The late-night accord carves up the EU's top institutional jobs for the five years to come.
BRUSSELS – EU leaders struck a summit deal Thursday to return Ursula von der Leyen as head of the powerful European Commission, while tapping Estonia's prime minister Kaja Kallas as the bloc's top diplomat.
Tested during her first term by multiple crises from the Covid pandemic to the Ukraine war, former German defence minister von der Leyen -- if confirmed -- faces a no less daunting set of challenges from the Russian threat to climate change and a rising China. "There's war in Europe, but there's also growing instability globally, that also are the main challenges for the European foreign policy," she said.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz hailed the "quick, forward-looking" decisions on top jobs, saying the nominess would "ensure that Europe is well positioned in challenging times in the coming years."With France heading to the polls Sunday for the first round of an election where the far-right National Rally has a chance of leading the government, there was clear eagerness to get the EU jobs squared away.
