Europe’s budget war starts now

The article discusses upcoming discussions among EU leaders in Brussels focusing on two main topics: Europe's approach towards China and the shaping of the EU's next long-term budget. It also mentions the new heads of government joining the European Council and the use of an AI tool by the EU Commission to ensure candidate countries align with EU regulations.

EU leaders arrive in Brussels for a summit dominated by two major debates: How far Europe should go in confronting China and how the bloc should shape its next long-term budget. Zoya Sheftalovich and Sarah Wheaton break down the tougher mood toward Beijing, the divisions among capitals and the battle over what Europe should spend its money on.

Then, they meet the four new heads of government taking their seats around the European Council table — and assess who could become the next ally, wildcard or obstacle on Ukraine, sanctions and Israel.

And finally, inside the Commission’s enlargement department, officials are turning to a homegrown AI tool to help check whether aspiring EU members are bringing their laws into line with the bloc’s rules.
