🇨🇦🇪🇺 CANADA ADDS ECONOMIC WEIGHT TO EUROPE My argument is simple: Europe should think bigger — and Canada belongs in that strategic European future.

Putin has turned energy into a weapon against Europe. My answer: ban all Russian imports and stop financing the Kremlin’s war machine. No Russian oil. No Russian gas. No Russian coal. No Russian uranium. No Russian metals, diamonds, fertiliser or other strategic imports that keep https://t.co/iNpvCCJ3Rb #StopRussianImports #EnergyWeapon #NoMoreRussianOil #RU #EU

De recentelijke nucleaire samenwerkingsovereenkomst tussen de Verenigde Staten en Saoedi-Arabië roept belangrijke vragen op over non-proliferatie en kan mogelijk leiden tot een nucleaire wapenwedloop in de Golfregio, vooral gezien de zorgen over Iran's uraniumverrijkingscapaciteit en de ambitie van Saoedi-Arabië om kernenergie te ontwikkelen. #NucleaireDiplomatie #Niet-verspreiding #Midden-Oosten

🔴 En parlant d’atteinte aux intérêts vitaux de la Nation, épisode 3 : L’abandon du programme ASTRID. ASTRID était un projet du CEA de réacteur nucléaire de 4ᵉ génération à neutrons rapides, conçu notamment pour mieux valoriser les ressources en uranium et réduire les déchets à vie longue. ASTRID a été abandonné en 2019 sous la présidence Macron et le gouvernement Philippe. La France a ainsi perdu une partie de son avance technologique. #Nucléaire #Technologie #France

I call on the European Parliament, the European Commission and the European Council to adopt a European Graham Act now. Anyone who finances Putin’s war by purchasing Russian oil, gas, uranium or coal must face secondary European sanctions.

Pentagonul analizează posibilitatea unei operațiuni terestre de amploare în Iran pentru extragerea uraniului îmbogățit, ca alternativă la loviturile aeriene, având în vedere riscurile ridicate și dificultățile asociate cu complexele nucleare fortificate ale țării. #Iran #Pentagon #OperatiuneTerestra

Acordul nuclear care se conturează cu Arabia Saudită, peste capul Israelului, reprezintă un eșec strategic grav care ne pune în pericol securitatea. Îmbogățirea uraniului pe teritoriul saudit ar putea duce la o cursă regională a înarmărilor nucleare și la o pierdere periculoasă a controlului

Acordul dintre SUA și Arabia Saudită, care permite dezvoltarea de reactoare nucleare și îmbogățirea uraniului, a generat îngrijorări în Israel cu privire la o posibilă cursă a înarmării nucleare în Orientul Mijlociu, foști oficiali israelieni avertizând că aceasta ar putea amenința securitatea națională a Israelului. #acordnuclear #ArabiaSaudita #Israel

Statele Unite și Arabia Saudită au semnat un acord nuclear care permite regatului să dezvolte reactoare nucleare folosind tehnologie americană și să îmbogățească uraniu, cu garanții împotriva proliferării, ceea ce va întări relațiile comerciale și va crea locuri de muncă în SUA, în contextul tensiunilor regionale cu Iranul. #AcordNuclear #SUA #ArabiaSaudită

SUA și Arabia Saudită au semnat un acord de cooperare în domeniul energiei nucleare civile, care permite Arabiei Saudite îmbogățirea uraniului și construirea de reactoare nucleare cu tehnologie americană, marcând începutul unui parteneriat pe termen lung în acest sector strategic. #energieNucleara #SUA #ArabiaSaudita
