00:13Dzień dobry, jest Friday 24 Juli.
00:18Jestem Mariet Gwyn.
00:19I'm Mariet Gwyn.
00:19I'm Mariet Gwyn.
00:19You're watching Europe Today.
00:21Your morning dose of European news and analysis live here on Euronews.
00:26Coming up today, the US administration is imposing a fresh wave of tariffs of between 10 and 12.5%
00:34on imports from around 80 trading partners, including the EU, UK, Canada and Japan.
00:41The move marks another escalation in President Donald Trump's trade agenda as he sidesteps a Supreme Court ruling earlier this
00:49year that struck down many of his previous tariffs.
00:52We speak to the EU's top lawmaker on trade, Bernd Lange.
00:57And in other news, oil prices have spiked again, hitting $100 per barrel for the first time since May as
01:04the Tehran-backed Houthi rebels strike tankers in the Red Sea.
01:09US President Donald Trump has said he will hold Iran responsible for those attacks and that he is considering launching
01:16a massive attack on the country.
01:19And at least 20,000 people have been evacuated from their homes as wildfires spread in the southwest of France.
01:28Spain and Italy are also battling wildfires as the heat continues to grip southern Europe.
01:36But first, we're going straight to our top story this morning.
01:39US President Donald Trump is imposing a new wave of tariffs on trading partners, including a 10% duty on
01:47the EU.
01:47The European Commission has said these tariffs are in line with the EU-US trade deal struck last year.
01:54The US administration has also reacted to the EU's €890 million fine on Google yesterday with Trade Representative Jameson Greer
02:02saying that the EU is driving massive uncertainty for US exporters and jeopardizing the EU-US trade deal struck a
02:11year ago.
02:12Well, Bernd Lange is the European Parliament's top lawmaker on trade and was the lead negotiator on the EU-US
02:20trade pact.
02:20He's been in Washington this week and I caught up with him earlier this morning and I started by asking
02:26him where Trump's new tariffs leaves the EU-US trade deal.
02:31In principle, I guess, with this new tariffs, we respect the deal.
02:37And this was also one of my major tasks for this week in Washington to convince everybody, regardless what else
02:47is in the air, that we stick to the deal.
02:49Yet, you know, this many would say is arbitrary.
02:54Many would say that Trump is sidestepping Congress, sidestepping the Supreme Court's ruling to find new ways to impose tariffs.
03:01Does that worry you that there will be more fresh rounds of levies targeting the EU again?
03:08I think you are quite right.
03:12So Trump and the administration are looking always to solutions for some kind of basis.
03:19So now this forced labor issue so that we as Europeans are not respecting the fight against forced labor is
03:25crazy.
03:26We have a wonderful legislation even stronger than the United States has.
03:31But nevertheless, it's not my job to judge about that.
03:35I guess the courts in the United States will judge about that.
03:38And I hope that after the midterms in November, the Congress will take over a little bit more like it
03:46is written down in the Constitution of the United States.
03:49Article 1, paragraph 8, trade policy is in the hands of the Congress.
03:56So I hope this will give also additional stability.
04:01The US administration has fiercely criticized an EU decision to fine Google under its digital rules yesterday.
04:09Jameson Greer, the trade representative, saying this jeopardizes the EU-US trade deal, calling also for a ceasefire, suggesting that
04:17the EU-US are in some kind of trade war.
04:21Do you fear more retaliation now from the US?
04:25More or less than all of my talks here in Washington, this DMA and DSA, the digital regulation in Europe,
04:34has played a role.
04:36And there was a little bit of fear that because of the fine against Google, this tariff regime starting today
04:45would change.
04:46Luckily not.
04:48But the statement from Ernestine Greer was quite clear and a lot of others talked in the same direction.
04:59But, of course, for us, it's not mixed.
05:02So we have the tariff, the deal of Scotland, and we have some regulation where everybody, not only US companies,
05:10but also Europeans or whatever, Indian companies, has to respect it.
05:15And this I try to make clear as well.
05:19But nevertheless, DMA and DSA is in the focus in the United States.
05:25And to be honest, I expect that some action will come.
05:32The EU's top trade lawmaker burned Lange there.
05:37Moving on now, the EU has agreed a new round of sanctions against Russia after weeks of frantic negotiations.
05:44Our correspondent, Jorge Liborero, joins me now to discuss the final result, which I think we can say, Jorge, has
05:51been watered down.
05:51So tell us what's in and what's out.
05:53Yes, we're going to see the elements now on the screen of what's inside this package.
05:58And I want to highlight especially that the price cap on Russian oil has been frozen at $44 per barrel,
06:05which is good news for the European Commission.
06:07This is estimated to cost Russia 3.5 billion euros in the next 12 months.
06:13So an important measure.
06:15We see other elements now very financial, you know, very focused on the military complex as well.
06:21But I also have to say that several elements fell apart during the negotiations.
06:26Fisheries removed because of Portugal and Germany.
06:30Patriarch Kyrill removed because of Bulgaria.
06:33And an entry ban on Russian soldiers, which was to be the striking element of this package, was watered down
06:40into a legal basis because of objections from France and Italy.
06:45And, Jorge, Greece almost derailed this package.
06:47They were demanding exemptions.
06:49Did they get what they wanted?
06:50Interestingly, Greece won the battle because they did get the exemption to continue transport of Russian LNG after this year.
06:59This exemption comes with three conditions.
07:02The transport needs to happen to non-EU clients, needs to happen with contracts signed before the war, and needs
07:10to happen below volumes of 2025.
07:13So these conditions are meant to limit the derogation in practice.
07:18But at the same time, this is a major victory for Athens.
07:21It's a very controversial request.
07:23Indeed, Jorge.
07:23Very briefly, what are your main takeaways?
07:25You followed all the packages.
07:27This is the 21st.
07:28Your main takeaways.
07:29Yes.
07:30My main takeaways are the Commission is running out of ideas, as we saw with FISH.
07:35The second is that the threshold for economic pain is going down, as we saw with Greece and maritime transport.
07:40And the third one is that after Viktor Orban left Hungary, member states need to speak louder to defend their
07:46national interest.
07:48The veto power is still alive and kicking.
07:50Yes, indeed, Jorge.
07:51We did see that this week.
07:53Thank you so much for that analysis.
07:55And as we heard there, this latest package of sanctions has raised questions about how national economic interests could be
08:01undermining political will to keep tightening sanctions on Russia.
08:05Well, I'm now joined live by Ukraine's presidential commissioner for sanctions policy, Vladislav Vlasiuk.
08:11Very good to have you with us, sir.
08:13Listen, we know that limiting Russia's ability to generate revenues from energy is crucial.
08:19What do you make of the fact that we now have a country, Greece, which has been able to get
08:23an exemption and will continue to make revenue from shipping Russian LNG?
08:33I believe we might have some issues connecting to the presidential commissioner for sanctions there.
08:40Perhaps, Jorge, we can come back to you while we're waiting to reconnect to Kyiv there.
08:45So, as you said, this threshold for economic pain is going down.
08:50We've seen that with Greece in a different way with Bulgaria opposing the sanctioning of Patriarch Kirill.
08:55And you said you see this potentially becoming an issue as we move into the future.
09:00Now, looking to the 22nd package.
09:01There have been many packages of sanctions, Mary.
09:03We need to be honest here.
09:05And this is the fifth year of the war.
09:07So, member states are also tired of making that many sacrifices when it comes to their economy.
09:13And Russia used to be one of our largest trading partners.
09:16So, we need to keep that in mind of how much the economy has changed.
09:20Jorge, I believe we can cross back to Kyiv and to Ukraine's presidential commissioner for sanctions.
09:25So, I'm very sorry for the technical issues.
09:27Good to have you with us.
09:28So, first, can you tell us how you respond now to the fact that Greece has negotiated a special exemption
09:34to the sanctions package
09:35and will continue to make revenue from shipping Russian LNG?
09:46No, I believe we cannot connect with Vladislav Vlasiuk.
09:51Can you hear me, sir?
09:52Can we try once more?
09:56Yes.
09:57Yes.
09:58Good.
09:59Okay.
10:00Well, let's move on.
10:01We hope to bring back Vladislav Vlasiuk.
10:06Jorge, let's bring you in again.
10:08Glad to have you with me on my side this morning.
10:11Yes, I'm back.
10:11Always for sanctions available.
10:13Perhaps briefly on the fisheries issue.
10:16Has that now been completely discarded?
10:18Do you think there will be another attempt?
10:19It's an interesting question.
10:21I think for the time being they will not try again because it was shut down completely.
10:25And the commission doesn't like when their proposals are shut down in this way and then completely removed.
10:29They can tolerate that a proposal is watered down like other elements in this package, but they do not like
10:35when it's completely shut down.
10:36So I think for the time being fisheries, we're not going to hear Ursula von der Leyen talk about again
10:41Kot and Polak anytime soon.
10:44Okay, Jorge.
10:45Thank you so much.
10:46And we apologize for those technical issues to our viewers there.
10:49Now we're moving on because nine members of the European Parliament traveled to China this week in a bid to
10:56thaw ears of frozen relations between the EU institution and Beijing.
11:00But with a record trade imbalance and China accused of being an enabler of Russia's aggression in Ukraine, the visit
11:07raises as many questions as it hopes to answer.
11:09Our EU correspondent Angela Skugin spoke to European Parliament Vice President Javi López, who was part of that trip, and
11:17began by asking him why now.
11:20What we want is to relaunch our relations and defend the European interests, especially address our difference and explore and
11:28use our areas of cooperation.
11:30Obviously, multilateralism, the defense of the rules-based order, international law, the United Nations chapter, fight against climate change, and
11:40ensure that we have economic governance, that it's balanced, that it's stable, that it's full of certainty.
11:47It's in our mutual interest.
11:49But at the same time, we want to address our differences, especially the war in Ukraine, and how China could
11:56play a stronger role to find a solution and a peace after the brutal aggression, and obviously tackling trade and
12:06trade imbalance, that it's an important concern for the European public opinion, for the European economy, trying to ensure that
12:15we have full access to the Chinese.
12:16And maybe if we look at Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine and China's support for that, as well as
12:22the eye-watering trade deficit in China's favour, how did the MEPs on this trip communicate regarding these points, and
12:30was the message received? How did the Chinese react?
12:33We're extremely consistent during all our meetings repeating these two messages.
12:40The need of full implication of China on the resolution of a just peace for Ukraine, and especially underlining how
12:52the brutal invasion, illegal invasion, unjustifiable invasion of the Russian Federation to Ukraine is attacking all the European architecture of
13:03security.
13:04And at the same time, we also are backing, supporting, pushing in the ongoing negotiations that the European Commission has
13:15with China, with Commissioner Sefcovic, related to trade.
13:21A few weeks ago, they had an important meeting in Brussels with a joint press conference.
13:27This will continue this autumn, especially on October.
13:31And you mentioned that October deadline.
13:33This is the month allocated by the European Commission for Trade, Maros Sefcovic, to establish some kind of conclusion when
13:41it comes to this trade deficit.
13:43And the inference here is that if China doesn't come to the table, and if agreement isn't found, that the
13:49EU will act.
13:51You've been on the ground in China.
13:53How do you think that they will respond to these hardball tactics come October?
13:58Well, they have their arguments on that, about the application of the World Trade Organization rules.
14:05But we are insisting on our unsustainable reality for us, politically and economically, that it's this size, this volume of
14:16trade surplus of China, trade unbalanced, that it's one billion per day, that it has to be addressed.
14:24And we should find mechanism, solutions on this regard.
14:28And is the solution triggering the trade bazooka?
14:31Well, we have our negotiations ongoing, and what we expect is results and deliver solutions through these negotiations, through dialogue
14:41and cooperations.
14:45That was the European Parliament's Vice President, Javi López.
14:48And just like that, it's time for us to say goodbye for the summer.
14:53This is our final episode of Europe Today, before we take a short break.
14:57We've shared 155 mornings with you here on Euronews, so a big thank you goes to you, our viewers, for
15:05tuning in.
15:06We've brought you conversations with leaders, ministers and top lawmakers.
15:11So, before we go, let's take a look back at some of the moments that defined this season on Europe
15:17Today.
15:18That is absurd and ridiculous.
15:20Spain has a coherent foreign policy.
15:23We have supported Ukraine more than the United States.
15:26This is not a product to deregulate, this is a product to modernize.
15:30Really, Montenegro is doing very well.
15:33We have already approved the Working Party to start drafting the accession treaty.
15:38Dying flamingos, depressed turtles.
15:42Russia's losing ground on the battlefield.
15:44It's losing ground diplomatically.
15:46It was hoping for a long time to divide Europeans.
15:48We've seen exactly the opposite.
15:50And did you discuss Donald Trump's Board of Peace?
15:52Most European countries cannot join.
15:54We haven't seen Russia really taking the talk seriously.
15:58Russia keeps on bombing.
15:59When you don't have much, much money, invest wisely.
16:02This is the mother of all trade deals.
16:04It's something the commission loves to say.
16:06But four Europeans were watching Euronews today and they go, what does that mean?
16:09This is the largest trade deal ever.
16:12Why is Putin deciding to target Latvia in this hybrid war at this moment?
16:19Because he's losing in Ukraine.
16:20Simple.
16:21Yeah, Russia is sending its message that they want to continue this war.
16:25GDP per capita in Germany, the industrial giant of Europe, is now below that of the state of West Virginia.
16:32What I feel these days is that I'm more proud than ever to be European.
16:37But your party has been tinkering away at the Greendale, rolling back parts of the Green Deal.
16:42My party is the Ursula von der Leyen party.
16:43My party is the party who did the Green Deal.
16:45Being gay is not a choice, but being homophobic is a choice.
16:48I don't think we will go back to the times where things were more peaceful.
16:52I think in these situations everybody reacts more abruptly than usual.
16:56Yes, Russia is an enemy.
16:58They're attacking a European country.
16:59We think that 2026 should be the year when dictatorships are over.
17:04Trump is desperate for a deal.
17:06And they have maneuvered him.
17:07They've played him like a violin.
17:09Europe is the only playground within which member states, nations, even France, can actually play a significant role.
17:18Just a taste there of the voices we've heard on Europe today over the past months.
17:23And now our Europe editor, Maria Tadeo, joins me in the studio.
17:27Maria, good morning.
17:27It's been a busy season for you.
17:29What are your reflections?
17:31And look for all of us, Mered.
17:32And I think when we began to work on this show, Europe Today, and this revamp of Euronews,
17:38and Euronews undeniably has been a staple of European broadcasting now for more than three decades.
17:43But we know the world is changing.
17:44And we're seeing dramatic structural changes, very rough geopolitics.
17:50And we set out to answer two fundamental questions.
17:53And that is, what does it mean for Europe?
17:55And what does it mean for Europeans?
17:58And look, whether we did a good job or not, ultimately that belongs to our viewers and our readers.
18:04But I think when you look at that clip that you just played, it does show the commitment, the very
18:10hard work, the responsibility of our newsroom.
18:13We take our editorial standards incredibly seriously.
18:15We take our independence incredibly seriously.
18:18And we take this idea of putting a story from a very unique European perspective every day, 155 episodes.
18:24You know, that's a lot of work.
18:25We take it very seriously.
18:27And, of course, we can only thank our EU news team.
18:30That is the core of our operations here in Brussels.
18:33They broke news.
18:34They delivered stories.
18:35They committed to original reporting.
18:37Our team of correspondents, I think if you watch Europe today, you've seen them all across Europe talking to the
18:43right people and the right story that day.
18:45Some very, very difficult hours.
18:47Our capitals, and that is the joy of European news.
18:49Our very vast network of European correspondents all across the continent.
18:54Of course, our team that you don't see on camera, but they do a very important job behind the scenes.
18:59And that is our production, our technical team, our cameramen, our producers, digital producers, executive producers, Paul and Nico, Maeve,
19:07of course, our chief anchor who's been doing great work for us this season.
19:11And also this week in Dublin and our hair, makeup, the entire team that comes together to deliver a story
19:17and also capture this European zeitgeist.
19:20And, Merit, look, at this point, I cannot say too much.
19:23Ultimately, this is TV, but I got to tease it.
19:25We are in television.
19:26This is the business of TV.
19:28But we are working on new formats and new projects.
19:31We set out on a path, and we're going to double down on this path come September.
19:35We read and appreciate all the feedback that we get from our viewers, all the emails and suggestions that they
19:41make.
19:41We take all of this into account.
19:42And, look, we cannot wait to be back in September, and it's also been great to work with you.
19:46You're very talented.
19:47You have a great future ahead of you.
19:48So, you know, it's a privilege, and I'm very happy to have been on the show with all of you.
19:52Well, thank you so much to you as well, Maria, for all your leadership, of course.
19:56And that brings us to the end of this show.
19:59We'll be back, as Maria said, after the summer, ready to do it all again.
20:03Until then, on behalf of everyone here at Europe Today and Euronews, thank you for making us part of your
20:08mornings.
20:09And we'll see you very soon.
20:10Thank you.
20:12Thank you.
20:13Thank you.
