Renault to begin drone production in Ukraine, media reports
French automaker Renault will begin manufacturing drones in Ukraine, France Info reported, marking a significant collaboration between the automotive and defense sectors. Renault will partner with a small French defense company to equip production lines on Ukrainian territory, with the drones expected to serve both Ukrainian and French military forces. While the French Defense Ministry declined to comment on Renault specifically, Defense Minister Sébastien Lecornu confirmed on June 6 that a major French car manufacturer would join forces with a defense SME to launch drone production in Ukraine. Speaking to Le Monde, Lecornu did not name the automaker, but praised the project as an 'unprecedented partnership.' The production will take place away from front-line areas, although the exact locations were not disclosed. Lecornu emphasized that the assembly would be handled by Ukrainians, citing their strong expertise in drone development and combat deployment strategies. Lecornu also said there is "no need" to send French citizens to work on the production line, since it will be set up in Ukraine, where Ukrainians "are better than us at designing drones and especially at developing the strategies that accompany them." This move underscores France's growing support for Ukraine's defense industry and comes as Ukraine continues to expand its own drone manufacturing capabilities. Presidential advisor Oleksandr Kamyshin recently said that Ukrainian producers have the capacity to make over 5 million FPV drones annually. Drone warfare has become a central component of the ongoing war, with both Ukraine and Russia increasingly relying on unmanned systems for reconnaissance and strikes. Recent long-range Ukrainian drone attacks, including hits on airfields deep inside Russian territory, have demonstrated the strategic value of such technology.

China's Rare Earths Weapon Could Kill Europe's Auto Industry
China earlier this year introduced restrictions on its exports of rare earths. The move marked a new stage in the US- China trade spat, when the two sides no longer tried to out-tariff each other but took to more concrete steps. The problem is, the restrictions don't just apply to U.S. companies. And they may well deliver the fatal blow to Europe's struggling auto industry. China controls 90% of the world's rare earths processing capacity. It is the indisputable, if not exactly celebrated in the West, master of the rare earths industry. And now, it is using this position to make a point to trade partners that have gone above and beyond to restrict Chinese exports to their own countries and regions—essentially the same thing that Washington does when it uses the dominance of the dollar to sanction governments it doesn't see eye to eye with. Rare earths are used in a perhaps surprisingly wide variety of products. More specifically, it's rare-earth magnets that are troubling carmakers on both sides of the ocean. 'Without reliable access to these elements and magnets, automotive suppliers will be unable to produce critical automotive components, including automatic transmissions, throttle bodies, alternators, various motors, sensors, seat belts, speakers, lights, motors, power steering, and cameras,' the Alliance for Automotive Innovation, an industry body, wrote in a letter addressed to the Trump administration in early May. The letter, cited by Reuters in a recent report on the rare earths restrictions, is one of what looks like a cry for help that is only going to get louder. It was signed by auto industry leaders including Toyota, Volkswagen, and General Motors, which thanked the administration for trying to resolve the issue. If they didn't, the carmakers said, it would be only a matter of time before car factories started shutting same is happening in Europe, and it's worse—because with Trump, U.S. carmakers no longer have to worry about EVs. With the current European parliament and the Commission, local carmakers do have to worry about EVs, a lot. Because EVs feature greater amounts of those rare earths than internal combustion engine cars. And European carmakers have been mandated with the production and sale of certain minimum numbers of these EVs over the next three years. 'I informed my Chinese counterpart about the alarming situation in the EU car industry — the rare earth and permanent magnets are essential for industrial production… this is extremely disruptive for industry,' the European Union's trade commissioner, Maros Sefcovic, said this week, as quoted by the Financial Times. He added that the 'Carmakers are warning of huge production difficulties in a short period of time.' The clock, in other words, is ticking and China does not really seem in a hurry to stop it. The restrictions that Beijing implemented in mid-April are not literal—or direct. They are in the form of a new licensing regime for anyone who wants to buy rare earth magnets from Chinese producers. To do that, the prospective buyer needs to apply for a license, provide a substantial amount of information, and wait. As a Bosch spokesperson described it, the application process was 'complex and time-consuming, partly due to the need to collect and provide a lot of information.' Because of this complexity, only a few car parts suppliers have been granted such licenses, making the car companies' freak-out only a matter of time, really. But this is coming at a really bad time for European carmakers, despite the substantial rise in EV sales. They are still to turn in a solid profit on their electric cars and they are supposed to be making ever more of these—which means a lot more rare earths. Things are not that swell in the United States, either, after President Donald Trump accused the Chinese of violating a deal the two earlier agreed, on the temporary relaxation of trade warfare, including tariffs and other trade restrictions—only to be slapped back with the accusation that he did that first, by restricting semiconductor exports. Things are not looking good for the car industry right now but there is, as always, a silver lining. It consists in the fact that the world is entirely dependent on a single source of rare earths and this is not a sustainable or secure state of affairs. There has been a lot of talk in both Europe and the United States about building their own supply chains in such critical materials but action has not really been forthcoming. Even if it was, building a supply chain from scratch takes many years—just ask China. Yet the rare earths drama may boost Europe's resolve to actually start working on that supply chain, however long it takes to build it. Import dependence can be fatal.

Starmer to visit Canada amid Trump threats
Sir Keir Starmer will visit Canada for security talks next week amid Donald Trump's threats to annex the country. The Prime Minister will meet Mark Carney, his Canadian counterpart, on June 14 for discussions concerning security and economic co-operation, according to The Times. It comes after the US president warned that he was prepared to wreck the Canadian economy in an attempt to force it to become the 51st US state. Mr Trump has already doubled tariffs on steel imports to 50 per cent, piling pressure on Ottawa following a meeting with Mr Carney in Washington. Fears have been raised of 'catastrophic' job losses, factory closures and disruption to supply chains in Canada in the wake of the tariffs. The UK is exempt from the 50 per cent tariff following a deal between London and Washington. But the US president, in a post on Truth Social, said there would be financial consequences of Canada remaining independent. He said the country would be faced with the $61 billion (£49 billion) cost of being covered by his proposed Golden Dome missile defence system. However, he added it would be 'zero dollars if they become our cherished 51st State'. The post was written hours after King Charles opened the 45th Canadian Parliament in May. During his speech the King underlined the Commonwealth country's sovereignty in 'dangerous and uncertain' times. Mr Carney told the Canadian broadcaster CBC he wished to join ReArm Europe, a plan designed to beef up European defence, in a drive to make Canada less reliant upon the US. The EU has also indicated it is looking to forge stronger ties with Canada given its links to Nato and the level of support it is offering to Ukraine. Mr Carney said: 'Seventy-five cents of every [Canadian] dollar of capital spending for defence goes to the United States. That's not smart.' The Canadian prime minister, in an interview with Sky News last month, was highly critical of Mr Starmer's decision to offer the US president a second state visit to the UK as the move had sparked fury in Canada. 'To be frank, we weren't impressed by that gesture … given the circumstance. It was at a time when we were being quite clear about the issues around sovereignty.' He made clear that the invitation for the King – Canada's head of state – to be in attendance at the opening of Parliament in Ottawa was 'not coincidental'. Sir Keir, who is yet to meet the former Bank of England governor since he won the Canadian election in April, wished to hold talks with Mr Carney due to them both being centre-left leaders within the G7.
