Denmark launches its EU presidency facing war in Ukraine and Trump tariff chaos
AARHUS, Denmark (AP) — Denmark launched its presidency of the European Union on Thursday with a call for Europe to unite to take on war in Ukraine and chaos caused by U.S. President Donald Trump's global tariff hike which are likely to mark the Nordic country's six-month term at the helm of the world's biggest trading bloc. 'We have war on European soil. We face trade wars, and new tariffs, and we have our closest ally, in the United States, turning increasingly inward,' said Danish European Affairs Minister Marie Bjerre. 'Europe can no longer be in the shadow of the United States. We need now to stand on our own two feet.'

Denmark launches its EU presidency facing war in Ukraine and Trump tariff chaos
AARHUS, Denmark (AP) — Denmark launched its presidency of the European Union on Thursday with a call for Europe to unite to take on war in Ukraine and chaos caused by U.S. President Donald Trump's global tariff hike which are likely to mark the Nordic country's six-month term at the helm of the world's biggest trading bloc. 'We have war on European soil. We face trade wars, and new tariffs, and we have our closest ally, in the United States, turning increasingly inward,' said Danish European Affairs Minister Marie Bjerre. 'Europe can no longer be in the shadow of the United States. We need now to stand on our own two feet.' Prime Minister Mette Fredericksen and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen were in the western city of Aarhus for a day of celebratory events as Denmark started its eighth EU presidency since joining in 1973. Presidencies rotate between the 27 EU member countries every six months. The nation in charge sets policy priorities and organizes the bloc's working agenda. It's supposed to act as an 'honest broker,' setting aside national interests to foster consensus. Denmark is entering its term with the motto 'A Strong Europe in a Changing World.' Its aim is to help ensure the EU can take responsibility for its own security, boost economic competitiveness and tackle climate change. The ceremony was held as large parts of Europe sweltered in high temperatures. Russia's war on Ukraine, now in its fourth year, is seen as an existential challenge in Europe and will weigh heavily on most policy debate. Economic turmoil also lies ahead. Trump's 90-day tariff pause ends on July 9 with no EU-U.S. trade deal in place as yet. Getting defense on track and gunning for 5% NATO has warned that Russia could be ready to attack another European country in 3-5 years. To prepare, the military alliance — most of whose members are EU countries — has agreed that national military and defense-related investment should rise to 5% of GDP. Denmark's priority will be to set Europe on track to properly defend itself by 2030. That will require laying the groundwork for countries to buy the military equipment needed to execute NATO's defense plans with Trump's security priorities lying outside Europe. That will mean wrapping up negotiations on proposals that will help countries purchase and make military equipment together. Enlargement and another defense front Helping Ukraine, but also Moldova, to join the EU soon is another security priority. Moldova has been shaken by Russian meddling in the form of energy coercion, election interference and disinformation campaigns. Denmark says it aims to keep the two moving toward membership together, but Hungary is blocking Ukraine's path. Prime Minister Viktor Orbán insists that Ukraine should remain a buffer zone between Russia and NATO countries. With fresh elections in Moldova in September, pressure is mounting for the EU to 'decouple' their accession tracks. Bjerre said 'all political and practical means' will be used first to persuade Hungary — a small EU country and the only one standing in Ukraine's way — to lift its veto. She said it's important to send clear signals to Balkans countries. Most have waited many years to join. Honing a competitive edge As Trump wages tariff war, trade has changed drastically. The EU has sought new trade agreements with other countries, such as India, while other trade pacts are being revamped. Denmark says it's important to accelerate that process. The government in Copenhagen says it's also seeking to cut more bureaucratic red tape in order to speed up innovation. A major challenge looms in the form of the EU's next long-term budget. Von der Leyen plans to unveil the commission's blueprint for the seven-year spending package, which should enter force in 2028, on July 16. With defense spending increases weighing heavily on national purses, member countries are unlikely to want to stump up more funds for European priorities. Denmark's aim is to get the debate — which could run for two years — off on the right track. Managing climate change Despite some backsliding, the EU still holds to its goal of achieving climate neutrality by 2050, by cutting greenhouse gases and compensating for any remaining emissions. Denmark will lead work on setting a 2040 target to guide climate action and investment to keep the bloc on track. Part of that will be the transition away from fossil fuels to green energy forms. Russia's war on Ukraine has highlighted the dangers of energy dependence on any one supplier. Sanctions and political pressure have not stopped some EU countries of getting their oil and gas from Russia, although the level of dependency has dropped markedly since 2022. Denmark says the continued phase out remains a priority. Copenhagen also says it should be easier for farmers to respect EU rules. It wants the bloc's agricultural policy to be simple and business friendly. One goal is to finalize negotiations on a rule simplification package. Migration policy, outsourcing continues In 2021, Frederiksen spoke of a vision of 'zero asylum-seekers,' and her government will continue down the EU track of seeking 'innovative solutions' to better manage migrants. Unable to agree how best to cope, EU countries have mostly focused on deporting people. They've tried to establish 'return hubs' in countries outside the bloc where rejected asylum-seekers could be sent. That approach will continue. Denmark says it's important to persuade people not to set out for Europe in the first place. Work will also continue on preparing the vast asylum and migration policy pact to come into force next year. The pact was seen as the answer to Europe's migration woes, but countries still differ on how best to tackle the challenge. Under international law, people have a right to asylum if they fear for their lives, safety or persecution.

Robert MacDonald, Bybit Chief Compliance Officer, Makes Asian Legal Business' Top 15 in 2025
DUBAI, UAE, July 3, 2025 /CNW/ -- Bybit, the world's second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, is pleased to share Robert MacDonald, Chief Legal and Compliance Officer of Bybit, has been featured by the prestigious trade magazine Asian Legal Business (ALB) among Asia's top 15 chief compliance officers. The trailblazing changemakers are recognized for their pioneering work in redefining regulatory compliance as a strategic growth engine in the digital asset industry. Acknowledging the fresh challenges faced by chief compliance officers in an era of fragmented regulations, ALB Magazine highlights MacDonald's demonstrable leadership in navigating cryptocurrency complexities through "regulatory diplomacy." He has been instrumental in reinforcing Bybit's commitment to legal integrity and robust governance while balancing sustainable growth. His background in regulatory compliance and combating financial crime has positioned Bybit at the forefront of industry best practices. MacDonald's extensive experience includes serving with the U.K. Ministry of Justice and engaging with the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), the global financial crime watchdog, before transitioning to an international career in the private sector where he has applied his regulatory expertise to business growth strategies. The list showcases Asia's best compliance leaders from diverse sectors including the world's leading financial service institutions, emerging cryptocurrency exchanges, technology giants, luxury brands, and multinational corporations, highlighting the strategic importance of compliance roles across industries in today's complex regulatory environment. "I'm truly honoured to be recognised in the June 2025 edition of ALB. Grateful to be featured among such esteemed peers and for the opportunity to contribute to the evolving crypto compliance landscape in Asia. My journey in crypto over the last 3 to 4 years has seen the adoption of crypto and practical use cases grow exponentially," said Robert MacDonald, Chief Legal and Compliance Officer at Bybit. "From 'HODLing', trading to daily spending via card partnerships to institutional adoption. This growth has led to greater awareness and understanding from global regulators and emerging market regulators keen to understand the technology for adoption and regulatory frameworks in their own jurisdictions," he said. "My journey with Bybit has seen Bybit grow from 30 million registered users to over 70 million users. This growth has seen Bybit obtain a number of new licences, to name a few: Austria (MiCAR), UAE, Turkey and Georgia. Obtaining and maintaining these licences aligns with our broader commitment to providing secure, compliant and regulated services across global markets," MacDonald reflected on his Bybit experience. Robert MacDonald was appointed Chief Legal and Compliance Officer of Bybit in September 2024. Prior to joining Bybit, MacDonald started his career in criminal justice as a UK-qualified barrister before transitioning to the public sector and later to multinationals in financial services, technology, and crypto and Web3. The ALB Asia recognition underscores the growing importance of compliance leadership in the digital asset sector, where regulatory frameworks continue to develop across multiple jurisdictions. MacDonald's work demonstrates how proactive engagement with regulatory challenges can create sustainable competitive advantages rather than simply managing operational risks. #Bybit / #TheCryptoArk About Bybit Bybit is the world's second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, serving a global community of over 70 million users.
