EU chief says it's time for Europe's 'independence moment' faced with war and major power tensions
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."
"The European Union's most powerful official warned Wednesday that Europe is battling against a series of threats posed by Russia, new global trade challenges and even other major world powers and must stake claim to its independence. In a State of the Union speech, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced new measures to help Ukraine fight off Russia's full-scale invasion, and she called for trade restrictions and sanctions on Israel over the war in Gaza."

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen warned that Europe faces threats from Russia, growing global trade challenges and other major powers and must assert its independence. She announced measures to help Ukraine resist Russia's full‑scale invasion, urged trade restrictions and sanctions on Israel over the Gaza war, and defended a trade deal with the United States accepting a 15% duty rate for most European exports.
