Americans are desperately Googling how to ‘move to Europe’. We should welcome them | Alexander Hurst

The EU ’s first bold move to lead by example in the new Trump era should be to seize 200bn euros’ worth of frozen Russian central bank assets and transfer them to Ukraine as a form of pre-emptive reparations.

Part of the money raised should be earmarked for the European Space Agency to develop a crewed vehicle that can guarantee European astronauts independent access to orbit.

There is a unique chance for Europe to roll out a red carpet of special visas and ease the path for highly educated Americans who want to flee Trumpmerica .

Or perhaps to partner with US universities that might eventually seek to establish satellite campuses for students and staff who can no longer be located in the US .
