Q: What do you think of the idea of placing Russian assets frozen in the EU under U.S. control? Chancellor Merz: These are assets that are frozen in Europe, and they should remain frozen in Europe. This is our business, and we decide on it.

The author argued that British media had misrepresented the debate over the Green Party and Zionism by treating the policy as antisemitic, which they said was plainly untrue. They added that Judaism should not be conflated with the Israeli government. #GreenParty #Zionism #Antisemitism #GB #IL

EU leaders say that Canada and Ukraine may become 'associate members' of the EU. Do citizens get a say on EU expansion? https://t.co/vIir6t2JBi #EUExtension #Canada #Ukraine #CA #UA
Burnham should know better. That is a very serious diplomatic misstep.

The future of Ireland will be decided by the people of Ireland, not whoever occupies Downing Street. Andy Burnham’s comments on a referendum on Irish unity were anti-democratic & completely at odds with the Good Friday Agreement. Sinn Féin made that clear to him directly this https://t.co/ufDMW7clIf #IrishUnity #GoodFridayAgreement #Democracy #IE #GB

Off the table. But for how long? There is provision for a referendum in the Good Friday Agreement which means that the idea cannot be ‘off the table’ indefinitely. #GoodFridayAgreement #Referendum #NorthernIreland #IE #GB

This is a significant breech of the Good Friday Agreement. A foundation stone of the GFA is that the people of the north would decide. The GFA is an international treaty & should be defended by our government. Dont hold your breath... https://t.co/XS6A06MPiX #GoodFridayAgreement #GFA #NorthernIreland #GB #IE

I was shocked to see the devastating flooding in Nepal. Our condolences go to all who have lost loved ones. My Department is monitoring the situation closely and stands ready to provide consular assistance to any Irish citizens impacted. #NepalFloods #Condolences #IrishCitizens #NP #IE

My thoughts and prayers go to the victims of the horrific attack on the Pride parade in Berlin last night. Hate or violence can never be tolerated. This attack goes against everything this celebration, and the EU stands for. #PrayForBerlin #Pride #StopTheViolence #DE #EU

Deeply shocked by the attack at Berlin’s Christopher Street Day last night. Our thoughts are with the victims and their loved ones. We wish the injured a quick recovery. Pride celebrates love, tolerance and diversity. 🇮🇪 will continue to advocate for these values @dfatirl #BerlinPride #LoveIsLove #StandWithVictims #DE #IE

16000 asylum seekers arrived at Dublin Airport without passports since 2020. This is being done in the main to frustrate the application process. The gov should ensure that photos are taken of all passports of non citizens before they step on the plane. https://t.co/315ttE983D #AsylumSeekers #DublinAirport #ImmigrationPolicy #IE

Anyone who fell for the line that ships could slip through the Strait by turning AIS off looks very silly this morning. US Navy vessels cannot protect against missiles either. Nothing has changed about Iran’s ability to control the Strait. 🇺🇸🇮🇷🚢 #StraitOfHormuz #Iran #USNavy #US #IR

Special relationship and all that. The UK left the EU to be sooooo ... independent ... it's now a vassal state where Washington announces things about their PM. Congratulations. #UKPolitics #Independence #VassalState #UK #EU #US

Can someone explain this to me? Mass murdering civilians is okay as there is a war, he says and Israel says. There was a war from 1939-1945. There was a war on October 7th. There's a war now so are Israel civilians fair game for us all now? Isn't that their own logic? #WarLogic #CivilianSafety #IsraelPalestine #IL

So the 'deal' now leaves Israel outside the US sphere of influence, and Iran empowered and undeterred. It's not an 'own goal'. It is a forfeiture. #Israel #Iran #USForeignPolicy #IL #US #IR

Agreed. This seems to be a bend on the road for NATO, probably with no going back to the comfortable transatlantic relationships of the past. #NATO #TransatlanticRelations #Geopolitics #N/A

Why would anyone invest in a country with, basically, no secure property rights, investor rights and governance? Under a deal that a serial bankruptcy producer penned? #InvestSmart #PropertyRights #GovernanceMatters #N/A
