🇫🇷 FRANCE | 🇺🇸 US
🔴 France Softens Trade Tone Toward Trump

🔸 Finance Min. Lombard urges “win-win” transatlantic deal at Semafor summit.
🔸 Calls on EU to avoid tariff retaliation; prefers real free trade pact.
🔸 Recent market jitters & Trump-Meloni talks push both sides toward détente.
🔸 Apple & Meta fines kept low — sign of easing tensions.

The #US may be considering recognizing #Crimea as #Russian - an unconfirmed but potentially major development.

#Semafor reports that #Trump is weighing this as part of a deal, citing sources close to the talks. While not a widely referenced outlet, Semafor was founded by ex-NYT and Bloomberg executives and includes journalists from WSJ and WaPo, making it somewhat credible.

If true, this would be a seismic shift, though #Ukraine is unlikely to accept it.

As #DonaldTrump and #France’s #EmmanuelMacron today met in at the #WhiteHouse, American journalists from the #AssociatedPress (AP) were barred from the #PressConference. But some weren’t waiting long, according to a tweet from #Semafor White House Correspondent #ShelbyTalcott. The #French press corps stepped in to ensure that a #Paris-based #AP reporter could go in and ask her first question.

「エコノミスト誌が 2024 年を支持する理由 」： SEMAFOR

「エコノミスト紙は、ワシントン・ポスト紙、ロサンゼルス・タイムズ紙、USAトゥデイ紙などの米国報道機関が空いたスペースを利用し、2024年の大統領選挙でカマラ・ハリス副大統領を支持している。

「ハリス氏が優れた大統領であるとは想像しにくいが、人々は驚かれるかもしれない。しかし、彼女が大惨事を引き起こすとは想像できない」とエコノミスト紙は、トランプ大統領就任による経済と国家安全保障の危険について「自分自身を欺いている」消極的でエコノミスト誌を読んでいるトランプ支持者に宛てたエッセイの中で書いている。 「大統領は聖人である必要はないし、私たちはトランプ氏の第二期大統領就任が災難を回避することを望んでいる。しかし、トランプ氏はアメリカと世界に容認できないリスクをもたらしている。」 」

エコノミスト紙は英国本社。

Stisknu tlačítko na semaforu pro chodce, autům hned skáče žlutá. Raduji se, jak dobře to funguje. Autům skočí červená, dalších asi 10 vteřin zírám do červené pro chodce. Pak se autům rozsvítí žlutá a vzápětí zelená. Sorry, vole, bohužel, prostě přecházet nebudeš! Kde se dá založit #issue s bugreportem? Nebo je to #feature? 🤔

「CERN、ロシア人科学者数百人を追放へ 」： SEMAFOR

「大型ハドロン衝突型加速器を運営するヨーロッパの素粒子物理学共同研究機関であるCERNは、数百人のロシア関連の科学者を研究所から追放する予定だ。

ジュネーブに本拠を置くこの組織は、2022年のロシアによるウクライナ侵攻を受けてモスクワとの関係を断つことを決定し、約60年にわたる協力関係に終止符を打ったが、その協定は現在失効している。ロシアはこれまで正式加盟国ではなかったが、核物理学に緊密に取り組んだ。
ベラルーシの研究機関と関係のある科学者らはすでに7月で契約が終了しており、ロシアと関係のある科学者は12月に滞在許可とともにアクセスを失うことになる。

しかし、CERNはモスクワ近郊の政府間センターである共同核研究所との連携を維持するが、この決定は一部の研究者にとって物議を醸している。 」

核融合研究からロシアを追い出す。

The #RepublicanParty intends to pass its policy platform "behind closed doors" this year, according to a new report.

Reporters and spectators will be barred from viewing party platform committee proceedings in #Milwaukee during the #RepublicanNationalConvention, #Semafor reported Tuesday.

This represents a break from a decades-long precedent
