#TheSchumanShow Join our favourite EU spokesperson, Margaritis Funkyboogaloo-Smythe, as he brings you another edition of the Midday Briefing! The Schuman Show always brings you a quick rundown of what's been going on in politics and how the EU chose to respond.
In this Midday Briefing, we begin with the charges surrounding Marine LePen's embezzlement of EU funding for her parliamentary assistants. Speaking of assistants, the European Parliament is caught up in yet another bribery scandal - Huaweigate, in which several EP offices were raided by police. Could Commission officials be guilty of this? Funkyboogaloo-Smythe categorically thinks no; foreign interference manifests itself in other ways... Across the pond, the US administration recently was caught with its pants down after news broke about the unsecure war-plan Signal group chat. Meanwhile, the ongoing US tariff wars continue; they've been so far-reaching that even the Antarctic penguins on McDonald Island are also affected. However, in response to the United States, the European Union also drafted up its own plans for potential tariffs. Watch now!
✨With Paul Dallison.
