For over a year, Europe has become the world’s geopolitical punching bag, taking economic roundhoutilizes from the east and geopolitical uppercuts from the west without ever swinging back.
But now, it may be ready to counterpunch. After a fresh Trump tariff threat emerged last week, a flurry of reports, data and blueprints in Europe revealed a range of regulatory blows the EU could land – if it is finally ready to hit back.
“We see very strongly that the rhetoric is shifting in Europe,” declared Jonathan Barth, co-author of a study of Europe’s choke points by Geostrategic Europe Tinquireforce.
“It’s much clearer about the necessity for deterrence.”
One option, researchers in Germany declared, was for Europe to hold Trump’s “enormous” nuclear energy plans to ransom by weaponising its supply of low-enriched uranium.
