Just in case anyone was wondering whether Spain’s call for an EU army is new, here is our story on the proposal from January by my colleague Victoria Waldersee. (Not much enthusiasm for the idea from other EU countries so far.) www.reuters.com/business/dav...

Very unusual for the head of NATO's military committee to comment like this - a clear response to Trump's remark about NATO troops in Afghanistan, even if it's not explicitly mentioned. The fact he's done so suggests the strength of feeling in NATO military circles about that remark.

Good morning from the European Political Community summit in Tirana. Ukraine likely the main subject as some 50 leaders gather here. Let's see how chatty they are on the way in with this weather.

U.S. "condemns the radical Islamist terrorists, including foreign jihadis, that murdered people in western Syria in recent days" EU "strongly condemns the recent attacks, reportedly by pro-Assad elements, on interim government forces in the coastal areas of Syria and all violence against civilians"

NATO chief Rutte in presser with Polish President Duda: "These are uncertain times, and I know some may have concerns about NATO's future. So let me be clear, the transatlantic relationship and the Transatlantic Partnership remains the bedrock of our alliance."

Europe & Ukraine facing a moment of truth amid the Syria turmoil, as Trump calls for immediate ceasefire and negotiations. Very different from current US, NATO & EU position, stressed just last week at NATO foreign ministers' meeting: No talks until Ukraine is in a position of strength.

At NATO HQ today, I asked Hungarian President Katalin Novák about concerns Budapest is too close to Moscow politically. Answer: "I can assure you that there cannot be and should not be any relation between Hungary and Russia which would undermine our commitment with our allies" in NATO or the EU.

There's a lot of positive talk about EU enlargement among EU officials and diplomats these days. This is a reminder they'll need strong arguments if they want to sell the idea beyond the Brussels Bubble. Their opponents are already on the attack.
