Hello, I'm Stephen Carroll. I'm in Brussels, where many of Europe's biggest decisions get made.
And I'm Caroline Hepke in London. We're the hosts of the Bloomberg Daybreak Europe podcast.
We're up early every weekday, keeping an eye on what's happening across Europe and around the world.
We do it early so the news is fresh, not recycled, and so you know what actually matters as the day gets going.
From Brussels, I'm following the politics, policy and the people shaping the European Union right now.
And from London, I'm looking at what all that means for markets, money and the wider economy.
We've got reporters across Europe and around the globe feeding in as stories break.
So whether it's geopolitics, energy, tech or markets, you're hearing it while it happens.
It's smart, calm and to the point.
And it fits into your morning.
You can find new episodes of the Bloomberg Daybreak Europe podcast by 7am in Dublin or 8am in Brussels, Berlin and Paris.
On Apple, Spotify, YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts. Karen, efforts to end the war with Iran are looking complicated this morning. An Iranian media report says the latest U.S. proposal to stop the fighting has narrowed the gaps to some extent. But Reuters is reporting that Iran's supreme leader, Mojtaba Hameini, has ordered the country's highly enriched uranium stockpile not to be sent abroad. President Trump says that is a non-starter.
We get the highly enriched. We will get it. We don't need it. We don't want it. We'll probably destroy it after we get it, but we're not going to let them have it.
And President Trump's also coming out against a plan by Iran and Oman to set up a permanent toll system through the Strait of Hormuz. Bloomberg's Stuart Livingston-Wallace reports that could be a major sticking point.
This is, as Trump says, an international waterway, and traditionally you don't have tolls on that, and I think it would be very difficult to
Bloomberg's Stuart Livingston-Wallace reports President Trump's threatened to resume attacks within days if Iran does not agree to his terms, though he's made that threat several times before.
Meantime, Nathan, on Capitol Hill, House Republican leaders abruptly called off a vote to authorize the Iran war. Armed Services Chair Mike Rogers says not enough Republicans were present for the vote. Massachusetts Democrat Jim McGovern says it's because they're running out of support.
Gas prices are through the roof. People can't afford their groceries. Is that why you're pulling it? You guys don't have the guts. The House will be in order.
Democrat Jim McGovern blasted the canceled vote on the House floor. Last week, the House tied on a similar vote that Democrats had been forcing repeatedly to highlight the growing economic toll from the war.
And Karen, the conflict could also be affecting President Trump's decision to sign off on a $14 billion arms sale to Taiwan. Acting Navy Secretary Hung Kao told the Senate committee that the U.S. has put a temporary hold on arms sales to the island to ensure the U.S. has enough supplies for the conflict. A spokesman for Taiwan's president says there is currently no indication the U.S. plans to make any adjustments to the sale.
Nathan, President Trump says he plans to send 5,000 troops to Poland. The decision reverses a plan to suspend an army deployment to Poland, which was paused by the Pentagon a week earlier. And we get more with Bloomberg Chief European Correspondent Oliver Crook.
The United States found that actually the quickest way to pull troops out of Europe was to block the rotation that was coming into Poland. And obviously, Poland is seen as a more model ally at the moment to the United States because they're not being as disparaging as Donald Trump. And they sort of reversed that move, saying that actually they're going to send 5,000 troops to Poland. So I think net, we're talking about still a reduction in troops for the Germans, but they didn't want to punish the Poles. Interestingly, for some reason, Donald Trump cited the fact that Poles had elected the president who was an ally of Trump.
