Summit tensionat la Bruxelles. Liderii UE nu s-au înțeles pe buget și s-au certat pe taxa de carbon

EU leaders failed to reach an agreement on the budget for 2028-2034 after lengthy negotiations in Brussels. A three-hour dispute over the new carbon tax ended with a compromise, requiring further assessment by the European Commission. The leaders aim to finalize the budget by the end of the year, but upcoming elections in key member states could delay discussions. They also discussed measures to address rising energy prices and support affected industries. The second day of the summit will focus on the war in Ukraine, with President Zelensky addressing the leaders for additional support.
