Bloomberg Talks · EU Trade Commissioner Maroš Šefčovič Talks International Trade · 15 Dec 2025 podcast

And one of the costs of imbalance and the sort of dependencies has been sort of evident in the trade balance with China and something that Emmanuel Macron has been very critical of, particularly in the last week or so after his visit to Beijing, saying that there should be a more aggressive approach to dealing with the oversupply that is going into Europe.

Do you think there is appetite to deal more aggressively with this question from China?

And do you think that the trade deficit with China specifically should be targeted by the EU and that is something that they should be looking to close?

And if 350 billion is too high, what for you is a more reasonable figure?

What is the kind of goal, since we can talk concretely about kind of what we should be aiming for?

And is the anti-coercion device, for example, something that is on the table in trying to achieve that goal?

And it seemed going into sort of at the end of last week or in the middle of last week that Mercosur was more or less a done deal.

There now appears to be some question about that.

What do you think are the chances that Mercosur goes into effect, that it is signed this weekend?

Bloomberg Talks · Zelenskiy Talks US Support for Ukraine, Frozen Russian Assets · 13 Nov 2025 podcast

President Zelensky, thank you so much for taking the time for speaking with Bloomberg yet again.

Thank you very much.

I'd like to begin by taking a step back.

You've now been at war for three years and nine months almost.

There is a lot of concern.

Each of those days is measured in lives, in resources.

There's concerns that it's now a stalemate, a forever war.

Now, today, on day 1,357, from the United States and from Europe, what do you need to meaningfully change the course of the war?

Another topic at the battle lines right now, the battle for Pokrovsk is currently being waged.

There have been some suggestions from allies saying that it might make sense to have a tactical retreat to conserve military, conserve resources, conserve lives in order to regroup.
