Last update: 38 minutes agoEU Kids Act: Ursula von der Leyen’s Commission adopted the EU KIDS Act, proposing a ban on social media for under-13s, “mini accounts” for 13-14s under parental control with a one-hour-a-day cap, and a minimum age of 15 for personal accounts, alongside safety-by-design rules for platforms and limits on addictive features, profiling feeds, infinite scroll, reward tricks, and night notifications. Canada-EU “associate member” row: The EU floated making Canada its first “associate member” in a new “Alliance for the Future,” but US President Donald Trump called it “laughable” and warned of very serious tariffs or trade cutoffs if he deems it a hostile act; the Commission insists the move is not aimed at the US. Ukraine winter support: Von der Leyen said the EU will use remaining SAFE funds for new joint defence projects with Ukrainian companies, including work on the FREYJA modular missile defence system. EU enlargement debate: Georgia’s foreign minister urged more EU experience-sharing with the South Caucasus as enlargement and security remain central themes. EU-China procurement pressure: China voiced concern over an EU public procurement draft, warning it could be discriminatory and urging Brussels to keep markets open.
