He calls for a United States of Europe because the “global order is dead” and the main threat we face now is “what replaces it”. Both Draghi and Letta will join EU leaders two weeks from now at a [gathering](https://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/press/press-releases/2026/02/02/informal-eu-leaders-retreat-of-12-february-2026-invitation-letter-by-president-antonio-costa-to-the-members-of-the-european-council/) about the future of Europe at a castle in Limburg.
