Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis brings us inside the EU summit

Season 3, Ep. 30

A late-night EU summit, fraying transatlantic ties, and Donald Trump looming large over Brussels. 


In today’s Europe Today, we break down five hours of tense talks between EU leaders on Ukraine, Greenland, Mercosur and the so-called “Trump peace board,” with live analysis from Euronews’ Shona Murray at the summit itself. Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis joins us to take us inside the room — on unity, urgency, and whether Europe is finally ready to defend itself. From Davos, we bring you the fallout from President Zelenskyy’s blistering speech, his meeting with Donald Trump, and what to expect from upcoming trilateral talks involving the US, Ukraine and Russia. Plus, a lighter moment in a heavy news cycle as Elon Musk sets his sights on Ryanair. Europe at a crossroads — power, pressure and politics, all in 15 minutes.

Europe Today is Euronews’ daily podcast hosted by Maria Tadeo and Méabh Mc Mahon, broadcasting directly from Brussels, at the heart of Europe.   


Every morning, we deliver the top and exclusive stories shaping the European Union (EU) and beyond.
