Five EU diplomats told POLITICO that their countries are particularly concerned about this change, with some saying they fear their nationals could be returned with little or no advance warning or communication. “It’s very risky sending back criminals without any prior information,” said one EU diplomat, granted anonymity to discuss sensit

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Germany is exploring a potential drug pricing proposal with the Trump administration in a bid to stave off the threat of U.S. tariffs. U.S. President Donald Trump believes lower drug prices in Europe are effectively subsidized by the higher cost of medicines in the U.S. and has threatened to impose additional tariffs unless European prices rise.
