PARIS — Emmanuel Macron has lashed out against Donald Trump's decision to impose reciprocal tariffs on virtually every country, calling the move "brutal" and "unfounded" and proposing a temporary halt in future European investments in America.The pause, he said, should last "until we have clarified things with the United States.""What would be the message of having major European players start investing billions of euros in the American economy at the moment when they are hitting us?"

Bulgaria's government survives no-confidence vote brought by pro-Russia party
SOFIA — Bulgaria's government has survived a parliamentary vote of no-confidence brought by a pro-Russia opposition party over a supposed failure in the country's foreign policy.The motion brought by the Vazrazhdane party and backed by two small nationalist groups criticised the government’s pro-Western stance, its support for Ukraine and ongoing sanctions on Moscow.The move was defeated in the 240-seat parliament with 150 votes against and 54 in favour.Before the vote, analysts predicted the outcome, citing that the majority of Buglaria's lawmakers support the country's pro-European orientation.Bulgaria has been a member of the EU since 2007."For Vazrazhdane, the vote is a tool to amplify Russian narratives in the hybrid war against Bulgaria — a war Moscow wages...

Hungary says it will pull out of ICC as Orban hosts Israel’s Netanyahu 
BUDAPEST — Hungary will withdraw from the International Criminal Court (ICC), its government said Wednesday, as the country’s Prime Minister Viktor Orban welcomed Israeli Prime Minister and ICC fugitive Benjamin Netanyahu to Budapest.Netanyahu’s visit to Hungary marked the first time the Israeli leader stepped foot on European soil since the ICC issued an arrest warrant against him in May 2024.The court said it had “reasonable grounds” to believe Netanyahu bears criminal responsibility for war crimes including “starvation as a method of warfare” and “the crimes against humanity of murder, persecution, and other inhumane acts.”The ICC doesn’t have its own law enforcement powers, so it relies on its member states to make arrests and transfer suspects to the Hague.
