A 30% tariff on EU exports would hurt businesses, consumers and patients on both sides of the Atlantic. We will continue working towards an agreement by August 1. At the same time, we are ready to safeguard EU interests on the basis of proportionate countermeasures.

Free and fair trade drives prosperity, creates jobs and strengthens supply chains. Tariffs are taxes. They fuel inflation, create uncertainty and hinder economic growth. We will continue to build strong trade partnerships worldwide. The EU remains firm, united and ready to

A truly historic day for #Mosul #Iraq 🇮🇶. The reopening of the Al Nuri mosque, 8 years after it was destroyed by ISIS, is a symbol of resilience and hope. As UN SRSG for Iraq in 2014, I witnessed the city’s darkest hours. Thank you #UNESCO #UAE and #EU for making this possible.

As a mother, the fate of abducted Ukrainian children is profoundly close to my heart. Every child taken by Russia must be reunited with their family. They must be given back their childhood and the chance to dream of a brighter future. Europe is committed to making this

Today I want to share the story of Sasha, a Ukrainian child abducted by Russia. Sadly, his story is far from unique. With Ukraine & other partners, I will host a Summit of the International Coalition for the Return of Ukrainian Children. Every abducted child must be returned!

Heartwarming, poignant and emotional moment at #SOTEU to help understand what Ukraine is going through. Ursula von der Leyen presented Sasha, a Ukrainian child abducted by Russia. Every abducted child must be returned!

🇵🇸In her #SOTEU speech, #vonderLeyen proposes to: * stop all EU payments to Israel (except to civil society) * sanction extremist ministers and violent settlers * suspend part of the trade agreement * set up a financial instrument for Gaza reconstruction

What is happening in Gaza has shaken the conscience of the world. Man-made famine can never be a weapon of war. This must stop. EU aid to Gaza far outweighs that of any other partner. But of course, Europe needs to do more. Here are measures for a way forward ↓

Today, we reaffirm our unwavering commitment to 🇺🇦, as announced by President Ursula von der Leyen. ✅New reparation loan backed by immobilised Russian assets and to be repaid only once Russia pays reparations ✅Frontloading €6bn of MFA loans to meet Ukraine’s urgent military needs 1/2

Thank you, Ursula von der Leyen, for honoring our brave Greek firefighters who stood by Spain this summer. Their courage embodies the spirit of European solidarity at its best — united we protect, united we prevail.

At today’s #SOTEU, Ursula von der Leyen honoured Lt. Nikolaos Paisios, who led 20 Greek rangers to fight devastating fires in Asturias, Spain. For 5 days, they stood side by side with Spanish crews and saved a village. True European heroes. Ευχαριστώ, Nikolaos. 🇬🇷🇪🇸🇪🇺

⚡️ EU's von der Leyen floats new Ukraine reparations loan funded by Russian assets. The proposed solution would stop short of confiscating Russian sovereign assets but provide additional funding to Ukraine as it faces Moscow's ongoing all-out invasion. kyivindependent.com/von-der-leyen-…

Se continuiamo frammentati in 27 non avremo che la scelta se essere una colonia 🇨🇳 o una colonia 🇺🇸. L’annuncio oggi del progetto di integrazione del #SingleMarket con la scadenza vincolante del #2028 è un’occasione unica per rafforzare l’Europa 🇪🇺 e la nostra sicurezza. #Eu28

I spoke with President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen. I thanked her for the strong State of the Union Address and the clear message regarding €6 billion for drone production in Ukraine. We must find even more ways to use frozen Russian assets for the benefit of
