Summarize this content to 2000 words in 6 paragraphs in Arabic Good morning. About 11 people have died in Sweden yesterday, in what authorities have called the worst mass shooting in the country\u2019s history.Today, our trade correspondent reveals secret EU plans to hit back against US Big Tech groups should President Donald Trump impose tariffs on Brussels, in a dispatch\u00a0from a meeting of trade and competition ministers in Warsaw.And our Nordics correspondent explains why Jens Stoltenberg\u2019s comeback could be an asset in dealing with Trump.Feeling the painThe EU is gearing up for a potential trade war with US President Donald Trump. But despite thorough preparations for countermeasures, their application could expose cracks in the bloc\u2019s unity, writes Andy Bounds.Context: Trump has called the US trade deficit with the EU an \u201catrocity\u201d. He has threatened to impose tariffs in order to coerce Denmark into handing over Greenland, and to press the EU to drop regulation affecting US technology companies. EU trade commissioner Maro\u0161 \u0160ef\u010dovi\u010d yesterday told trade and competition ministers meeting in Warsaw that he was prepared to hit back hard.According to officials briefed on possible retaliatory measures, one option is for the EU to hit Silicon Valley with its \u201canti-coercion instrument\u201d, which would allow the restriction of trade in services.\u201cIf you are weak, he eats you. And if you don\u2019t negotiate, he kills you,\u201d Luxembourg\u2019s trade minister Xavier Bettel said yesterday about Trump.But this might not last, if drastic EU retaliation makes Trump increase the pain on already vulnerable industries, such as steel and agriculture.Some member states are already developing their own strategies. An official from one country said their government was buying US fighter jets and seeking more liquefied natural gas, to placate the US.Dutch trade minister Reinette Klever said she would travel to the US in March. \u201cI hope to speak to the Trump administration to defend the Dutch interest,\u201d she said, calling for a \u201crobust and proportionate\u201d response to any tariffs. But P\u00e9ter Szijj\u00e1rt\u00f3, Hungarian trade minister and a Trump fan, left the meeting before it discussed the US. When asked about his response to the American president\u2019s threats, he simply expressed hope that he \u201cwill bring peace\u201d, presumably referencing the war in Ukraine.\u201cThe worst solution would be each member state trying to have its own relationship with the US,\u201d France\u2019s trade minister Laurent Saint-Martin told the Financial Times. \u201cIf we want to build European economic strength, we must show the world we are united.\u201dHe added that France wanted to avoid a trade war, but it was a question of \u201cvalues\u201d. France and the EU would stand up for a multilateral trading system governed by the WTO, Saint-Martin said.Chart du jour: PolarisationFriedrich Merz appears to have been cruising towards his dream of becoming Germany\u2019s chancellor. Then, he suddenly decided to play with fire by collaborating with the far right. Jens ex machinaDuring his time as Nato secretary-general, Jens Stoltenberg was hailed for his magic touch in dealing with leaders from Donald Trump to Recep Tayyip Erdo\u011fan. Now, Norway\u2019s Labour party hopes his star power can once again placate Trump, help bolster relations with the EU and win elections in September, writes Richard Milne.Context: Stoltenberg was named Norway\u2019s finance minister yesterday, in a surprising return to the political frontline after nine years as the Nordic country\u2019s prime minister, followed by 10 years as Nato chief.Stoltenberg has no shortage of issues to deal with. Norwegian politicians and business people are petrified of getting caught in the crossfire of any trade war between the US and EU, which Norway is not a member of. Stoltenberg\u2019s famed status as \u201cTrump whisperer\u201d will hardly hurt, although there are questions about how far it can help too.Oslo\u2019s relationship with Brussels is also in the balance. Norway\u2019s previous coalition government collapsed last week due to divisions over implementing EU energy policy. Stoltenberg\u2019s Rolodex of European ministers will surely help there, too.But Oslo needs to decide what it wants. Worries about Trump have reignited the debate about EU membership, 30 years after the last no from Norway. But the Labour party has also said it will not renew electricity interconnectors with Denmark, something the EU views with dismay.Then there are parliamentary elections in September. Labour had looked like it would slip to its worst result in more than 100 years, before Stoltenberg popped up again. \u201cHe was supposed to be winding down a bit,\u201d his wife Ingrid Schulerud told Norwegian TV, \u201cbut there\u2019s never a dull day with him\u201d.The 65-year-old won\u2019t lack for excitement in the coming months, but his stellar reputation will be put to the test. What to watch today European Commission to present strategy on ecommerce issues.French parliament\u00a0votes on whether to topple Prime Minister Fran\u00e7ois Bayrou\u2019s government over proposed budget.Now read theseExodus: Bulgaria\u2019s population has fallen by a quarter since the 1980s, amid departures for jobs abroad and a low birth rate, unravelling the social fabric.Lowering ambitions: The European aviation industry no longer thinks that hydrogen-powered planes will be a game-changer in reaching net zero by 2050.Cooked: The EU and other big polluters are expected to miss a UN deadline for new climate plans, as many countries are already off track for their 2030 targets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
