Nothing open. Every check passed.
The European Union's top diplomat, Kaja Kallas, used an exclusive FRANCE 24 interview to draw a hard line on Russia sanctions: the United States 'can't negotiate on our behalf.' Her comment lands as Europe watches whether President Donald Trump's foreign policy changes after the US midterm elections.
Kallas holds the EU's High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy post, and she's a former prime minister of Estonia. In the sit-down she ranged across the war in Ukraine, the situation in the Middle East and the sanctions question, according to FRANCE 24.
She also made the case for the EU as a major player on the global geopolitical stage. The exclusive interview runs 12:50 minutes, issued on 11/11/2026 and conducted by Caroline de Camaret, with the programme prepared by Oihana Almandoz, Jonathan Walsh, Perrine Desplats and Isabelle Romero.
