It opened on a bleak note, with a description of a world where decades-old certainties are crumbling and sweeping transformations are pitting nations against each other. &#8221;What has changed in these 100 days is the new sense of urgency. Because something fundamental has shifted,&#8221; she said in her address to reporters in Brussels. &#8221;Our European values \u2013 democracy, freedom, and the rule of law \u2013 are under threat. We see that sovereignty but also ironclad commitments are being called into question. Everything has become transactional.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>But, she quickly added, the dismal outlook should not be a reason to fall into despair and allow Europe&#8217;s fate to slip through its fingers and be written by someone else. Instead, she urged bolder and faster action to seize a &#8221;once-in-a-generation chance to build a stronger, more secure and more prosperous Europe.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In less than two months, Donald Trump&#8217;s return to the White House has proven exceedingly disruptive for Europe. The Republican has threatened to slap steep tariffs on EU-made goods, use military force and economic coercion to annex Greenland and retaliate against foreign regulations that curb Big Tech&#8217;s powers, among other things.<\/p>\n<p>Most worryingly for Brussels, his White House has bulldozed the transatlantic front on Russia&#8217;s war on Ukraine, launching negotiations with President Vladimir Putin without any coordination with Europe. Trump&#8217;s embrace of Russian talking points, his harsh rhetoric against Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and his recent decision to temporarily suspend military aid and intelligence-sharing with Ukraine have deeply rattled Europeans, who fear Washington and Moscow might thrash out a deal behind their backs.<\/p>\n<p>Despite everything that has happened, von der Leyen insists the US is still an ally but recognises a growing number of friction points between the two sides of the Atlantic. &#8221;In the face of adversity, the US and Europe have always been stronger together,&#8221; she said. &#8221;Yes, there are differences. We might have different views on some topics, but if you look at the common interests that we have, they always outweigh our differences. So I think it&#8217;s important that we work together (&#8230;) and find common avenues.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Von der Leyen called on Europe to do its &#8221;homework&#8221; and assume the responsibility of defending itself without being dependent on America, which is one of Trump&#8217;s most repeated grievances. &#8221;Being allies does not mean there&#8217;s an imbalance in the responsibility or the burden that has been shared,&#8221; she said. Asked if her Commission would seek to &#8221;de-risk&#8221; EU-US relations the same way it has done with EU-China relations, von der Leyen said: &#8221;A clear no.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/my-europe\/2025\/03\/09\/six-takeaways-as-ursula-von-der-leyen-marks-100-days-in-office\">Read more&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/my-europe\/2025\/03\/09\/six-takeaways-as-ursula-von-der-leyen-marks-100-days-in-office\">Euronews<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vau-viikkokatsaus\/six-takeaways-as-ursula-von-der-leyen-marks-100-days-in-office\/\">Six takeaways as Ursula von der Leyen marks 100 days in office<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[274,18174,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-138122","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-eu","tag-ursula-von-der-leyen-marks","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/138122","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=138122"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/138122\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=138122"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=138122"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=138122"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
