Rubio cancels EU’s Kallas at last minute – Euronews

EU’s foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas was set to meet US Secretary of State Marco Rubio in Washington

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has cancelled a meeting with EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas at the last minute “due to scheduling issues,” Euronews reported on Wednesday.

Kallas, who is on an official visit to Washington to discuss the Ukraine conflict and new dynamics in transatlantic relations, intends to meet with representatives from the US Congress and Senate, according to her spokesperson cited by the EU’s news network.

The bloc’s top diplomat had been scheduled to meet with Rubio on Wednesday, and news agencies had expected images from the bilateral talks, Euronews wrote. However, a spokesperson for the US official told the outlet that the meeting had been cancelled “due to scheduling issues,” adding that Kallas and Rubio “last met during the Munich Security Conference” earlier in February.

According to the report, Rubio’s public calendar for February 26 did not list Kallas as an agenda item.

Former Estonian prime minister Kallas has been critical of the new US administration’s handling of the Ukraine conflict,denouncing President Donald Trump’s call with Russian leader Vladimir Putin earlier this month as a form of “appeasement.” She has accused Washington of adopting a “Russian narrative” and argued that Brussels should “support Ukraine right now more than ever.”

Kallas also claimed that Moscow emerged as the winner in the recent US-Russia meeting in Saudi Arabia, stressing that any peace deal concerning Ukraine must involve both Europeans and Ukrainians to be effective.

Following the Riyadh talks on February 18, Kallas held a phone callwith Rubio, later warning, “Russia will try to divide us. Let’s not walk into their traps.”

On Monday, while announcing the now-cancelled meeting with Rubio,Kallas stated “I have been very clear that no deal without us, without Ukraine or without Europe will work in practice – and that is for the US, which also needs to work with us.”

An unnamed EU diplomat commented on the canceled meeting for Politico, saying it “seems that the Trump administration doesn’t miss a chance to show that for them the EU is not a player.” (If they were not so disrespectful and demanding things like we are enemies, maybe they may be considered a player. They problem with the EU, they are aggressive, arrogant, there’s too many leaders, and they can never make a decision, they are useless and a time waster)

On Tuesday, theRussian Foreign Ministry stated that the aggressive stance of Ukraine’s EU backers makes them unfit to participate in the peace process. Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov further accused Brussels on Wednesday of attempting to derail peace efforts by encouraging Kiev to continue fighting against Russia.

Kallas has recently suggested extending arms deliveries to Ukraine into 2025. The proposed package, worth €10 billion (over $10 billion), has faced resistance from some EU member states and is set for discussion at the March 6 summit of the bloc.

Moscow has repeatedly warned against Western arms shipments to Ukraine, arguing that they only prolong the conflict without altering the outcome, while increasing the risk of a direct Russia-NATO confrontation.

US to impose blanket 25% tariffs on EU — Trump

The bloc was created to weaken America through trade imbalances, the US president has claimed

US President Donald Trump has claimed that the EU was designed to weaken America and has issued new threats of 25% tariffs on all imports from the bloc.

Trump made the remarks on Wednesday at the White House during his first Cabinet meeting of his second term as president. The trade row between the US and the EU has been escalating since Trump announced plans to introduce a wide range of import duties in an effort to tackle what he describes as a trade imbalance.

“Look, let’s be honest, the European Union was formed in order to screw the United States, that’s the purpose of it,” Trump told the meeting. “And they’ve done a good job of it. But now I’m president.”

He reiterated that his administration plans to impose tariffs on EU imports “very soon.”

“It will be 25%, generally speaking, and that will be on cars and all other things,” Trump said, describing the EU as “a different case than Canada… they’ve really taken advantage of us in a different way.”

The US and EU similarly found themselves locked in a trade dispute during Trump’s first term, when he introduced tariffs of 25% on European steel imports and 10% on aluminum, to which the EU responded with countermeasures. Trump also threatened tariffs on European cars, though those never came to pass. In total, the two sides exchanged duties on goods worth over $10 billion.

As part of his current tariff push, Trump has imposed 25% duties on all steel and aluminum imports from the EU starting March 4, adding to existing tariffs.

He has also directed Howard Lutnick, his nominee for US trade representative and commerce secretary, to propose new levies on a country-by-country basis by April 1 in a bid to rebalance trade.

Since taking office on January 20, Trump has slapped a 25% tariff on all imports from Mexico and Canada and an additional 10% on Chinese goods, citing concerns over illegal immigration and drug trafficking. However, following talks with the Mexican and Canadian leaders, those tariffs have been postponed for 30 days after both nations agreed to bolster border security.

European Commission PresidentUrsula von der Leyen condemned the latest US tariffs, expressing “deep regret” over the decision. She said earlier this month that the levies on steel and aluminum “will not go unanswered.”(Ooh that's sounds so frightening….KEK)

Asked on Wednesday, whetherEU countries would retaliatein-kind to any US tariffs, Trump replied:“They can’t, I mean they can try, but they can’t.”

Orban blasts conviction of Bosnian Serb leader

Republika Srpska President Milorad Dodik has been sentenced to one year in prison and barred from holding political office

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has condemned the conviction of Bosnian Serb leader Milorad Dodik by a court in Sarajevo, describing it as a “political witch hunt” and a misuse of the legal system against a democratically elected official. Such moves are detrimental to the stability of the Western Balkans, he warned.

A Bosnian court sentenced Dodik, the president of Republika Srpska, to one year in prison on Wednesday for obstructing decisions made by Bosnia’s constitutional court and defying the authority of international envoy Christian Schmidt, who oversees the implementation of the 1995 Dayton Peace Agreement that concluded the Bosnian war. The court also barred Dodik from holding political office for six years.

“The political witch hunt against President @MiloradDodik is a sad example of the weaponization of the legal system aimed at a democratically elected leader,” Orban wrote on X in response to the court’s ruling.

“If we want to safeguard stability in the Western Balkans, this is not the way forward!”

Dodik did not attend the sentencing but addressed supporters in Banja Luka afterward, denouncing the ruling as politically motivated and pledging to implement “radical measures.” He warned that the conviction could deal a “death blow to Bosnia and Herzegovina” and suggested the possibility of Republika Srpska’s secession.

In a post on his official X account, Dodik announced plans for the Republika Srpska National Assembly to reject the court’s decision and prohibit the enforcement of any rulings from Bosnia’s state judiciary within its territory.

Republika Srpska would obstruct the operations of Bosnia’s central government and police within its jurisdiction, he declared.

Dodik has two weeks to appeal the verdict. Legal experts indicate that the sentence will become final once the appeals process is exhausted.

Following the verdict, Dodik communicated with Orban and Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic, expressing gratitude for their support. Vucic has convened an emergency meeting of Serbia’s National Security Council to discuss the implications of Dodik’s sentence and is expected to visit Republika Srpska within the next 24 hours.

Dodik is known for his opposition to NATO and has resisted Bosnia’s accession to the US-led military bloc. He has also opposed Western sanctions

against Russia related to the Ukraine conflict.

FYI: Impeaching ‘activist judges’ takes too long… Mike Lee has a much better idea…February 26, 2025 (5 hours ago)

America has more than 200 district court judges, yet somehow, many of them seem to believe their tiny little gavels give them veto power over the presidency.

And the left is exploiting this judicial free-for-all at every turn. Every time President Trump tries to enforce DOGE, immigration laws, protect election integrity or implement America First policies,some random activist judge pops up and blocks it nationwide. This is not how the system was designed to work—and if it isn’t stopped, it could spiral into a full-blown constitutional crisis. And that’s exactly what MAGA influencer Charlie Kirk is warning about:

To get a sense of just how out of control these activist judges are, take a look at one of their latest stunts—just one of many. In this case, a federal judge ordered the Trump administration to cough up hundreds of millions of dollars to foreign aid contractors—and gave them just 36 hours to do it. On top of that, he’s now demanding answers about whether his ruling is being fully obeyed.And if you’re wondering who this progressive judge is, buckle up—he’s a Canadian doozy.

Mike Davis:

39-year-old Canadian-born Amir Hatem Mahdy Ali, the first Muslim and Arab DC judge, clerked on the Supreme Court of Canada and later led a radical leftwing group that called for defunding the police. In the lame-duck session after Democrats lost the White House and Senate onNovember 5, 2024, Senate Democrats confirmed Ali on November 20 with a vote of 50-49.

When people see this activist judge crisis, their first instinct is impeachment. And we get it—on paper it’s a solid plan. In fact, it worked perfectly for El Salvador which faced the same problem we’re dealing with now. President Bukele took action, impeaching left-wing activist judges and just like that, his law-and-order agenda was finally able to take root and deliver real results for his citizens. We covered that story recently.

Revolver:

And that brings us to President Nayib Bukele, who has a permanent solution to the global problem of liberal activist judges.Keep in mind, President Bukele was responding to a satirical Babylon Bee post about radical “activist judges,” but his words were dead serious—and they hit the target, straight on. His plan to shut down judicial activism is the only real way to end this weaponization.

You can read the entire article below:

President Bukele is absolutely right—that would be a permanent solution, but sadly, it won’t work for us. It sounds great in theory, but in reality, the impeachment process in the US takes way too long—and this crisis is unfolding right now. We need a quick solution.

That’s where Senator Mike Lee comes in. After seeing Charlie Kirk’s warning on X, he responded and made it perfectly clear that he’s working on a game-changing bill to strip district activist judges of the power to issue nationwide injunctions against the US government.

That’s a permanent fix we can implement quickly to shut down the left’s latest judicial weaponization.

Frankly, this can’t happen soon enough. Because at the end of the day, this isn’t just about rogue judges—it’s about who actually runs the country: is it the duly elected President of the United States or a handful of unelected district court activists with Stage 5 TDS and a grudge against MAGA?

This is the beginning of a very humiliating end for Rep. Eric Swalwell…

February 26, 2025 (7 hours ago)

Eric Swalwell’s world is about to crumble—and he has only himself (and a few too many highballs) to blame.

If you’re a sitting US Congressman on the Homeland Security Committee, here’s a pro tip: Don’t get hammered at a Swamp hotspot, run your mouth about government secrets, and ask for help cheating on your wife—especially when right-wing influencers are sitting at the next table, recording everything.Derp…

But, of course, Eric Swalwell isn’t exactly known for his intelligence (which is pretty ironic, since he was once on the House Intelligence Committee). This is the same guy who shacked up with a Chinese spy named Fang Fang and then had the gall to act like Elon Musk is the real national security threat.Well, karma just came knocking, and it’s wearing a wire…

A bombshell video is about to drop, and according to the conservative influencer who recorded it, Swalwell was completely “compromised” within minutes of sitting down with a group of lobbyists he had just met. He didn’t just spill secrets about his job—he openly bragged about orgies on Capitol Hill, talked about abusing his power to target Ivanka Trump, and even whined about being bored of his wife, saying he only wants to sleep with “tens.” Dear Lord, but hang on, it gets worse…==

Swalwell—who constantly screeches about Elon Musk being a security risk—was drunkenly babbling like an unhinged 15-year-old, spilling classified details to a pack of sleazy lobbyists like it was last call at Applebee’s. This is the same guy who wants you to trust him with America’s security.And now, he’s terrified.

Apparently, there’s about 90 minutes of audio, and the first teaser clip shows Swalwell looking absolutely panicked as he flees the restaurant. Pay attention to those booze-flushed cheeks. This is the beginning of the end for Eric Swalwell, and it’s about damn time…

Nick Sortor: 🚨 #BREAKING EXCLUSIVE:

Eric Swalwell PANICS when I ask about his Chinese spy girlfriend Fang Fang, and whether that’s a bigger “national security threat” than Elon Musk

I sat next to a drunk Swalwell at dinner for 90 minutes.He was IMMEDIATELY compromised by a group of lobbyists he’d JUST MET, spilling intimate details about his joband asking for HELP CHEATING ON HIS WIFE.

MASSIVE national security threat. This guy should have his clearances revoked.

Swalwell spent his dinner bragging about “ORGlES” on Capitol Hill, telling them he’s bored of his wife and “only wants to f*ck tens.” (What self respecting women would even touch that roach?)

Worse, he spoke about ABUSlNG his power on the House Intel Committee (which he’s since been booted off of), sayinghe pushed to SUBPOENA Ivanka Trump because she’s “hot as f*ck”,(If PDJT hears this, he's going to be pissed)

THIS GUY MUST BE REMOVED FROM THE HOMELAND SECURITY COMMITTEE. He CANNOT keep his freaking mouth shut. After I began questioning him, Swalwell jumped back into the group of lobbyists to hide from me, but I pressed on.

Dude looked absolutely TERRIFIED and 100% guilty. He knows he’s been caught. More to come later. I have about an hour and a half of audio to go through 😉

And big shoutout to @LauraLoomer for assisting me with digging into this clown while I was focusing on listening in!

https://twitter.com/nicksortor/status/1894448074795241978

There’s a lot more to come, but one thing is already painfully clear—Eric Swalwell has no business being anywhere near Homeland Security, or any government role that requires discretion, integrity, or a functioning brain. If he had even a shred of self-awareness, he’d resign immediately. But let’s face it—dignity isn’t exactly his strong suit. So, it’s up to Speaker Johnson to do what Kevin McCarthy didn’t do and kick this national security risk to the curb.

More bombshells to come. Stay tuned.
