I deeply regret the U.S. decision to impose tariffs on EU automotive exports.   Tariffs are taxes – bad for businesses, worse for consumers, in the US and the EU.   The EU will continue to seek negotiated solutions, while safeguarding its economic interests ↓

This 4th Ukraine meeting was another demonstration of European unity. In making the Ukrainian Armed Forces the best security guarantee to defend their country. Today and in the long term. To achieve peace, Ukraine must be strong, Europe must be strong.
