🇪🇺🇨🇳 The European car industry is going the way of Nokia in the cellphone industry.

EU carmakers currently have zero to very little foothold in the electrification or even hybridization technologies.

They have no competitive AI industry that's at the core of autonomous driving.

The geopolitical blunder of EU policy makers is making it worse. They antagonized China, which is a major component of EU automotive industry, both in market and manufacturing.

They are basically at war with Russia, which provided the EU with cheap energy and resources.

And yet, the EU politicians are STILL barking at China for no reason, despite their dire situation.

When the EU car industry implodes, they will just be a collection of failed states with a ton of recent migrants. Good luck, you people are going to need it.

🇳🇱🤝🇺🇸 The Dutch government sold Solvinity, to the American IT infrastructure service provider, Kyndryl.

Solvinity developed for the Dutch state the DigiD app which is used by state and local authorities to store information about every single Dutch citizen and business.

DigiD is a key part of the Dutch administrative state and contains banking information of all citizens and businesses, it offers financial services, it contains healthcare portals, medical records, health insurance claims & records, social security and other benefits, pension information and adjustments, public housing, car registration and driver information through RDW, childcare and family related allowances, voting information and overseas voting registration.

DigiD provides Government services at national level and municipal services like registrations and permits, legal matters such as court documents and fines, education related platforms such as DUO and student grants, criminal records, business registrations and administrative services for entrepreneurs and employment services such as UWV portals.

All of this information will sit now on American servers and the EU's personal data protection regulation, the GDPR, will no longer apply thus the data of Dutch citizens will be extremely vulnerable and could be sold by American corporations to the highest bidder.

Recall that Jewish billionaire, Larry Ellison, wanted to obtain the health records of every British citizen to "optimize" the services offered by the NHS. This relates to his much bigger plan of creating a personal unique digital ID for every person in the world to "help" governments worldwide to "optimize" and "improve" the services given.

Kyndryl's shareholders include Vanguard Capital, BlackRock, Neuberger Bergmann Group LLC and Fidelity Investments LLC.

🇨🇺💥💰 — The Cuban communist regime is tightening its control over accounts in dollars by prohibiting foreign companies from withdrawing or transferring foreign currency deposited in local banks, expanding a financial “corralito” that worsens the economic crisis on the island, with runaway inflation of 15%, chronic shortages of food and medicine, and an average salary of only 14 dollars per month that condemns 89% of families to extreme poverty.

🇺🇸🇺🇦 Washington is putting heavy pressure on Europe and Kiev to accept Trump’s plan, Financial Times reports.

The paper describes yesterday’s tense meeting between U.S. and European officials in Kiev, where the Americans made clear their proposal was “barely up for discussion.” Trump’s envoy, General Driscoll, warned that Washington would show little flexibility: “We’re not negotiating the details.”

One European diplomat called the atmosphere at the U.S. Embassy meeting “nauseating.”

According to participants, U.S. chargé d’affaires Davis told the room that while Washington had supported Ukraine’s war effort, “there are limits.” She pointed to clear signs that Russia’s industrial base is far stronger — and that it’s only a matter of time before Kiev is forced to cut a deal.

Driscoll was even more blunt: “It’s time to end this shit.”

He added that the U.S. military “loves Ukraine,” but its honest assessment is that Kiev is in a dire position — and that now is the best moment for peace.

Security guarantees are part of the American proposal, with further talks planned in the coming days. Davis and Driscoll insisted that Zelensky sign the agreement by Thursday. “We have a narrow window — President Trump wants peace now,” Driscoll said.

EU ambassadors called Washington’s message “shocking,” and some accused the U.S. of exploiting Zelensky’s political weakness amid corruption scandals to force an agreement.

Several diplomats described the U.S. proposal as a “strategic victory for Russia.” Davis objected, claiming that "Russia’s heavy losses don’t constitute a win."

European envoys argued that pressure on Russia should be increased instead of rushing into a deal. The Americans countered that Trump’s plan is “the best Ukraine can hope for.”
