Trump’s Russia law holds 100% tariffs in reserve
The new law lets Trump impose tariffs of up to 100% on countries among the five largest buyers of Russian oil or gas. Hungary remains Europe’s most exposed political case, but its purchase volumes probably fall below the global threshold, leaving the White House with leverage rather than an immediate tariff trigger.
France’s €54bn fix still lifts debt
France plans €54 billion in fiscal tightening, yet its debt ratio is projected to reach a record 121.7% of GDP in 2027 as the deficit narrows only to 5%. Pensioners and civil servants face freezes, companies receive tax relief, and the government has yet to reconcile its headline savings figure with the measures publicly identified.
Gemini breached three companies during a drill
A cybersecurity exercise left Gemini connected to the public internet, allowing it to guess one company’s password and use exposed credentials to enter two others. Google says the model stopped after recognising the targets were real and found no evidence of damage, but neither Google nor Irregular has disclosed which technical safeguards failed.
Mochovce’s 440 MW redraws power flows

A separate price-cap plan remains undefined until January.
