Trump’s withdrawal from Paris climate deal ‘truly unfortunate’ or even ‘fatal’ – Europe live

EU climate chief warns rising temperatures are potentially catastrophic' while outgoing German vice-chancellor urges Europe to continue low-carbon focus

In the last few minutes, von der Leyen has been speaking about what will be the EU's position on Ukraine given potential changes in the US policy under Trump.

This is what she said:

I think we should never forget where it all started. Ukraine is a sovereign country, and it determined its own future by asking for accession to the EU. That's where it all started. The response was an invasion by its neighbour, Russia.

We should also never forget ... it is never only about the security of Ukraine, but about European security.
