EU Recasts 27-Nation Green Deal to Boost Industry Against China and the US

Summary
Brussels has rewritten the Green Deal around competitiveness, making new climate laws prove a clear economic benefit before they can advance.
That shift has triggered reviews of existing rules, with older green policies often diluted to ease pressure on European companies facing rivals in China and the United States.
The overhaul follows a year of efforts to pair decarbonization with an industrial revival, recasting the bloc’s flagship climate agenda as an economic strategy as well as an environmental one.
The result is a sharper trade-off for the 27-country EU: preserving climate ambition while responding to industrial competition and mounting climate impacts such as wildfires.
