In the 20th century, America saved Europe from dictatorships. Will the 21st century see the opposite happen?

The 21st century could then be Europe's time. An era in which Europeans can live freely, be respected and in peace in a society organised first and foremost around the human person, as opposed to ideologies, brute force and irrationality.We can be an example for a world that can be saved from its eternal failings. And perhaps an opportunity for Americans who reject the current trend, so that they can reconnect with Europeans, from whom, after all, they are in part descended.

These are a few

Responses to the Turnberry trade agreement between Donald Trump and Ursula von der Leyen on 27 July (formalised in an EU-US statement published on 27 August) did not mince words: ‘shame’, ‘submission’, ‘vassalage’, ‘humiliation’, and even the...

Central bank digital currencies mark a major shift in the global monetary balance, in the face of the rise of cryptocurrencies and private stablecoins. They give governments back control over money creation, strengthen financial security and promote economic innovation. For Europe, the digital euro is both a tool of sovereignty and a geopolitical lever designed to reduce dependence on the dollar, protect the financial system and assert its role in the new global monetary order.

The publication of the US Security Strategy on 5 December confirms what was already apparent: this President of the United States considers Europe to be in decline and, in order to reverse its policies, intends to promote nationalist opposition in the Member States.

In the face of Russian aggression, it has been able to unite, impose sanctions and effectively help Ukraine. Stopping self-denigration would help Europeans to strengthen their influence and credibility.
