BRUSSELS: The European Union’s industry chief Stephane Sejourne said on Wednesday the US’ threats to cut trade with Spain are threats made to the whole bloc.
“A threat to one member state is a threat to the whole European Union,” he told reporters.
US President Donald Trump threatened to impose a full US trade embargo on Spain on Tuesday after the European and NATO ally said it would not let the US military use its bases for missions linked to strikes on Iran.
GENEVA: A bus fire that killed at least six people in western Switzerland was likely set intentionally but probably not as an act of terror, police said on Wednesday.
The fire broke out on the bus in the main street of the small town of Kerzers, around 20 kilometers (12 miles) west of the Alpine nation’s capital Bern, at about 6:25 p.m. (1725 GMT) Tuesday.
In an interview on Wednesday morning with Swiss national broadcaster RTS, Fribourg Canton police communications chief Martial Pugin confirmed that while “an intentional act is the most likely scenario,” “at present there is no evidence” it was a terror attack.
