Europe Today: Trump claims Russia-Ukraine energy truce as AI slowdown rattles markets
Global tech stocks have slid after AI leaders called for a development slowdown. Also on the show: Trump's claim that Ukraine and Russia agreed to halt strikes on energy targets, an interview with Commission Executive Vice-President Roxana Mînzatu, and a 2026 State of the Union preview.
Donald Trump has declared Ukraine and Russia have reached an energy truce, despite the sharp rise in fuel prices globally. This claim has been met with skepticism, given the ongoing conflict between the two nations. In Doha, Qatar, attacks by Yemen's Houthis have killed over a dozen civilians in southern Saudi Arabia. Meanwhile, European Commission Vice-President Roxana Mînzatu and Member of the European Parliament Brando Benifei have discussed the significance of Ursula von der Leyen's upcoming State of the Union speech, which is being hailed as the most consequential of her mandate.
