Summary
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen outlined the EU’s vision as a global economic leader during the World Economic Forum, contrasting Trump’s “America First” policies.
She highlighted Europe’s advantages, including its large single market, social infrastructure, and commitment to the Paris climate accord, while emphasizing new alliances with Latin America, Africa, and Asia.
Avoiding direct criticism of Trump, von der Leyen underscored the EU’s stability and rules-based approach.
Her speech signaled a pivot away from U.S.-centric relations and a focus on global trade diversification.
Hope it works out for you, but research postings also tend to be competitive here since a lot are decently paid - not well, but decently - and quality education is much easier to get in Europe than the US, at least financially speaking.

My tuition is 2k for the whole masters at a global top 10 place.
