Macron on Trump’s tariff threats:

Everyone should remain calm. We shouldn’t let ourselves be intimidated.

Polish Prime Minister Tusk:

Appeasement is always a sign of weakness. Europe cannot afford to be weak - neither against its enemies, nor ally.

Appeasement means no results, only humiliation. European assertiveness and self-confidence have become the need of the moment.

As the EU seeks unity against renewed pressure from Trump, tensions between France and Germany are growing.

Paris worries Berlin is asserting itself as Europe’s dominant power, while Germany is frustrated by French resistance on key issues such as the EU-Mercosur trade deal, stalled joint defense projects, and limited French support for Ukraine.

Their contrasting styles toward Trump — Macron favoring tough retaliation, Merz preferring dialogue — further expose divisions, compounded by Germany’s own coalition infighting.

The US special envoy for Syria, Tom Barrack, sharply confronted SDF commander Mazloum Abdi during a closed-door meeting in Erbil just one day before a historic ceasefire was announced between the Syrian government and the SDF.

During the meeting, Barrack accused Abdi of trying to involve Israel in Syria’s internal conflict, warning that such a move would be unacceptable and dangerous.

“You are trying to drag Israel into the conflict, and this will not happen,” Barrack reportedly told Abdi.

Barrack warned that any attempt to draw Israel in would risk “destruction” and could create serious friction between Türkiye and Israel, two of Washington’s key regional allies.

Sources said Barrack was openly frustrated with Abdi for delaying the implementation of a March 2025 agreement that was supposed to integrate the SDF into the Syrian army by the end of 2025.

He accused the SDF leadership of stalling and relying on outside powers rather than adapting to Syria’s new political reality.

Abdi was accused of “stalling, failing to implement the agreement with the Syrian government, and relying on foreign powers.”

Barrack also told Abdi that he was still behaving as if Bashar al-Assad remained in power, despite the collapse of the former regime.

“You still want to deal with the situation as if Bashar al-Assad is ruling Syria,” Barrack said.

“There is a fundamental change; Damascus is our partner today in the fight against terrorism.”
