen earlier this morning already attacks in Israel and the region.
02:02And are there questions still lingering?
02:04Absolutely.
02:05The question number one, when does it start?
02:08Neither side, neither Trump nor the Iranians would say when it starts.
02:11And then the precondition that Trump had said would be absolutely necessary, the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, that
02:18is also a little murky.
02:19Iran said it will reopen the street, but under the condition that it will maintain the control of the management
02:28of the strait.
02:29So a lot to unpack here.
02:31And the Farsi and the American version, the English speaking version, are not entirely, entirely clear.
02:36They're not entirely saying the same thing.
02:40But, of course, it gives us, the world, the people in the region, a glimmer of hope.
02:45And all this comes after an amazing roller coaster 48 hours or more, if we include the Easter weekend, when
02:53Trump made apocalyptic threats against Iran, trying to force the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.
03:00And just hours before the deadline, he said in a tweet on his social media post, a whole civilization will
03:08die tonight, never to be brought back again.
03:11I don't want that to happen, but it probably will.
03:14Now, Maeve, we've never heard such language by an American president, at least in public.
03:20And this was very disturbing and very troubling, even for military experts that I spoke to yesterday.
03:27Now, then, 90 minutes before the deadline, Trump made this announcement of the ceasefire, mentioning the 10-point plan of
03:37Iran.
03:37And he said this, this will be a double-sided ceasefire.
03:41The reason for doing so is that we have already met and exceeded all military objectives and are very far
03:47along with a definitive agreement concerning long-term peace with Iran and peace in the Middle East.
03:54Interesting, Maeve, in a subsequent post, Trump spoke of a lot of positive action that he's seeing ahead for the
04:02Middle East, said that big money will be made, Iran can start the reconstruction process, and it could be a
04:09golden age for the entire Middle East, if, of course, things go according to plan.
04:16Of course, Stefan, because this is just an announcement for now. A deal still needs to be struck. So all
04:21eyes as well on this Friday in Islamabad, whether peace talks take place. Thank you so much for that update,
04:26because, of course, Iran, for their part, has said talks will be taking place this Friday in Islamabad, but the
04:31White House is yet to confirm their attendance for those talks.
04:34For more, we can cross now over to your news, Leon, and bring in our Omid Lahabi from our Farsi
04:40news desk. Good morning, Omid. Thank you so much for joining us. Look, we're hearing Iranian state media here portraying
04:46this deal as a big victory against the US and Israel. Tell us more.
04:52As Anand said, two weeks, this fire agreement has been reached between Iran and the United States. Iran's National Security
05:01Council has stated that negotiations to resolve all disputes will begin this Friday in Islamabad based on a 10-point
05:11plan.
05:11And Iran's proposal includes guaranteeing safe shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. In exchange, they are demanding war repression and
05:22the lifting of sanctions.
05:24Based on current reports, shipping through the Strait will continue during these weeks, but Abbas Haragchi, Iranian foreign minister, said
05:38passage would be allowed under Iranian military management.
05:42In addition, passing ships must pay a shipping fee to Iran and Oman as coastal states.
05:51This is being framed as standard procedure for pilotage costs, which is already recognized under international maritime law.
06:01Another critical point is that Pakistani Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif mentioned the ceasefire includes Hezbollah.
06:09However, Israel has stated that while it will stop attacks on Iran, it will continue its operation against Hezbollah.
06:21So, of course, this is a significant step, but the situation remains fragile.
06:28We'll have to wait and see if this 14-day window leads to a real peace still or just more
06:35tension.
06:35Indeed, that's it. In a nutshell, Omid Lahabi, thank you so much for bringing us all those details there from
06:40Euronews in Lyon.
06:42Well, despite the temporary ceasefire being announced, Saudi Arabia has already said it has intercepted five missiles.
06:49Also, Qatar, Bahrain and the UAE are still on high alert.
06:52For the view from the region, we can cross now straight over to Dubai and bring in Euronews correspondent Jane
06:58Witherspoon.
06:58Good morning, Jane. Any reactions so far to this temporary truce?
07:05Good morning. Well, there is a real sense of optimism and positivity this morning after what was a pretty stressful
07:13and tense day and night leading up to the announcement of that temporary ceasefire.
07:19As you mentioned there, though, as well, of course, overnight, not long after that agreement was decided upon,
07:25we did have warnings of imminent attacks, renewed attacks across the region here in the UAE, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar and
07:35Saudi Arabia.
07:36I mean, our last warning alert went off at around 3.30 a.m. this morning.
07:41As you can imagine, the question on everybody's lips is what happens after that two-week period?
07:48We've got people questioning, does the Strait of Euronews become a dump and pump scheme in terms of it's open
07:55for two weeks to let the ships pass?
07:57Then what happens? Do the blockades return as well as the tension and the high stress that we are seeing?
08:03So, of course, a lot of questions, but all in all, there is a sense of hope that this is
08:09the beginning, the start, a resolution for peace across the region.
08:14OK, a sense of cautious optimism there, Jane Witherspoon. Thank you so much for that update there from Dubai.
08:20Now, moving on. All eyes are on the White House today when the NATO Secretary General, Mark Gurdjieff, calls by
08:25to see Donald Trump.
08:27President Trump has called NATO partners cowards for limiting U.S. forces' access to bases on their territories and for
08:33not leading efforts to open the crucial Strait of Hormuz.
08:37With so much tension in the air, some have been even contemplating whether a NATO without the U.S. is
08:41even possible.
08:42Our Jakob Janis takes a look.
08:46Donald Trump is not always praising other people, but this one is an exception.
08:50Secretary General is great. And Mark Gurdjieff, he's a great person, but he's got...
08:57And you know, it all began with, if you want to know the truth, Greenland. We want Greenland.
09:02They don't want to give it to us. And I said, bye-bye.
09:05And as NATO boss Mark Gurdjieff is visiting Trump today, your reporters started to wonder, could U.S. president say
09:12one day bye-bye to NATO?
09:14Let's look at what we have actually in the basket.
09:20Under the NATO treaty, the exit process seems simple.
09:23A country submits a formal notice, and one year later, they are out.
09:27But under U.S. domestic law, it is a completely different story.
09:31In 2023, legislation was passed to block any president from quitting all by themselves.
09:37And to legally withdraw, Trump would need a two-third supermajority in the Senate, or a specific Act of Congress.
09:44And although no one has ever fully left the alliance, Paris came close.
09:49In 1960s, President Charles de Gaulle pulled France out of NATO's military command.
09:54U.S. troops were ordered to leave French soil, and the alliance had to pack up its headquarters and move
10:00from Paris to Brussels.
10:01And it took more than four decades for France to rejoin the military command in 2009.
10:07However, even if Trump cannot easily withdraw, experts warn he could still follow a similar path and hollow out U
10:15.S. participation.
10:16And he could severely slash funding, withdraw key personnel, or simply refuse to honor the mutual defense pledge.
10:23And if Washington stays in the alliance in name only, calling it...
10:28This is NATO, and I've always said NATO's a paper tiger.
10:32And I've always said we help NATO, but they'll never help us.
10:36One could say NATO is already weakened from within, having lost the one thing that matters the most.
10:42It's credibility.
10:48And that was Jakob Janis there reporting for us.
10:51Now, moving on, the U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance continues his visit to Hungary today,
10:56where he's throwing his support behind Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orban,
11:00just five days ahead of crucial parliamentary elections.
11:03For more, I'm joined here on set by our Hungarian correspondent, Chandr Zeros.
11:07Good morning.
11:08Tell us about this visit, and will it have any impact on the outcome of the elections?
11:12Good morning, Maeve.
11:14Indeed, yesterday morning, J.D. Vance landed in Budapest,
11:18and we know for a while that Donald Trump, the U.S. President, loves Viktor Orban.
11:23He loves his illiberal politics, and Orban was the only EU leader who openly supported Trump's re-election bid.
11:31But Trump doesn't really like to travel that much, so he sent J.D. Vance there,
11:36and J.D. Vance was perfect for this job because he also loves Trump, he also loves Orban,
11:42but he is very hostile towards the European Union.
11:47So he endorsed Orban, he pushed for his re-election bid, but he also sent a very,
11:53very strong and brutal message to the European Union and to Brussels, so let's listen to that.
12:00I did want to send a signal to everybody, particularly the bureaucrats in Brussels who have done everything
12:05that they can to hold down the people of Hungary because they don't like the leader who has actually
12:11stood up for the people of Hungary. And I think it's important to say that. The bureaucrats in
12:16Brussels have tried to destroy the economy of Hungary. They have tried to make Hungary less energy
12:23independent, they have tried to drive up costs for Hungarian consumers, and they've done it all
12:28because they hate this guy.
12:30J.D. Vance there. And Sander, how have the bureaucrats in Brussels been reacting to this statement?
12:35I know there's deep concern in this town and among EU capitals about Hungary's ties to Russia ahead of these
12:41elections.
12:41Well, indeed, while J.D. Vance was landing in Hungary, Bloomberg released an explosive story.
12:48Yesterday, it was about a phone conversation between Prime Minister Orban and Russian President Vladimir Putin
12:55last October, in which Prime Minister Orban actually offered his help to Russia. He said,
13:02I'm at your disposal for any matter where I can help. Orban also compared their relationship
13:08to a relationship of a mouse and a tiger, which is very disturbing in a way. And this comes after
13:16various reports of how Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Siyarto has a deep and friendly relationship
13:23with his Russian counterpart, Sergei Lavrov. Now, Prime Minister Orban was grilled on the X social media
13:31by Donald Tusk, who is the Prime Minister of Poland. And Orban replied in a tweet in which he
13:38confirmed the phone call. And he said that it's true I spoke with President Putin about ending the war
13:45and organizing a US-Russia peace summit in Budapest. What have you done for peace? Overall, I'm personally
13:53pretty sure that behind these leaks and behind these tapped phone calls, there are some Western
13:59governments and Western secret services who are actually fed up with the pro-Russian policy of
14:07Viktor Orban. I'm also personally very much convinced that, you know, more leaks will come in the coming
14:14days. And this is really bad news for Orban because this is a campaign issue in Hungary. And the opposition
14:22is attacking Orban very hard. They are saying that Orban is betraying Hungarian interest and he's betraying
14:28European interest as well.
14:31Okay, Sander Ziros and more, of course, to read on yournews.com. Thank you so much for that update.
14:36And now for the view from the European Parliament on all these various issues. Coming up, we'll be joined
14:40by Marc Buttenga, a Belgian politician and member of the European Parliament for the left group. He's
14:47known for his work on energy policy, social justice and international affairs. He's also been a very
14:52vocal critic of EU economic and foreign policy positions. Good morning, Marc Buttenga.
14:58Good morning. Great to have you with us. Thanks for joining us. First, what is the view from the
15:01Parliament on this temporary truce between the Americans, the Israelis and the Iranians?
15:06Well, from the Parliament, I'm not sure. I mean, we haven't had a session right now. What I think,
15:09first of all, is that we should celebrate this. I mean, this means there's no more for the moment,
15:13at least, if it holds, innocent Iranians are going to be bombed, no more schools, no more factories,
15:19no more hospitals, because this is what's been going on. And I think the position of the EU on this
15:23has been horrible. I mean, we've had speeches by Ursula von der Leyen, by Kaya Callas,
15:29basically ignoring the fact that the United States and Israel illegally attacked Iran.
15:33So this was amazing. They've been speaking about Iran attacking its neighbours rather than Iran
15:38being a victim. So we've mixed this up. So if this ceasefire holds, and I really hope so,
15:43it'll be very, very positive for, of course, in the first place, Iranians.
15:47But there is a caveat. The Israelis have said that they welcome the ceasefire,
15:50but it does not include Lebanon. That's concerning.
15:52Well, it is very concerning. I mean, we've seen that Israel has not respected,
15:56I mean, like the United States, really, in this war, any rules on international law,
16:00on human rights. And they are now trying to occupy a big part of Lebanon, you know,
16:04up to one-fifth of Lebanon. They've been ethnically cleansing the south of Lebanon.
16:08So that's extremely concerning. And once again, let me bring this back to the European Union.
16:12Why are we silent? Why are our top officials not condemning this? Why are we not taking sanctions?
16:19Well, Antonio Costa, the council president, has been quite vocal.
16:21He's had calls with the president of Iran. He's called the situation unacceptable.
16:25He's told Donald Trump not to move in. But of course, we've seen Ursula von der Leyen very quiet.
16:29Well, yeah. But I mean, even Antonio Costa, when you see basically their statements, all of them,
16:33and there's been, I mean, they've got the same basically notes, I'm guessing.
16:38When Antonio Costa, the council president, calls the Iranian president, he basically blames Iran
16:43for the war. Well, you know, it's very clear when Russia attacks Ukraine, the aggressor is Russia.
16:48When the United States and Israel attack Iran, the aggressors are the United States and Israel.
16:52And, you know, top officials, Costa, von der Leyen, Kallas have not been able to say this and to follow
16:58up.
16:58Because obviously, once you have this, you need to follow up with actions.
17:01So what should they be saying and doing right now?
17:03Well, first of all, they should have condemned the war. They should have condemned the war crimes.
17:08You know, imagine that you've got 160 people killed in a strike on a school in Iran,
17:14and the European Union is not able to condemn this. Imagine that.
17:18They should have condemned the genocidal rhetoric of President Trump last night, saying,
17:23I'm going to blow up a country, I'm going to end the civilization. Of course, you should react.
17:26And they should have favored diplomacy. Because what have we seen? We've seen that China and Pakistan
17:31have basically taken diplomacy in their hands, have said, we're going to, you know,
17:35bring about this ceasefire by putting Iran and the United States around the table. So this is incredible.
17:40The European Union has done nothing, no diplomatic efforts whatsoever for a crisis that not only
17:45is violating human rights, is violating international law, but it was also violating our interests.
17:50You know, people see the gas prices going up and they see that their European leaders are basically,
17:55you know, on a Easter holiday.
17:56Well, Kayakalas, I understand, is in Saudi Arabia today, but just the Hungarian elections are coming up this weekend.
18:02How do you feel about J.D. Vance's trip this week to Budapest and also blaming Brussels bureaucrats?
18:07Well, it's not a surprise. You know, it's in the National Security Strategy of the United States
18:11that was published a few months ago, where they openly say, we're going to intervene in Europe,
18:16supporting so-called patriotic forces. So influencing basically the elections inside,
18:21you know, it's direct interference. Something the United States have been doing in many countries,
18:25you know, they've been doing this in Africa, Latin America, and they're now doing it openly
18:28as well in Europe. So I'm not surprised. I'm, of course, very concerned. I'm also very concerned
18:32that when we speak about, also in the parliament, but also with the commission, about foreign
18:37interference, it's often about Russia, it's often about other countries, but it's very rarely about
18:40the United States. Well, this interference is now open, it's brazen, it's, it's, you know,
18:45unapologetic. So I think we need to take this seriously. And we need to be saying, guys,
18:48these United States, they are not an ally.
18:51Okay, Marc Bottenga, MEP there from the left. Thank you so much for joining us here this morning
