Europe Today: Trump tells countries to quit ICC, EU defence chief speaks to Euronews
EU defence chief speaks to Euronews as US President Donald Trump calls on every country belonging to the International Criminal Court to quit. Meanwhile, as war in the Middle East disrupts global oil supplies and refining costs soar, European consumers are feeling the pinch more and more.
Donald Trump is urging all countries affiliated with the International Criminal Court (ICC) to withdraw from it, while the United States is also planning stringent sanctions to weaken the court and its judges. The European Union's (EU) defence chief, Andrius Kubilius, discussed the matter with Euronews. Meanwhile, Chloé Ridel, a French socialist in the European Parliament, shares her thoughts on the issue during an interview with the network.
The ongoing conflict in the Middle East is causing significant fluctuations in global oil supplies, resulting in a surge in refining costs and ultimately impacting European consumers. Expert Osama Rizvi, from Primary Vision, provides an analysis of the current situation. Additionally, Kamal Amakrane, the Managing Director of the UN’s Rising Nations Initiative, speaks with Euronews about a groundbreaking UN declaration aimed at preserving the statehood and international standing of nations whose territories may become uninhabitable due to rising sea levels.
The daily briefing by Euronews anchors Méabh Mc Mahon and Stefan Grobe is available on TV, their website, and across digital platforms such as YouTube, Facebook, X, and Instagram, every weekday at 8 am Brussels time.
