Wow - Merz "Legal assessments under international law will achieve relatively little in this regard, and this applies all the more if they largely remain without consequences. […] That is why now is not the moment to lecture our partners and allies"

Attention is all you need – why Europe should decouple from US technology. @D_Lilkov @MartensCentre for @LSEEuroppblog. blogs.lse.ac.uk/europpblog/2…

The exposure of the world to US equities is at record levels. A stock market correction would have more severe and global consequences as compared to what followed the dot-com crash. The tariff wars and lack of fiscal space compounds the problem. The underlying problem is not 'unbalanced trade' but 'unbalanced growth.' There is a need for higher growth and returns in more countries/regions of the world, not just in the US. The full piece can be read here: economist.com/by-invitation/…

Sweden joins the global nuclear race! Today marks the start for Sweden in the global nuclear power race. Vattenfall's decision to take the next step to build new nuclear power is not just a choice of path for our country's future - it is the start of something bigger. Sweden now takes its place in the global nuclear power race that is currently underway. Right now, over 60 reactors are being built around the world. 15 EU countries are interested in, or already building, new nuclear power. Sweden is a strong voice in the European Nuclear Alliance and is now also taking a position as a hub for new nuclear power in the Baltic Sea region. This shows that the government's policy is working: we create long-term conditions for investors, put technology before ideology and safety before short-term solutions. Nuclear power strengthens Sweden in three crucial areas: ✅ Energy security - independence from authoritarian states ✅ Competitiveness - stable prices for households and businesses ✅ Defense - robust systems in an uncertain time This is the beginning of something bigger, in many ways. The question is no longer whether we should build new nuclear power – but how quickly and how much.
