🌊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. Read @AgatheDemarais's @ecfr policy brief: ecfr.eu/publication/ride-the…

"[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 politico.eu/article/micro-ch…

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 foreignpolicy.com/2025/11/12…

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. ecfr.eu/article/when-the-chi…

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 bit.ly/4mmwh1o

🦛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: foreignpolicy.com/2025/09/24…

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 ecfr.eu/publication/ride-the…
