Ukraine, Trump and Syria dominate agenda at European Council | Radio Schuman

Today, EU leaders convene in Brussels for the final regular European Council meeting of the year, with key discussions anticipated to focus on Ukraine, Syria, and the implications of Donald Trump’s return to the White House.

As EU leaders gather in Brussels today for a one-day summit, Radio Schuman previews expectations for leaders’ discussions with Euronews journalist Jorge Liboreiro.

Key topics on the agenda include the current state of EU support for Ukraine, the anticipated return of Donald Trump to the White House in January, and the EU’s next steps in addressing Syria’s fragile political landscape following the collapse of Bashar al-Assad’s regime.

Today is also the António Costa’s inaugural summit as European Council President and the first time French President Emmanuel Macron has missed the gathering, as he attends to the devastating aftermath of Cyclone Chido on the French island of Mayotte.

We also examine a new study on jobs that may help reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease.
