Excellent meeting with President Emmanuel Macron in Paris to prepare the #NATOSummit in Washington. More support to Ukraine will be our most urgent task, as we also take steps to continue strengthening NATO’s deterrence and defence. As always, #France will play a key role.
I warmly welcome #NATO Allies' choice of Dick Schoof Mark Rutte as my successor. Mark is a true transatlanticist, a strong leader and a consensus-builder. I wish him every success as we continue to strengthen NATO. I know I am leaving NATO in good hands. shorturl.at/bk3uy

Honoured and humbled to receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom from President Biden Biden. I see this as a recognition not just for me, but for the millions of men and women who serve our great Alliance, in and out of uniform. We are stronger and safer together in #NATO.

My congratulations to my friend Ursula von der Leyen on a second term at the helm of the European Commission. #NATO’s strategic partnership with the #EU contributes to strengthening security in Europe and beyond.
Great to meet the new 🇳🇱PM Dick Schoof. As a founding and committed member of #NATO, the Netherlands is a valued Ally. I thanked him for his country’s contributions to the Alliance, spending 2% of GDP on defence and for the unwavering support to Ukraine.
Important #EuropeanPoliticalCommunity meeting today, hosted by UK PM Keir Starmer. European security and transatlantic security go hand in hand, and NATO is the cornerstone of European security. The time to stand for freedom & democracy is now. And the place is Ukraine.
