🌊Every surfer knows you need to ride the wave — not fight it.

Eight months in, Europe is still struggling to craft a coherent response to Trumponomics. The way forward: stay calm, stay united, and reform.

"[The first chips act] put an emphasis on manufacturing [...] but there are also other parts of the supply chain [...] How we can cultivate those niches and how we leverage them is something that needs to be discussed" -@chiaramalaponti in @politico

The EU ceded far less than Japan, Malaysia, Cambodia & others in new US trade deals — but why Asia accepted such strict terms is unclear. Brussels should be wary if Washington brings similar demands to Europe, says @agathedemarais in @foreignpolicy

Report from @TGehrke_and @jankaoertel calling for the EU to use the anti coercion instrument against China over rare earths

Points to chokepoints Europe could use:

-older DUV machines
-airplane components
-high precision bearings
-powdered superalloys

Last week the 🇳🇱 government invoked the Goods Availability Act to stabilise chipmaker Nexperia & cut risks of dependence on 🇨🇳. This case should remind Europeans to accelerate the build-up of their own trade & tech tools, says Herman Quarles van Ufford.

Beijing is turning its rare earth monopoly into a weapon. The EU needs to treat this as the emergency that it is and unleash its anti-coercion shield to bring China to the negotiating table, write @TGehrke_ & @oertel_janka @ecfr.

The Trump administration poses massive challenges to Europe. For the EU, the best response to baffling Trumponomics is to keep calm and carry on. European policymakers should adopt a self-help mindset, writes @AgatheDemarais @ECFRGeotech

My take on EU steel tariffs in this @dwnews piece by @anchalvohra: Europe is sending a message to the US, hoping to get a quota exemption from American punitive tariffs, but this will anger other steel exporters to the EU.

The United States, not Europe, will be the biggest loser from Trump's trade wars.

🦛Hippos may look calm, but their unpredictable and ferocious charges make them the deadliest mammals alive. Trump’s 2nd term feels the same for Europe. @agathedemarais @ecfr explains how the EU can channel its “inner naturalist” to manage it:

Spoke to @ntvde about Trump's fear of Chinese retaliation over tariffs and his preposterous dream of a "reverse Kissinger": there is absolutely nothing the US can offer Moscow that would distance Russia from China: Putin is just too dependent on Xi.

Europe's big, beautiful strategy for Trumponomics should use this turbulent moment to push through controversial economic reforms, such as leveraging access to the EU market for digital services & increasing the global role of the euro. #HablamosDeEuropa

Trade is not the only important policy of Trumponomics. What are the other essential topics? Why should the EU policy makers focus on investment and financial fields? Listen to @AgatheDemarais @ECFRPower #HablamosDeEuropa
