The EU and US have sealed a landmark trade agreement — capping tariffs at 15%, securing zero tariffs in key sectors, and boosting Europe’s energy security with $750 billion in US imports through 2028.
The most favourable deal the US has ever offered a partner. Unlike with other trading partners, the 15% cap does not come on top of existing most-favoured-nation tariffs. Instead, it includes them.
We came together today as allies and friends.
To stop the killing.
And to make sure that every single Ukrainian child abducted by Russia is returned to their families.
Our work continues.
For strong security guarantees for Ukraine.
And for a lasting and durable peace.
Multiple EU countries are battling intense wildfires. Spain, for the first time ever, called for EU help — and two rescue planes were mobilized within hours. The EU Civil Protection Mechanism has already been activated 16 times this season, matching all of last summer. This is EU solidarity in action.
The European Commission proposes investing €9 billion in the new AgoraEU programme. It will boost cultural creation, media freedom and European values. This is not just funding, it is about fostering creativity and creating new and better opportunities.
The Commission proposes investing €41 billion in Erasmus+ from the next EU Budget (2028–2034) to support learning, skills development, and exchange opportunities across Europe.
This initiative will benefit students, trainees, youth workers, sports coaches, and volunteers from all backgrounds, while also strengthening European identity.
What do Erasmus+ programme, emergency disaster relief, and high-speed rail networks have in common? They’re all powered by the EU budget — the financial backbone that supports projects and millions of people across Europe.
In this clear and concise explainer video, we break down how the EU budget works, where the funds come from, and why it matters for you — whether you’re a student, farmer, researcher, or just someone benefiting from new infrastructure.
In this video, you’ll learn:
What the EU budget is and how it supports all 27 EU member states
Why the EU tackles big challenges better together through shared funding
The sources of EU funding
What the Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) is and the priorities it sets
Who is responsible for proposing and approving the EU’s spending plans
The EU budget turns solidarity into action for over 450 million people — funding everything from education, innovation and research to disaster relief and sustainable infrastructure.
📌 This video is ideal for students, educators, policy enthusiasts, or anyone curious about European Union finances and how the EU works.
