    All about the €€€: How Bulgaria’s euro dreams could become a nightmare
    Jun 13 2025
    Bulgaria’s big step toward using the euro is a victory for European unity — but the country itself isn’t united on whether joining the common currency is a good idea. And if Sofia is actually jumping the gun, the risks to the whole eurozone are dire. Izabella Kaminska, POLITICO senior editor and finance expert, joins host Sarah Wheaton to unpack the pros and cons of ditching the lev for both Sofia and Brussels Then, Gabrielius Landsbergis, Lithuania’s former foreign minister and one of Europe’s most hawkish voices on Ukraine and defense, stops by with a blunt message ahead of the June 24-25 NATO summit. He warns of EU complacency, calls for tougher action to support Kyiv, and offers a glimpse of his life after politics — including a forthcoming memoir and whether a return to the spotlight might be in the cards.

    Can Europe’s Trump counterpunch work? Sanctions, tariffs and a MAGA twist.
    Jun 6 2025
    Trump is finally facing some resistance. Can Europe seize the moment? This week on EU Confidential, host Sarah Wheaton speaks with Swedish Member of the European Parliament Karin Karlsbro, just back from Washington, about how Brussels is reading the room in D.C. — and whether there’s any real appetite for a “beautiful trade deal” before Trump’s July tariff deadline. We also hear from POLITICO’s news editor Josh Berlinger in Paris and national security reporter Amy Mackinnon in Washington, as they unpack a rare burst of old-school transatlantic coordination — with U.S. Senators Lindsey Graham and Richard Blumenthal crisscrossing Europe to rally support for sweeping new sanctions on Russia. Plus: What Poland’s surprise presidential result — and a MAGA-adjacent win — could mean for Donald Tusk and the EU. And do start eyeing your bookshelf as we call for summer reading tips.
