(Sebastian Starcevic – Politico) The EU is gearing up for a monster week during which leaders will grapple with some of the toughest questions facing the continent. Their mission: Figure out how to make Europe a strong global player in an increasingly ruthless world. That means making the EU more economically competitive, reducing dependency on the U.S., and helping Ukraine resist Russia’s grinding, four-year invasion. The coming days will show whether “Europe can turn around and become truly united, fully mature and independent,” former Italian Prime Minister Enrico Letta told POLITICO. Just as the signing of the Maastricht Treaty in 1992 “made Europe what it has become over the past 35 years,” Letta said, “now we must do the same thing again.”
