From the newsroom: what stories will shape 2026?
On Tuesday, 27 January, AmCham EU was joined by senior journalists from Bloomberg, EURACTIV, the Financial Times, and POLITICO to explore the issues set to dominate the headlines in 2026. The reporters first took stock of what has happened in the past weeks – a year already marked by instability, policy uncertainty and a deteriorating transatlantic relationship, before turning to the consequences of these shifts. Afterwards they examined deepening geopolitical fragmentation and the realignment of global trade, and how these trends are reshaping competitiveness and policy priorities.
The panel included Henry Foy, Brussels Bureau Chief, Financial Times; Matthew Karnitschnig, Editor-in-Chief, EURACTIV; Suzanne Lynch, Brussels Bureau Chief, Bloomberg and Joanna Roberts, Senior EU Policy Editor, POLITICO. The discussion was moderated by Thibaut L'Ortye, Senior Director of Public Affairs, AmCham EU.
