Last week today

This week in the European Parliament, Rihards Kols breaks down the headlines that matter – and those that got buried under the noise.

 

🔹 Why is the confiscation of frozen Russian assets still stalled? 

🔹 Mixed signals from the U.S. – sanctions remain, but talk of cooperation with Moscow resurfaces. 

🔹 Trump’s rhetoric on Ukraine – undermining unity or revealing future risks? 

🔹 EU defense industry – from “ReArm Europe” to “Readiness 2030”. 

🔹 The reality of EU migration policy reform. 

🔹 Trade tensions: China’s oversupply, European vulnerability, and tariff politics.

 

🎯 A strategic look behind the headlines – how global shifts impact Europe and Latvia.
