Europe is under pressure from all sides. To remain influential, it must move beyond its psychology of weakness & be prepared to take risks.

The upcoming NATO summit in Ankara threatens to revolve around the same question again: how do we keep Trump on board?
Europe should focus less on managing Washington & more on building its own credible deterrence, argues @sbeverts.

How can Europe make critical raw material production financially viable outside China?
A key question at the launch of @joristeer 🆕 Chaillot Paper.
A recurring theme was that Europe has long been aware of the risks but has moved too slowly. Time to turn awareness into action.

Director @sbeverts joined the EU Military Committee 25th anniversary panel. Amid Russia's aggression & growing uncertainty over US security guarantees, is the future of #EUDefence integration or continued EU-NATO complementarity? w/ @KubiliusA, @ChairmanEUMC & @benedettabertiw.

(1/19) Europe finally seems ready to act against China’s predatory economic policies (Industrial Accelerator Act, etc)…
Great! But beware: Beijing can escalate much further in derailing European defence and other industries…
Its critical raw material weapon remains intact…

The idea that Hormuz can be reopened by force is an illusion, negotiations are unavoidable, argues @sbeverts. The EU has a track record negotiating with Iran & can lead a diplomatic coalition. Time to move from principles to action. iss.europa.eu/publications/c…

As Iran-US negotiations have failed, this is Europe’s moment to lead diplomatically again, says Director @sbeverts.

This is the right spirit.
But we should ask for the return of US arms donations to Ukraine and serious pressure on Russia.
The idea being that we play hardball for common security goals - freedom of navigation/resisting aggression - not our own economic interests.
Mar 15
If the US is asking European and Asian allies to send their navies to the Strait of Hormuz, they should consider demanding an immediate cessation of all US tariffs on them in return. I don't think Trump would hesitate to make that demand, if the situations were reversed.

It’s not Europe’s war but the chaos in the Middle East is directly affecting our interests.
Good to discuss with @euronews what Europe’s options are to go from bystander to actor:

"In the five stages of grief, Europe is still too stuck in denial". Agree with @sbeverts observation. To remain relevant, #EU must skip the denial, anger, bargaining, and depression phases, accept the new realities and act with even greater confidence. iss.europa.eu/activities/new…

Proud to take part in the EU Ambassadors Conference this week and contribute to key policy debates. Great exchanges with @sbeverts on navigating EU–China relations, and with @joristeer on strengthening economic security in times of conflict.

China: the EU should speak less & do more
Great discussion at the launch of our new report offering a fresh perspective on 🇪🇺🇨🇳relations: Beijing is more fragile than we think. Europe has leverage - if it chooses to use it. With Tomas Baert, Trade Adviser to @vonderleyen.

A new report from the European Union Institute for Security Studies (EUISS), the EU’s official think tank, said “China’s weakness creates opportunities” for the bloc to use its chokepoints and leverage to bring Beijing to the negotiating table in a credible way.

Europe warned: weaponise EU market against China or face manufacturing collapse
My report on new research from @ruehlig & @Aligarciaherrer that says:
1. China's economy is not as strong as Europe fears
2. Europe has leverage, use it or lose it

Many people say China is all powerful and there is little Europe can do to shape its choices.
New @EU_ISS report argues that is analytically wrong and politically defeatist. We should use reverse dependencies and leverage based diplomacy to protect European interests. How? ⤵️
#China is often seen as an unstoppable economic power. But Beijing is also increasingly fragile.
New Chaillot Paper by @Aligarciaherrer & @ruehlig argues the EU has more leverage than it thinks - and should use it strategically ➡️ ow.ly/1p0650Yq7EC
