Donald Trump was elected by Americans to defend the interests of Americans.
The question we, as Europeans, must ask ourselves is, are we ready to defend the interests of Europeans?

"Het succes is vooral de verdienste van mensen achter de schermen. Het voorzitterschap is in de eerste plaats het werk van ambassadeurs, diplomaten en ambtenaren."

Belgium a failed state? Don’t make me laugh - it’s one of the most successful in the world. My latest column for @BrusselsTimes hitting back at Belgium-bashers who delight in trash-talking the country. brusselstimes.com/1031799/be…

"Ik vind het onwezenlijk dat we zo tolerant blijven voor tabak. Er zijn nog een miljoen Belgen van 15 jaar en ouder die roken. De overheid mag agressiever optreden: een verbod op openbare plaatsen, ook op caféterrassen. En tabak moet véél duurder worden." demorgen.be/a-b41301bc

Yesterday, in Ghent, we organised a symposium on the future of agriculture, where we brought together experts, policy makers and sector representatives. The timing of that reflection moment could not have been better. 🚜🚜🚜
