EU
leaders returned Friday for their second day of marathon talks, with a
discussion on migration set
to descend into a showdown over whether to push for tougher controls.
Before
those talks, Denmark called for new, tougher language linking migration to
crime.
Earlier,
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy made a direct pitch for more help amid
a crisis of faith among allies over Donald Trump’s latest steps favoring
Russia.
Leaders
are expected to turn to the question of how to protect the bloc from Russian
hybrid attacks, maritime security and the Middle East.
On
Thursday, a
three-hour argument over taxing car emissions derailed Antonio Costa’s
carefully laid plans to tackle the biggest challenges facing the bloc: fixing
its economy and sorting out its spending priorities, drawing ire from some
diplomats.
As
leaders piled into their motorcades around midnight after 14 hours of talks,
they seemed as far away as ever on negotiations over the bloc’s next long-term
budget — with the next serious round of talks slipping to November.
