Yesterday at the 2026 World Economic Forum in Davos, Belgian Prime Minister Bart De Wever shook things up by warning that the United States has crossed a red line with Europe 🌐👀.
De Wever argued that the European Union has been too reliant and lenient toward the US, and that it's time to draw firmer boundaries. "We must tell the US it has crossed a red line," he said, adding that the EU and the US must choose to either stand together or part ways.
This candid message highlights growing tensions in transatlantic ties, sparking debates on whether Europe should push for more independence in areas like tech regulations, trade deals, and security partnerships. For young professionals in South and Southeast Asia, these dynamics matter: they influence global markets, digital policies, and the future of international cooperation.
What's next? Keep an eye on upcoming EU summits and US diplomatic visits—decisions there could reshape the balance between two of the world's biggest players. 🌏✨
