https://lnkd.in/ecDSrKNq America wants to buy TotalEnergies while France are reluctant to cut off completely relationship from Russia's Novatek. Minister of Economy and Finance Bruno Lemaire declared on Thursday that he intended to fight so that the planned transfer of the main listing of the French giant TotalEnergies from Paris to New York "does not take place". The government does not want to let this French flagship go even Mr Bruno Lemaire didn't managed to bring Russia's economy on its knees as he vowed in March 2022 : https://lnkd.in/esWam7hM 2 years after the start of the war in Ukraine, TotalEnergies remains a shareholder in Novatek, the number 2 Russian gas company, but also in the Yamal LNG gas liquefaction plant in western Siberia and in Arctic LNG 2, under construction in the 'Russian Arctic. Above all, the French major still sells 4 million tonnes of Russian liquefied natural gas (LNG) per year via its long-term contract with Yamal LNG... notably to Europe, which does not provide for any sanctions.

An interesting development from the cauldron that is the Middle East. https://lnkd.in/gXxcMqCJ

My take on the concept of Medium Forces Concept (Mittlere Kräfte) for Lithuanian National Television. „Medium forces will not be enough. But the question needs to be raised even more broadly - what kind of war do we envisage in general? The Russian Federation is a nuclear power that has established the use of tactical nuclear weapons in its doctrine. Our military and political decision makers are currently anticipating a war that is very similar to the war in Ukraine. The possible use of nuclear weapons is not currently being seriously considered. However, it is necessary to consider strengthening NATO's nuclear capabilities, especially its tactical nuclear weapons. NATO is primarily a nuclear alliance.“ „NATO allies must show more clearly that they are ready to defend the Baltic countries. The Kaliningrad region, which could threaten sea, land and airspace, would make it much more difficult to bring troops in once a war has already begun. In general, this will be a difficult endeavour without a solid nuclear component.“

On 25th July 2024, the #SADC #COMESA #EAC Tripartite FTA will enter into force. It should be recalled that the Tripartite FTA largely (practically) inspired the negotiations for the #AfCFTA, and its effective implementation could scale up that of the #AfCFTA as the latter hinges on the functionality of RECs to for implementation. Nevertheless, like other arrangements, entry into force is one thing, implementation is another.
