And that was just the start of what was likely to be a multi-hour meeting with plenty of diatribes and ripostes. Among the expected attendees: Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, a top aide to Russian President Vladimir Putin. 

Several heads of state and government — some from allies of Ukraine but others neutral — are also planning to speak. Among the chief diplomats on the schedule is Secretary of State Antony Blinken.

SPAIN REJECTS EUROPEAN UNION'S 38% TARIFFS ON CHINESE EVs...In this video, we explore Spain’s unexpected decision to reject the European Union’s proposed 38% tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles (EVs), revealing growing divisions within the continent. While the EU aims to protect its automotive industry from the rising influence of Chinese EVs, Spain has chosen a different path, prioritizing its economic ties with China. With Spanish exports to China increasing by 12% in early 2024 and trade between the two nations surging, Spain is reshaping its foreign policy to preserve this crucial relationship. The stakes are high as Spain's automotive industry, the second largest in Europe, now faces new challenges amidst increased competition from Chinese EVs. Analysts argue that Spain’s decision may lead to short-term gains but could expose the country to long-term risks, including disruptions in its agricultural sector, which heavily depends on exports to China. We examine the broader implications of this move for Europe’s automotive sector, Spain’s rural economy, and the EU’s relationship with China. How will Spain’s choice to prioritize trade with China impact its standing within the EU? Could this decision trigger a larger divide within Europe, with other nations rethinking their economic policies toward China? Join us for an in-depth look at the potential fallout from Spain’s decision and what it means for the future of Europe’s industrial competitiveness, trade policies, and global alliances.
