Europe Inc. as a Response to U.S. Pressure - Good Times Bad Times (The 20s Report)



The video discusses the European Union's response to geopolitical challenges, particularly under the leadership of Ursula von der Leyen. Key initiatives include EU Inc., a unified legal framework for startups to simplify cross-border operations, and the Savings and Investment Union to mobilize €10 trillion in European savings. The EU is also pushing for an integrated energy market, including nuclear energy, and has taken a firm stance on Greenland’s sovereignty, aligning with Canada.

The video highlights a growing "Europe maxing" trend—increased support for European products, software, and identity—driven by global instability and U.S. policies. While some reforms face delays, the EU is repositioning itself as a strategic bloc, emphasizing autonomy and resilience.
