EU Council Summit dominated by trade issues, armed conflicts
International conflict and economic uncertainty are set to dominate the agenda at the European Council Summit in Brussels. EU leaders have gathered for talks on Israel, Gaza, Ukraine and the EU’s tariff dispute with the US.
Meeting in Brussels on Thursday 26 June, European leaders signed a joint declaration on defence that "emphasizes the need to continue to substantially increase spending on European defence and security, and to invest better together." Among the other topics on the agenda of this summit: Ukraine's accession to the EU and the situation in Gaza.
