"[T]he EU will have more, not fewer, members by the mid-2030s — possibly as many as 36 compared to today's 27."

"In the (very) long term we will likely see the EU grow from its current 27 states to as many as 35."

"There is no majority in any other member state in government, parliament or public opinion for a full exit from the EU."

There's "no room for complacency over the future prospects of disintegration."

"If we do not manage migration... In some time, the EU may fall apart."

“I believe others will leave. I do think keeping it together is not gonna be as easy as a lot of people think.”

Brexit "will trigger a domino effect."

Brexit "will set off the domino effect that will bring down all of Europe."

The tariffs will "increase prices for everything that's imported, and that includes food."

Trump tariffs would "raise prices even more for consumers."

"I am extremely confident that food will get more expensive."

Trump's tariffs would "increase the cost of US manufacturing."

"Trump is about to make every American pay even more for coffee."

"Tariffs would disrupt supply chains and increase production costs."

Parliament's ratification process was delayed twice — first after Trump threatened tariffs over Greenland, then after a U.S. Supreme Court ruling struck down earlier U.S. tariff measures, prompting Washington to impose new duties on EU goods.

Following agreement by the European Parliament, the agreement must be approved by the Council of the European Union, compromised of ministerial representatives of each EU nation. Negotiations are set to begin April 13.

EU Trade Commissioner Maros Sefcovic called the vote a "crucial step," while rapporteur Bernd Lange said MEPs would "only be able to sign up to the trade terms of the deal" if strong safeguards were included. Negotiations with EU governments are set to begin April 13.
