00:13Bom dia, é dia 14 de setembro, eu estou Maive MacMahon e esse é Europe Today,
00:21o seu dia de dose de europeia e análise live aqui no Euronews.
00:25Coming up, Canada is not looking for, quote, associate membership of the European Union,
00:31despite media rumours circulating this weekend.
00:34Prime Minister Mark Carney will be in Strasbourg this week, though, as guest of honour in the European Parliament.
00:40This, as Donald Trump wraps up a long weekend in Ireland,
00:44where the US-Canada trade war and NATO challenges loomed large.
00:49We'll get the latest from our Shona Murray in Dublin.
00:51Meanwhile, Russian drones struck the Polish-Ukrainian border this weekend,
00:57including a petrol station just metres from Poland.
01:00A night train carrying well-known names, including Boris Johnson, from Kiev to London,
01:05was forced to evacuate.
01:07We'll hear exclusively from Latvia's Prime Minister Andres Kulbergs
01:10on the growing threat from Russia and the pressure facing Europe's eastern flank.
01:15Meanwhile, Sweden went to the polls on Sunday in a knife-edge election
01:20that could see the Social Democrats' leader, Magdalena Andersson, make a comeback.
01:24That's according to exit polls.
01:26We'll be crossing to Sweden for reactions.
01:29And the French political firebrand Marine Le Pen
01:32has launched her 2027 presidential campaign in Calais.
01:36Eight months before the big vote,
01:38Marine Le Pen is leading the polls,
01:40and EU governments are already looking at how to Le Pen-proof the bloc's agenda
01:45in case she wins.
01:47But first, to Dublin, where the US President Donald Trump has rounded up a two-day visit.
01:53While there, Donald Trump called for a united Ireland
01:56and blamed Ukraine for spiralling diesel prices.
02:00For more, we can go straight live to Ireland's capital of Dublin,
02:04where our correspondent Shona Murray is standing by for us.
02:07Shona, quite a twist there now, with Donald Trump calling for a united Ireland.
02:11What has the reaction been there?
02:15Good morning, Maeve.
02:16Well, something of a bit of a builderman.
02:17Not because he said it, because lots of government officials have said that
02:20Donald Trump frequently brings up a united Ireland to them.
02:24Has done since his first administration.
02:26He always says that north and south should be rejoined.
02:29But what was interesting is the frequency he said it.
02:31He said it here behind me at the US Ambassador's residence in the Phoenix Park.
02:34He said it after a meeting with the Prime Minister, the Taoiseach, the President.
02:37He said it on his golf course yesterday.
02:39So there was a bit of intent behind it.
02:41Just take a listen.
02:42I won't cause any problems.
02:44But I will value it.
02:45I'd love to see it unified.
02:47I have friends on both sides.
02:49Great people.
02:51They're Irish people.
02:52How can they be bad, right?
02:54It's going to happen eventually.
02:55So that's one of the occasions where he mentioned it.
02:57Now, we have to look at the context here.
02:59It's also, if there is a united Ireland,
03:02Northern Ireland has to leave the United Kingdom.
03:04Which is something the British government is very much dead against.
03:07And we know that the US and UK relations have been deteriorating
03:11because of the war in Iran.
03:12Because the United States President says that NATO and the UK
03:15abandoned the US when it was going after the Iranians.
03:19And we even mentioned this over the weekend.
03:21Once again, in that speech behind me here,
03:23he did talk about NATO and criticise NATO.
03:25And also, if you look at the wider context,
03:28we also know that the US and Canada are having real problems.
03:32They're having a very full-on trade war.
03:34Canada is even, as we saw reportedly over the weekend,
03:37looking for an associate membership of the European Union.
03:39The Canadian Prime Minister is going to be at the European Parliament in Strasbourg.
03:42So this could also be a bit of a, you know, a dig at the European Union as well.
03:47So there's also, we also have to just look at what Donald Trump is trying to do,
03:51not just the unification issue that he does also desire.
03:55Maeve?
03:56And tell us, Shona, about Trump's comments about Zelensky.
04:01Yeah, that's interesting.
04:03He also said in his golf course yesterday,
04:04he said he told Vladimir Zelensky to stop striking at Russian diesel infrastructure.
04:10We know the Ukrainians have been targeting Russian oil and energy infrastructure
04:14as part of their retaliation for the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
04:17Now, most experts would point to the fact that there's spiralling diesel and energy prices
04:21as a consequence of the war in Iran and not the war in Ukraine.
04:25But he's blaming Zelensky and the Ukrainians.
04:28Take a listen.
04:29Mr. Zelensky has to do one thing.
04:31He has to stop knocking out diesel fuel in Russia.
04:36Let him go after targets, but not diesel fuel,
04:38because he's causing a shortage of diesel fuel.
04:41This isn't done by the Middle East.
04:43This is done by what's happening with Russia and Ukraine.
04:46Donald Trump there and before are Shona Murray broadcasting live from Dublin.
04:49And of course, as Russia continues its war against Ukraine,
04:53concern is growing among the Baltic states.
04:56For more, our Angela Scugin sat down,
04:58exclusively with Latvia's Prime Minister, Andres Kulbergs,
05:01and started by asking him whether he expects Russia to step up threats against Latvia.
05:06And if so, when?
05:08I think the one who prepares for the worst has peace.
05:12And that's how you have to be.
05:14There cannot be any weakest link.
05:16We all have to remain strong.
05:18This EU's outside border towards the aggressor.
05:21It's the eastern flank, and nobody can be weak.
05:25We all have to be united in this.
05:27So I've just came back from Kiev and met Zelensky and the new prime minister there.
05:34And I've seen a lot in the kitchen how war is made and what's today on the table.
05:41And I can tell you that Russia is burning more men on the battlefield than they can recruit.
05:50So the resources they put in, there is no output.
05:54There is no political win.
05:56There is no war win.
05:58But we don't, and I don't see today a potential capability of Russia having a second front line.
06:08I know that the Baltic nations in particular are spending a lot of their GDP on defense.
06:13But Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia are often referred to as chihuahuas.
06:18The inference here is the bark is more powerful than the bite.
06:21What do you make of that assessment?
06:23We were right.
06:24Weren't we?
06:25Weren't we?
06:26We told everyone this is going to happen.
06:29We know in and out what the bear eats, what it thinks, how it functions.
06:36We knew.
06:36We've been 50 years occupied.
06:39We know the tricks.
06:40We know that bully is always showing the muscle and there's only one way by force.
06:46You can only deter it.
06:47But does that phrase not make you feel like some EU member states don't support the Baltics when it comes
06:52to Russian aggression?
06:53The meetings I've been having now last, I mean, four months now, a lot of them, eight in particular, I
07:01must say that there is a clear understanding.
07:03The commitment is not there behind because the politicians understand the societies are still behind of understanding the threat.
07:12So it takes time and it takes, unfortunately, things to happen, to shake up, to understand that Europe cannot live
07:22in an ideal world that the World War Two was somewhere in the past.
07:26We also saw a regional election in Germany, which resulted in the far right alternative for Germany party, a pro
07:33-Russian party doing extremely well.
07:36How do you plan on avoiding this at the ballot box when the election occurs in Latvia?
07:42Simple.
07:43People, societies are fed up with political blah, blah, blah.
07:50People need straight language.
07:52They need to hear the truth.
07:55They need to hear the certainty.
07:57They explain things simply, not cover up uncomfortable news.
08:04People understand.
08:06People will understand much better.
08:08And that's a problem.
08:09The connection is lost between politicians and the society.
08:12And the populistic parties not only are growing.
08:19Why?
08:21Because previously the social media, they can explain things more clearly with statements.
08:27But doesn't that mean that the center is failing, though, if more people are turning to the right or in
08:32some places the far left?
08:34I think it's because the policies we've been in Europe has not made great policies.
08:40If we compare where we are now, energy sector, as an example, industries have been outsourced way too much outside
08:47to China, I mean, as an example.
08:52We should have strong economy.
08:54That's what I'm saying.
08:55People, when the economy is weak and we need to invest with the weak economy into defense, that's not a
09:02good, great position to be at.
09:04Strong economy can bring strong defense.
09:07And that's an area where the vulnerability happens.
09:10The Ukrainian president, Vladimir Zelensky, has come out and said that he needs an extra 23 billion euros to prop
09:16up his budget to address a funding gap.
09:19How far does Latvia's financial support for Ukraine go?
09:22Is it bottomless or does it end at some point?
09:26You touched on a very important subject.
09:29Do you know why it's gone up?
09:31Ukraine is attacked by ballistic missiles.
09:35And the missiles are being produced in Russia way more than before.
09:40What does it have inside?
09:41Western components.
09:43We're still supplying Russia in order for them to build missiles to attack Ukraine.
09:49And then we're helping Ukraine with more money in order to fight back.
09:54Maybe in the first time, first place, we should stop or put a full ban of those Western technological components
10:03be in the missile.
10:05Russia will not be capable of building it.
10:07Is that something that you would suggest?
10:08I was very open with that.
10:10I was very open on the meetings.
10:11I say, what is the purpose of sanctions?
10:14Let's put, do we want Ukraine to prevail, to win?
10:18We want to stop the war or we just want to put sanctions just because they sound well?
10:23No, we have to put the sanctions in and really execute them.
10:27And obviously that wasn't executed.
10:29There shouldn't be cutting corners.
10:31We shouldn't make exclusions.
10:33But what was the EU member states, what was their defense for this to not be implemented?
10:38Because there's still interests, because societies are still not understanding the reality of the threat.
10:45We should prepare for the wars.
10:47And that's how you have peace.
10:51Now, moving on with most of the votes counted, it looks like the Swedish socialist Magdalena Andersson could become Sweden's
10:58next prime minister.
10:59That's according to the latest exit polls.
11:01For more, we're joined here on set by our political correspondent, Jorge Lebrero, on what seems to be a pretty
11:06rare victory for the European socialists right now.
11:09Jorge, how could this change the power dynamics here in Brussels inside the European Council?
11:13I would say that European socialists are today cautiously breathing a sigh of relief because, as you said, this is
11:20a rare victory for them after years of losing power.
11:24And at this point, they've become a sort of endangered species on the continent, right?
11:29And let me put things in perspective so our audience understands.
11:33In the European Parliament, the socialists are still the second largest party.
11:37But in the European Council, where the real power is, they have only three out of 27 seats.
11:44So they're in a minority.
11:46And we know them, Pedro Sánchez in Spain, Mette Frederiksen in Denmark, and Robert Abella in Malta.
11:53Now, if Magdalena Andersson forms a coalition and joins them, they will have four seats, matching the number of the
11:59Liberals.
12:00But still, the power is now tilted to the right.
12:03And where will she be sitting exactly in the sense that who will she be closer to either Pedro Sánchez
12:08of Spain or Mette Frederiksen of Denmark?
12:10Well, I think it's self-evident, right, because the Nordic countries are always naturally aligned.
12:17They are politically like-minded by default, if we can say that.
12:21So we can expect Andersson to be very close to Frederiksen, also to Sánchez on matters related to climate action
12:28or social protection.
12:29But especially she will be close to Frederiksen.
12:32And I can already tell you one topic where Sánchez and Andersson will disagree, the EU budget, which is now
12:38under negotiations.
12:40Andersson is going to demand across-the-board cuts to the proposal, while Sánchez prefers a more expansionary vision and
12:48has even pitched a fresh issuance of joint debt.
12:51So this is a no-go for Sweden, no matter who's in power.
12:55So we can expect a big clash there.
12:57But there will be also room for compromise and agreement.
13:00OK, Jorge, stay with us here on set, because I'd like to go to Sweden now and bring in the
13:04view from the historian, Professor Lars Trojard.
13:07Good morning. Thank you so much for joining us.
13:10Just tell us first, what is the feeling there in Sweden this morning?
13:12Was this outcome expected?
13:15Well, everybody knew it was going to be a very tight election.
13:19You know, the Social Democrats have actually made their worst election almost historically since the introduction of the universal suffrage.
13:30And it's not clear yet, you know, what the result is going to be.
13:34They are relying on a very unwieldy coalition, including the left party, but also the centre party that is fundamentally
13:43a centre-right party that is only part of that coalition because of resistance to the Sweden Democrats.
13:51So it's a very messy situation, indeed, that we're trying to digest here.
13:57But it does seem clear that the far right will not be entering government, as many expected and were potentially
14:03reporting this weekend.
14:04Is this a rebuke from the Swedes?
14:08Yeah, I think that the irony, I think, right now is that the current government has been actually quite active
14:15and produced a lot of reforms.
14:18And the gang killings have gone down dramatically.
14:23So in some sense, they are victims of their own success at this point.
14:28And I think there are many Swedes, you know, who are voting against particularly the Sweden Democrats, want to have
14:35a kinder sort of face to Sweden, right?
14:38They are happy with the stricter policies with regard to immigration and crime.
14:44But on the other hand, they also still like to be a bit of the moral superpower that they have
14:50been in the past.
14:51So I think what they like is to keep in place the reforms that have been carried out, but they
14:59also want to move on to other issues, perhaps closer to questions around the economy, you know, health care, education
15:08and so forth.
15:10So I but it's very clear what what government we're going to see is going to be a lot of
15:15negotiations coming up.
15:16The moderates, the more traditional right, the centre right party did extremely well as well.
15:23So, OK, Professor Lars Trågaard, thank you so much for joining us there live this morning from Sweden.
15:30And now we can head to Budapest, where Hungary's former Prime Minister Viktor Orban is showing his face in politics
15:36again after quite a long break.
15:38For the details, we can go straight now to Budapest, where our Hungary correspondent Sander Giros is standing by for
15:44us this Monday morning.
15:45Sander, great to see us there. Just tell us about Viktor Orban's speech this weekend.
15:52Good morning, Maeve. Yes, indeed, Viktor Orban, the former Prime Minister, was away for a long summer break after his
15:59crushing electoral defeat.
16:01He spent two months on vacations. And this weekend marked the big coming back of Orban. At least this is
16:09what he wanted.
16:10He had a speech in a small village called Kötse in Western Hungary. The speech was behind closed doors, completely
16:18secret.
16:20But we have several leaks and Orban himself shared a short video. So basically the content is that he denied
16:28the corruption allegations.
16:29He said his former government members are completely clean. He accused the government of Peter Magyar of selling out the
16:37country to foreign companies.
16:39And he asked his Fidesz party members to step up the fight against Magyar and to attack more aggressively.
16:47Let's take a look of what he said.
16:51The time for national resistance has come. Patience is over. Fairness is over. All unilateral gestures are over. We must
16:57take up the gauntlet and fight.
17:01Viktor Orban there. And Sander, just tell us, what is his strategy now? Does he have a real chance of
17:06ever coming back into power, do you think?
17:10Well, that would be difficult because Orban is one of the most unpopular politicians right now in Hungary.
17:18And his Fidesz party is polling around 20% only, much lower than at the elections time.
17:26Peter Magyar still has a very high popularity, although his support dropped a few points lately.
17:33But nevertheless, Orban's strategy is that, you know, because of the high fuel prices and the big budgetary deficit,
17:43Magyar will lose his popularity. He will lose his popularity.
17:47And this will open an opportunity for Orban to gain popularity.
17:56And for the moment, I don't see Orban coming back to the top of the Hungarian politics anytime soon.
18:03But definitely this political season, starting in September, will be very, very heated.
18:10OK, Sander's ears, Hungarian politics always keeping us on the edge of our seats.
18:14Thank you so much for that.
18:15And now finally, just briefly to London, where the EU flag seems to be making quite a comeback.
18:20The 12 gold stars of the European Union flag made an appearance at the famous proms this weekend.
18:26The classical music festival saw endless EU flags, actually outnumbering Union Jacks, putting the UK's relationship with Brussels in the
18:34spotlight.
18:35Our Jorge Librero is here on set and was keeping an eye on this.
18:37That sounds quite a positive message, perhaps, to Brussels and to the EU right now.
18:42Jorge, what do you think?
18:42I've seen these images and I have to tell you, I think they perfectly illustrate the political failure of Brexit.
18:49I'm stressing the word political here, because Brexit, as a legal bureaucratic process, is complete.
18:56The UK left the EU, that's clear.
18:59But as a political process, it's still incomplete, because the country, a share of the country, is very much attached
19:06to the idea of EU membership.
19:08It's still very high in the minds of many citizens, as we can see in the images.
19:12So the identity crisis caused by Brexit remains unresolved.
19:17And this is a problem for any Prime Minister.
19:19Indeed, and that's why these images are causing quite an outrage, among many others, in the United Kingdom.
19:24Jorge Librero, thank you so much for your analysis.
19:26And thank you so much for tuning in to us this Monday morning here on Euronews.
19:31That brings this edition of Europe Today to an end.

19:36But for now, take care, thanks for watching, and stay with us here on Euronews.
