L'UE défend son industrie audiovisuelle face aux droits de douane américains
À Bruxelles, l'imposition de droits de douane américains sur les films produits à l'étranger a suscité une levée de boucliers. Les ministres de la Culture des 27 entendent se mobiliser pour défendre l'industrie audiovisuelle européenne. Selon la ministre française de la Culture Rachita Dati, la nouvelle mesure tarifaire américaine pourrait se retourner contre les États-Unis eux-mêmes. "Finalement, ça serait le secteur de l'industrie américaine qui serait la première pénalisée. Nous, la France, on est vraiment un pays attractif pour le cinéma. On l'a vu sur les tournages. On a de plus en plus de tournage et de production étrangère qui viennent en France. On s'en réjouit" a déclaré la ministre. " Il est très important qu'ils sachent que nous serons à leurs côtés. Nous pensons qu'elles constituent un segment très important de notre culture. Nous les défendrons, nous défendrons leur travail, leur créativité et nous défendrons nos règles", a également assuré Ernest Urtasun, ministre espagnol de la Culture. Donald Trump a également pris pour cible la directive européenne sur l'audiovisuel. Le texte impose aux plateformes de streaming de proposer un quota d'œuvres européennes et à investir dans leur production en contrepartie de l'accès au marché audiovisuel de l'UE. Les mesures tarifaires américaines pourraient entraîner un désengagement financier des géants du streaming, avec des conséquences graves pour la production audiovisuelle européenne et sa diversité culturelle et linguistique. Réunis mardi à Bruxelles, les ministres de la Culture des 27 ont débattu d'une possible révision du texte. The Trump administration wants to hear this week how NATO's European member countries and Canada plan to boost defence spending to 5% of GDP, new US envoy Matthew Whitaker has said. Briefing reporters ahead of a meeting of NATO foreign ministers in Turkey, US Ambassador Matthew Whitaker insisted that "5% is our number. We're asking our allies to invest in their defence like they mean it." "Make no mistake, this ministerial is going to be different,' Whitaker said, adding that "5% is not just a number, it is a necessity for our security. The alliance is facing significant threats." He did elaborate on what those threats were. In 2023, as Russia's full-scale war on Ukraine entered its second year, NATO leaders agreed to spend at least 2% of GDP on national defence budgets. So far, 22 of the 32 member countries have done so and leaders will set a new goal at a summit in The Hague on 25 June. Trump, who has cast doubt over whether the US would defend allies that spend too little, insists NATO members should commit to spending at least 5%, but that would require investment at an unprecedented scale. NATO leaders insisted at a summit last year that "Russia remains the most significant and direct threat to Allies' security," but some countries have grown uneasy about Trump's links to President Vladimir Putin. Last week, Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof said that NATO's chief expects the leaders "to aim for 3.5% hard military spending by 2032," and to "1.5% related spending such as infrastructure, cybersecurity and things like that. Also achievable by 2032." While the two figures do add up to 5%, factoring in infrastructure and cybersecurity would change the basis on which NATO traditionally calculates defence spending. The seven-year time frame is also short by the alliance's usual standards. Asked about his demand, NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte did not deny it, but he said: "I'm not going to confirm the figures." He said that "there are many rumours floating around" as envoys discuss the new spending goal. Whitaker appeared to confirm the "defence investment" plan, saying that it "also includes things like mobility, necessary infrastructure, cyber security. It is definitely more than just missiles, tanks and howitzers." "But at the same time, it's got to be defence-related. It's not a grab bag for everything that you could possibly imagine," Whitaker added. It remains difficult to see how many allies might reach even 3.5% of GDP on defence investment. NATO's most recent estimates show that 22 allies would reach the 2% goal last year, compared to a previous forecast of 23. Belgium, Canada, Croatia, Italy, Luxembourg, Montenegro, Portugal, Slovenia and Spain would not, although Spain does expect to reach the 2% goal in 2025, a year too late. Even the United States was estimated to have spent 3.19% of GDP in 2024, down from 3.68% a decade ago, when all members vowed to increase spending after Russia annexed Ukraine's Crimean Peninsula. It's the only ally whose spending has dropped. Whitaker also said that any European investments in "defence industry capabilities must also include the fair treatment for American defence technology firms." He said that excluding the US and others "would undermine NATO interoperability, slow Europe's rearming, raise costs and stifle innovation." Last month, the European Union announced a new drive to break its security dependency on the United States, with a focus on buying more defence equipment in Europe.

USA defeats Canada in wild gold medal showdown at Women's World Championship
ČESKÉ BUDĚJOVICE, Czechia — Team USA won the IIHF Women's World Championship 4-3 in overtime against Team Canada on Sunday. Penn State star forward Tessa Janecke scored the game-winning goal with just under three minutes left in the first overtime period in another thrilling edition of the cross-border rivalry. Advertisement After the first period ended 0-0, it seemed like it might be another tight contest between the top two teams in the world. But things got wild in the second period with four goals in less than three minutes — Team USA pulled ahead 2-0 in just 30 seconds, and Canada quickly drew even to halt the U.S. momentum. Taylor Heise looked like she put the game away 3-2 in the third period, but Sarah Fillier tied the game with five minutes remaining to set the stage for yet another overtime finale between Canada and the USA. This is Team USA's second world championship gold medal in three years, after winning in 2023. Here are three takeaways from the game. For a few minutes in the second period, it looked like we were due for another wild 6-5 overtime game like last year's finale in Utica, N.Y. U.S. defender Caroline Harvey opened the scoring seven minutes into the frame, capitalizing on some mayhem in front of the net with a perfectly placed shot. Thirty seconds later, Kendall Coyne Schofield chipped a puck deep into Canada's zone, which Abbey Murphy corralled and put past Ann-Renée Desbiens. 🇺🇸 @usahockey scores twice in 29 seconds to open the gold medal game! ⚡️💪 #WomensWorlds #IIHF — IIHF (@IIHFHockey) April 20, 2025 With a 2-0 lead, it felt like the U.S. could run away with things. They didn't. Not even one minute after Murphy's goal, Danielle Serdachny — who scored the game-winner in overtime at last year's worlds — cut the lead in half. Jennifer Gardiner tied things 2-2 less than one minute after that. 🇨🇦 @hockeycanada answers back with two goals in 55 seconds! 😮🔥 #WomensWorlds #IIHF — IIHF (@IIHFHockey) April 20, 2025 Canada got a power play opportunity shortly after stealing all the momentum (and then another before the period ended), but when it was all said and done, both teams went to the locker room tied 2-2. All four goals were scored in two minutes and 16 seconds. Team USA's No. 1 goalie Aerin Frankel left the game with around 15 minutes remaining in regulation after a scary collision with Canada forward Laura Stacey. On the play, Frankel left her crease to play a puck while the U.S. was on the power play. Stacey, one of Canada's top penalty killers, was chasing the puck down and collided right into Frankel, who stayed on the ice for several very quiet moments in a normally loud Budvar Arena. Laura Stacey entre SOLIDEMENT en collision avec la gardienne américaine Aerin Frankel ! 😯#ChampionnatduMondedeHockeyFéminin — RDS (@RDSca) April 20, 2025 Frankel, who backstopped a U.S. win at the 2023 worlds, was replaced by Gwyneth Philips, who is playing in her first women's world championships. Stacey was called for charging on the play, which set up a five-on-three for Team USA, with Sarah Nurse already in the box for elbowing. Heise made quick work of the two-player advantage to give the U.S. a 3-2 lead, which they held until Fillier's game-tying goal late in the third. Advertisement Frankel had kept the game close, making 27 saves on 29 shots she faced. In relief, Philips made 17 saves on 18 shots, including all 10 she faced in overtime. Heading into the gold medal game, Team USA's scoring efficiency (operating at 9 percent) was a bit of a red flag. So much so that head coach John Wroblewski said 'it's astonishing that we haven't scored more goals.' On Saturday night in the semis against Czechia, the U.S. only scored two goals on 45 shots. During the quarterfinals, they only scored three goals on 51 shots. In the first period, it looked like there could be more of the same with zero goals on eight shots. More concerning were the Grade-A chances that didn't even get on net. Late in the period, Canadian defender Claire Thompson served Grace Zumwinkle the puck on a platter, but it never got out of Zumwinkle's skates, let alone on net. When it mattered most, though, the American's top young players delivered with four goals on 22 shots in the final two periods and overtime. This story will be updated.
