Following the pro-Palestinian demonstrations that started at the Paris Institute of Political Sciences in Paris, the capital of France, which is considered one of the most prestigious universities in the country, education was suspended for a day. The school’s management instructed its staff to work from home but made no statement on the situation. The street where the campus is located was closed to entrances and exits by police.

The university committee, consisting of pro-Palestinian students, stated yesterday that 6 students started a hunger strike and that it will continue until the university board agrees to go over its relations with Israeli universities. However, the deputy administrator of the university rejected this request in the meeting with student representatives.

EU Warns US Tariffs Could Trigger De Facto Trade Ban

0

EU Trade Commissioner Maros Sefcovic warned that a proposed 30% US tariff on European goods would effectively amount to a trade ban, severely disrupting transatlantic supply chains.

Speaking ahead of the EU Foreign Affairs Council in Brussels, Sefcovic expressed disappointment over a letter from US President Donald Trump that halted expected trade progress. “We were close to an agreement,” he said, but now “must prepare for all outcomes.”

The EU has delayed retaliatory measures on $72 billion worth of US goods until August 1, hoping for a negotiated resolution. Sefcovic emphasized that “no one wants a trade war,” while France urged faster preparation for countermeasures and Hungary blamed the EU Commission’s weak response to US pressure.

Danish and Lithuanian ministers echoed calls to avoid escalation but emphasized EU readiness to defend its interests.
