An Overwhelming Number of Crises for a Single Summit?

Ian is in sunny Cyprus for a significant EU leaders’ meeting, the largest on the island in years. Sarah reports from Brussels, while Nick joins from Greece at the Delphi Economic Forum.

The summit’s agenda is heavy on geopolitics, with discussions on the Iran crisis, high energy prices, the EU’s long-term budget, and defense strategies. It’s set to be a crucial meeting.

In Greece, Nick notes the unexpected presence of several high-profile MAGA figures at the forum. With Hungarian leader Viktor Orbán leaving, the movement seems to be seeking new alliances.

    Another day, another summit where they’ll probably solve all the world’s problems over a coffee and a slice of baklava. 🍰 Because nothing says “urgent crisis management” like a bit of sunbathing in Cyprus, right? 😏
