In Sillicon Valley, I sat down with Rishi Iyengar from Foreign Policy to discuss the complexity of tech regulation, EU-U.S. relations, China, the wars in Ukraine and Gaza & the need for Europe to assume its strategic responsibility.

Here the interview:

Homophobia, Biphobia & Transphobia must have no place in the world. Still, #LGBTI persons are target of violence & stigmatisation: we condemn this.

The EU works on inclusive policies, to build a world in which every person can live free & equal. #IDAHOT

The EU has to increase its strategic responsibility and be a stronger security provider, including through partnerships.

On 28-29 May, we will gather in Brussels partners from all around the world for the #SchumanForum , to join forces for global peace and stability.

70 years ago was adopted the Hague Convention for Protection of Cultural Property in Armed Conflict.
We condemn deliberate targeting of cultural heritage sites.
Cultural heritage is a tool for reconciliation & driver for peace.
My statement w/ Iliana Ivanova

Fascinating look into the future of mobility at Waymo.

Their self-driving cars are already a reality on the streets of San Francisco.

The EU urges Israel to end immediately its military operation in Rafah, that is leading to more internal displacement, exposure to famine & human suffering.
We condemn Hamas’ attack in Kerem Shalom.
We call on parties to redouble efforts for a ceasefire.

I’m outraged by the repeated & still unchecked attacks perpetrated by Israeli extremists on aid convoys on their way to Gaza, including from Jordan. Hundreds of thousands of civilians are starving.

IL authorities must stop these operations & hold those responsible accountable.

Insightful exchange with Condoleezza Rice who shared her valuable experience on Russia/Ukraine, the Middle East, China and her expectations for the upcoming US elections.
