The European Commission on Wednesday revealed its highly anticipated penalties against US tech giants Apple and Meta. The decision comes at a time of spiralling trade tensions between the EU and the US government. The bloc is hoping to negotiate an end to this trade war, which could go far as threatening to hit US services such as Big Tech.
But will the decision to fine Apple and Meta worsen the already deteriorating EU US relations?

More and more EU countries are tightening their migration policies as governments are shifting more to the right. The focus in 2025 is on family reunification.
Several countries including Finland, Germany and Belgium, have already hinted at or started making criteria stricter to make reunification less accessible. Austria has taken the boldest step so far, getting ready to temporarily halt family reunification - a first in the EU.
Key politicians in the country justified the decision by arguing the country’s accommodation capacity had reached its limits and pointing to the country’s strained social services. Meanwhile, critics say this legally controversial move is a violation of common European asylum law and the European Convention on Human Rights.
Radio Schuman spoke with Federica Toscano of the leading NGO Save the Children to dive into what the end of family reunification means for migrants and host countries.
We also look at discussions on the next long-term EU budget and find out where in Europe people feel the loneliest.

The European Union needs the US "on board" in a post-deal mission scenario in Ukraine, according to the Dutch Defence minister Ruben Brekelmans, who spoke to Euronews' Shona Murray.
Last Thursday, ministers from more than 30 countries convened at a meeting led by France and the UK to discuss the formation of a reassurance force for Ukraine, intended to oversee the implementation of any future peace deal.
Key details—such as the number of troops involved and the deployment timeline—remain uncertain. Questions also persist about Europe's capacity to establish a credible peacekeeping force without US support, given many European countries' limited military resources and fiscal constraints.
Radio Schuman also flags the first high level EU-Palestine meeting as well as assessing the locations of hospitals in Europe.

The European institutions should be more open and honest to avoid creating the impression that something is being hidden from citizens, the newly elected EU Ombudsman Teresa Anjinho told Euronews in an interview featured in Radio Schuman today.
She emphasized the need to bridge the gap between expectations and actual powers, warning that failing to do so would contribute to an increasingly polarised world and further erode public trust.
The EU Ombudsman has announced she intends to launch an own-initiative inquiry into the so-called revolving door phenomenon - when EU officials move into roles in the private sector, raising concerns about potential conflicts of interest and growing public distrust in the institutions.
She explains what prompted this investigation, how she sees her role as Ombudsman, and the broader challenges facing transparency and good governance across EU institutions and agencies.
Radio Schuman also touches on NATO and the tariff war between the US and China.

Washington is still prepared to negotiate with the EU over tariffs, US deputy spokesperson Mignon Houston told Euronews' Shona Murray in an exclusive interview featured on Radio Schuman today.
The EU is expected to approve a plan today to impose 25% tariffs on a broad range of US goods in response to the United States' earlier duties on steel and aluminium imports.
Earlier this week, US President Trump reaffirmed his intention to maintain global tariffs, despite recent volatility in international financial markets. Nevertheless, Houston acknowledged that the tariff decision marks a significant shift in global trade dynamics. She stated that Washington remains open to negotiations with the EU.
Houston also reiterated the United States' continued commitment to NATO and affirmed Greenlanders' right to self-determination, in light of Trump's expressed interest in acquiring the island.

European companies should not feel compelled to abandon their values, management practices, or commitment to diversity and workplace care, French Green MEP Majdouline Sbai tells Radio Schuman today.
Her remarks came in response to letters from the US administration to several European embassies, urging suppliers to eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) measures to maintain their contracts in the US.
This move follows the Trump administration’s broader efforts to dismantle DEI policies across federal agencies, contractors, the private sector, universities, and international grant recipients.
The strongest responses came from France and Belgium, with Belgian Deputy Prime Minister Jan Jambon asserting that Europe upholds a culture of non-discrimination and rejecting US interference.
Radio Schuman also explores the EU-Central Asia summit that will start today in Samarkand as well as the top European companies for nervous travellers.

US tariffs and the EU's countermeasures would result in economic disruption ripping apart global value chains, the director of European auto trade group ACEA tells Radio Schuman on Friday
US President Donald Trump's announcement of a 25% tariff on imported cars and car parts came as a hard blow for European car makers, who export between 50% and 60% of their production to the US.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen expressed her dismay over the sudden decision, saying that the tariffs would punish both European and American companies, signalling the bloc's intention to retaliate.
"I think the both sides will try to, would try to hurt each other where it hurts most," says Sigrid de Vries, the director general of the European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (ACEA), describing what he thinks the short-term impact of the rift would look like. "It will rip apart global value chains," he added.
Today's episode also looks at a discussion among ministers on the EU’s cohesion funds and at a survey revealing the best European countries for women's health.
