US President Donald Trump's tariff war has hit South Korea's export-driven economy hard, with GDP growth forecasts for 2025 recently slashed from 1.5 percent to 0.8 percent.

'To topple the Bayrou government today is to risk making France ungovernable'
Wherever one looks, France is confronted with a form of powerlessness that, by its very nature, will do nothing to counter the fundamental pessimism that, for years, has served to foster a collective vision among the country's inhabitants. All the efforts deployed by the president in recent weeks, aimed at demonstrating that France's voice still has influence on the international stage, have been swept aside by a series of forceful actions, set against a backdrop of challenges to the transatlantic alliance. The speed with which a new world order, one dominated by force, is falling into place, and the unpredictable plays made by the United States' president, Donald Trump, who was elected on the promise of no longer accepting the burdens of America's global empire – only to end up bombing three Iranian nuclear sites under pressure from Israel – have all been steadily eroding the advantage Emmanuel Macron once claimed to have. It is one thing to have foreseen, before others, Europe's vulnerability, as it had spent too long living off the dividends of peace. It is quite another to experience, as a daily and painful reality, the risk of Europe's marginalization. Until the European Union gives itself the means to defend itself and speeds up decision-making, it will continue to seem insignificant – and so will France. There is just a little time left before 2027 to chart a course on this issue.

How does Europe's defence spending shape up as Trump pressures allies?
As the NATO summit ended with a commitment to spend 5% of GDP on defence, a Bruegel and Kiel Institute report warns Europe is far from ready to defend itself, at least not by 2030, primarily due to its dependence on foreign production and technology. "Europe needs to shift its political debate from fiscal numbers to actual military capabilities purchased and delivered in the coming years," the report said. Currently, Europe imports a substantial amount of weapons. Imports have increased from approximately $3.4 billion (€2.9 billion) for the period between 2019 and 2021 to $8.5 billion (€7.2 billion) between 2022 and 2024 in EU countries. The US is the main trading partner for military equipment for both the EU and the main European countries, except for France. For instance, around 70% of the non-European purchases from Poland are contracted with US companies, and the remaining deals are mainly struck with South Korean firms. However, the average delivery time of defence equipment manufactured in European countries like Germany, the UK and Poland can reach four years. Europe also lacks some top military technologies, with development timelines often stretching into decades rather than just a few years. "A reduced or even completely missing technological lead in warfare is becoming an increasing concern across Western militaries and is particularly an issue for Europe," the report stated. Developing new technologies New battlefield technologies, such as drones and AI, can be complementary capabilities of a warfighting force. In Russia's ongoing invasion of Ukraine, drones are responsible for between 60% and 70% of damage currently caused to Russian equipment, according to the UK's defence and security think tank, the Royal United Services Institute. For instance, the target for the production of first-person-view (FPV) drones in Ukraine for 2025 is around 4.5 million, while that for Russia is between 3 and 4 million. Speaking from the Hague on the eve of a summit of NATO leaders, the Ukrainian president said the country's defence sector is able to produce much more than it currently does, but is limited by a lack of financing. "Our defence production potential has surpassed $35 billion (€29 billion)," Volodymyr Zelenskyy told the NATO Defence Industry Forum, with a range of over 1,000 types of weapons produced in the country, including artillery, armoured vehicles, drones, and missiles. "But around 40% of this potential lacks proper funding. That's a problem. For example, we can produce over 8 million drones of different types each year, but the financing allows for far fewer." Apart from Ukraine, European armies appear to be further behind on such developments compared to the US. Although there are emerging European start-ups focused on drone manufacturing, the technology is evolving rapidly, so drones older than six months may already see a significant decline in their effectiveness. Meanwhile, both Russia and China have substantially advanced their production capacities as well as technological capabilities.

FIFA faces quandary over US and Iran involvement at 2026 World Cup
FIFA is facing questions about how it will manage the involvement of both the US and Iran at next year's World Cup, just days after Donald Trump ordered the bombing of three Iranian nuclear facilities. The US became involved in the recent 12-day conflict between Israel and Iran, which ended with an American-brokered ceasefire on Tuesday, when it dropped bunker-buster bombs on several targets inside Iran over the weekend. The mission was hailed by the Trump administration as a profound blow to Iran's nuclear programme, despite a US intelligence report later casting doubt on its effectiveness. Meanwhile, Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei claimed on Thursday that the US had "achieved no gains from this war". Amid the tension between the two countries, questions have been raised about the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which will be co-hosted by the US and in which Iran will compete. Next year, Iran can only avoid matches in the US if they are placed in Group A, which is exclusively played in Mexico, another of the tournament's three hosts. According to the tournament system, if Iran tops Group A, it will play its round of 32 and round of 16 matches in Mexico. However, if they advance further into the knockout rounds, they would have to move to the US, potentially opening the door to unprecedented diplomatic and security issues. Under FIFA regulations, there is no provision that would prevent Iranians from playing on US soil, even though the Trump administration recently imposed a travel ban on Iranian nationals. An exemption could apply to Iran's football squad and its staff. Internal FIFA consultations are expected to be held ahead of the draw for the tournament in December. The final decision on the groupings will be made by the FIFA Council, which is chaired by the organisation's President Gianni Infantino, who has close ties to Trump. The FIFA Competitions Organising Committee - which includes representatives from the hosts Canada, Mexico and Iran and which is chaired by UEFA President Aleksander Čeferin - will play an advisory role. The European position could set a precedent, as UEFA decided in 2022 to separate Ukraine and Belarus in the draw for European competitions, following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Euronews has reached out to FIFA for comment about the US and Iran's involvement at next year's tournament. The Iranian national team secured its qualification to the World Cup for the fourth consecutive time in March. It competed in the last tournament in Qatar in 2022, where it faced its American counterpart in a match that attracted widespread political and media attention.
