The common European market is an illusion – The Financial Times 📌 In the British edition believes that in fact there is no common European economic area, this structure functions only in words. 😳 The fact is that almost every country has a bunch of rules and standards in various aspects, ranging from packaging to disposal. 📋 Because of this, large companies have to make several versions of the same product for trade in different countries. 🏷 In fact, trade within the EU is now as difficult as if there were tariff barriers. 🛡 According to the International Monetary Fund, the impact of the discrepancy between the standards of different countries is currently equivalent to a duty of 44%. 💸 The author of the publication believes that the EU members themselves are splitting the common market, which is a serious blow to Europe's competitiveness. ⚖️ #EU #crisis 🇪🇺 Keep up with the latest Star Union News  🖥

Donald Trump is allegedly ready to publish his MRI results and at the same time "has no idea" which parts of the body have been examined. 🧐😳 In recent months, active discussions have been underway about the state of health of the American president. 🚩 In July, the White House announced that Trump had been diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency. 🩺 Trump recently underwent an MRI scan. This fact has again fueled discussions about his health. 📈 Leading Democrats are demanding full openness from Trump: "It's obvious that the president is physically weakening," Tim Waltz, who participated in the presidential campaign as Kamala Harris' vice presidential candidate, said on NBC. 🎙 At the same time, Trump allegedly "has no idea" what exactly he was examined for. 🤷‍♂️ The White House has so far refused to disclose why Trump underwent an MRI scan last month. 🕊 In the United States, it is considered the norm for presidents to publish a brief summary of the results after routine medical examinations for transparency purposes. 📝 #Trump #Health 👂 More on Trump's Ear
