EU leaders open crunch summit on energy, China and budget
Original: EU leaders enter crunch talks on energy, China and the budget
European Union leaders have begun a summit in Brussels tackling three contentious files: energy policy, relations with China, and the bloc's long-term budget. Talks on energy focus on prices and security of supply, while discussions on China cover economic dependence and de-risking. The multi-year budget is expected to prove the hardest issue, with member states divided over spending priorities and support for Ukraine.
Why now: The summit brings together several divisive dossiers at a time of high energy costs, strained China ties and budget disputes among member states.
