What is the French idiomatic equivalent of “burning issues”?

Business Editors

Brûlant actually works very well in that case, it sounds idiomatic to me in sujets brûlants, questions brûlantes… Absolutely safe to use here.

Il nous reste à traiter les deux questions brûlantes évoquées ce matin.

Je préfère confier ce sujet particulièrement brûlant à quelqu’un d’expérimenté.

It might be your best bet over other translations, because brûlant keeps the double connotation of very urgent and very delicate. Some of that is lost in affaires urgentes given by Linguee.
