EU Summit Tackles Russia, US Tariffs, Middle East | JQJO

EU leaders will meet Thursday to discuss increased sanctions on Russia, counter US tariffs, and address Middle East conflicts. The summit follows a NATO meeting where defense spending increases were agreed upon, despite tensions with President Trump. Ukraine's situation and potential new sanctions on Russia will be key discussion points, alongside concerns about rising energy prices and Trump's trade threats. Internal EU disagreements on Israel policy and climate leadership versus military investment will also be addressed. The summit's conclusions will shape the EU's agenda for the coming months.
