- EU chief and Trump agreed on the need to cut Moscow’s energy revenues
EU chief Ursula von der Leyen said Tuesday she discussed Russia’s repeated airspace violations with US President Donald Trump, and agreed on the need to cut Moscow’s energy revenues.
The European Commission president said she and Trump “addressed the Kremlin’s provocations, including regular incursions into European airspace” on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly.
Von der Leyen also said the two “agreed on the need to cut Russia’s revenues from fossil fuels, and fast” to pressure Moscow over the war in Ukraine, pointing to plans announced by the EU to speed up efforts to end all its purchases.
