Record Heatwaves in Europe and US-Iran Attacks
Today's briefing reports on extreme heatwaves in Europe and the escalation of armed conflicts. While historical temperature records are being broken in Germany, an exchange of fire has occurred between the US and Iran in the Middle East, and Ukraine is implementing a new plan to end the war.
Pay attention to your health and potential travel disruptions due to the record heatwaves in our western neighbors. A historical temperature record was set in Germany on Friday afternoon, and the heatwave is moving across the continent. Extreme weather conditions may affect well-being as well as the stability of transport and power grids.
In the field of international security, there has been a sharp escalation: the US attacked targets in Iran, and in response, Iran shelled American bases. Simultaneously, Ukraine is launching a 40-day special operation aimed at increasing pressure on the Kremlin and bringing the war to an end. In Crimea itself, a state of emergency has been declared due to fuel and power shortages following a series of Ukrainian strikes.
You can expect higher prices for goods from the US if Poland or other countries introduce digital taxes (fees for services provided online by tech giants). Donald Trump has announced the imposition of 100% tariffs on imports from countries that opt for such a solution, which would directly hit the wallets of consumers buying American products.
