## Resource

EU top diplomat Kaja Kallas scrapped her ambitious new advisory group meant to tackle defense gaps, sparking intrigue over power plays amid diplomatic tensions with France and Germany. Originally set to launch in Brussels with heavyweight global figures, the brain trust was seen as a way for Kallas to maintain influence as EU foreign policy reshuffles unfold — but pressure from capitals deemed it ill-timed or too risky. Behind-the-scenes coordination hiccups and political drama in Italy may have sealed its fate, revealing just how tangled high-stakes EU politics can get.
