'Perfect storm' of crises threatening EU's security and economic models, report warns

The article from MSN discusses a report by the European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR) which warns that the European Union is facing a "perfect storm" of crises that threaten its security and economic models. The report highlights several converging challenges including the ongoing war in Ukraine, the potential return of Donald Trump to the U.S. presidency, and the rise of far-right parties within Europe itself. These issues are compounded by economic pressures such as inflation, energy crises, and the need for economic transformation towards sustainability. The ECFR suggests that these factors could lead to a significant shift in European politics, potentially destabilizing the EU's unity and its ability to act cohesively on the global stage. The report calls for a strategic rethink of EU policies to address these multifaceted threats, emphasizing the need for stronger defense capabilities, economic resilience, and a more unified foreign policy approach.
