  • Can Europe save the world's war crimes court from Trump?

    Can Europe save the world's war crimes court from Trump?
    Oct 23 2026
    U.S. President Donald Trump has the world’s war crimes court in his crosshairs. By sanctioning the entire International Criminal Court, his administration is threatening its ability to function. Europe has rushed to the court’s defense — but can it actually protect it from American financial power? And how far is the European Union willing to go to confront Washington when it still relies so heavily on the U.S. for its own security? Host Sarah Wheaton is joined by European Parliament lawmaker Dirk Gotink and Atlantic Council sanctions expert Lize de Kruijf to discuss Europe’s options, its dependence on the U.S. dollar and American technology and whether the EU can stand up for international justice.

    Who speaks for Europe in the Ukraine peace talks?
    Oct 22 2026
    As the U.S. pushes to revive peace talks between Ukraine and Russia, a question is causing tensions in Brussels: Who actually speaks for the EU? Zoya Sheftalovich and Sarah Wheaton examine the growing influence of Ursula von der Leyen’s powerful chief of staff, Björn Seibert, and why Finnish President Alexander Stubb may be eyeing a bigger role. Then, have you ever received a suspicious message from Booking.com? The European Commission has launched an investigation into whether the travel platform is doing enough to protect customers from scams and fraudulent listings.

    Brussels goes looking for billions to fund Ukraine
    Oct 21 2026
    With Washington's support for Kyiv increasingly uncertain, Brussels is looking to its allies to help keep Ukraine afloat. The price tag: €70 billion. On today's show, Zoya Sheftalovich and Kathryn Carlson discuss how the EU hopes to persuade Canada, Britain and Japan to help foot the bill — and whether closer trade and defense ties could be part of the bargain. Then, Germany's far-right AfD leader Alice Weidel is in Strasbourg to present her vision for a radically different European Union. And who owns your face and voice in the age of AI? As deepfakes become increasingly convincing, MEPs are pushing for new protections. If you have a question or comment, don’t hesitate! Message us on our WhatsApp here or at +32 491 05 06 29. Articles mentioned in this episode: “AfD’s Alice Weidel to unveil plan to downsize the EU.” “Socialists push for EU law on deepfakes.” “EU to press Canada and UK for more Ukraine funding.” This episode was produced by Dionis Sturis and Saga Ringmar.
