With Goli Sheikholeslami, CEO Politico Media Group, at the Gala Dinner of Politico 28 in Brussels, 10 Dicember 2024. Thank you for a most enjoyable transatlantic conversation.

We can prevent the next big war on #NATO territory and preserve our way of life. This requires us all to be faster and fiercer. It is time to shift to a wartime mindset. And turbo-charge our defence production and defence spending.

When we put our minds and political will to it, there is nothing we cannot do – Europe and North America together. Our adversaries should remember that there is no greater power than democracies coming together. When we are attacked, our response is fierce.

If #NATO Allies don’t spend more together now to prevent war, we will pay a much, much, much higher price later to fight it. Not billions, but trillions of euros. That’s if we come out on top…and that’s if we win.

It was a great privilege to brief today at NATO HQ in Brussels, the members of the Executive Committee of the Danish Liberal Party, led by the Minister of Defense and Deputy Prime Minister Troels Lund Poulsen

Even in the most despicable of human expressions — #war — there are rules. International humanitarian #law exists to protect civilians, even amidst conflict. Today’s brutal attack on #Sumy 🇺🇦 where civilians were once again targeted, on a holy day for so many, is another

It is only with a strong defence that NATO can keep its people safe  📈 Allies are stepping up their defence investment to build a stronger, fairer, more capable Alliance to counter the threats we face

With my long-time friend Amb. Giampiero Massolo, former Director of National Intelligence, during the presentation of his new book: "Real Politik, How to Face the Global Disorder", at the Embassy of Italy in Brussels, on 30 April 2025.

1/ This week, I met with my Estonian counterpart, Ambassador Jüri Luik, and was truly impressed by Estonia’s commitment to increased defense spending and strengthening the Alliance. Estonia recently announced it would spend over 5% of its GDP on defense next year, a goal President Donald J. Trump

🆕 Mark Rutte confirms new capability targets The targets are the basis for a new defence investment plan calling for Allies to invest 5% of GDP in defence, including 3.5% on core defence spending, as well as 1.5% of GDP per year on defence and security-related investment

Russia’s continued massive attacks against Ukrainian civilians are deplorable. Earlier today I urged leaders to go further so Ukraine has more ammunition & air defences. I’ve just spoken with President Trump & am now working closely with Allies to get Ukraine the help they need
