I appreciate Chairman Buchanan's long-time support of free trade. After all, 140,000+ Florida jobs are supported by $54.3 billion in EU investment. Tariffs are taxes that harm the prosperity of hardworking Floridians. The EU is seeking a positive economic agenda that prevents this.

The universal tariffs announced by the US are a major blow to businesses and consumers worldwide. Europe is prepared to respond. We'll always protect our interests and values. We're also ready to engage. And to go from confrontation to negotiation. Full statement → europa.eu/!mHxFMh

74% of Europeans say their country benefits from EU membership—the highest support recorded in 42 years. With peace and security top of mind. 66% want a greater role for Europe in protecting them against global crisis & security risks. We hear you. And we’re ready to deliver. → europa.eu/!3VByd4

Great meeting Kjell Gruner, North America CEO @volkswagen.bsky.social. In the last years, they have invested over $20 billion in North America and created 4,000 jobs at its Tennessee facility alone — and very well paid jobs! Their engagement in the US is proof that strong EU-US trade ties matter.

Disappointed that #Louisiana and #Arizona are both resuming executions this week and continuing to use this inhumane punishment. I urge @lagovjefflandry.bsky.social and @governorhobbs.bsky.social to stop these executions and abolish the #DeathPenalty.

We deeply regret the US tariffs imposed on Europe. Tariffs are taxes. They are bad for business, and even worse for consumers. Today Europe takes strong but proportionate countermeasures. We remain ready to engage in dialogue ↓

Energy can be part of an overall positive engagement between the EU and United States. During today's #CERAWeek panel on energy security with Laurent Ruseckas, I underscored that the EU is the #1 client of 🇺🇸 US LNG. This is a solid foundation for continuing our cooperation on energy.

It's always good to have conversations on Capitol Hill, and I was glad to sit down with Senator Boozman to discuss our commitment to a lasting peace in Ukraine, as well as agricultural trade, just one facet of the $4.5 billion in goods & services traded daily between 🇪🇺 & 🇺🇸.

In Austin to attend #SXSW for the first time. I'm here to help tell the EU story of strong innovation and culture, but I also hope to learn about the tech ecosystem in the US. And maybe I will see for myself what makes Austin "weird." Find our activities at euinaustin.org

With Open Teams CEO Joe Merrill at their Defense AI Summit during #SXSW today: We are living in momentous and dangerous times. The US needs a Europe that has greater capacity to act in multiple theatres, so we're stepping up our game dramatically, with investment, innovation, and consolidation.

Two endangered Siberian tigers, Boris and Svetlaya, were raised together as orphaned cubs in Russia, and then reintroduced to the wild separately. But scientists found that Boris walked over 120 miles to reunite with Svetlaya.

lol China's state media is sad about Bluesky because it's not an easy propaganda distribution channel like X (and Facebook) www.semafor.com/article/11/2...
Chinese state media is reportedly troubled by the latest exodus of X users flocking to Bluesky. State outlets, which put considerable resources into amassing millions of followers on Elon Musk’s social media platform — including by buying ads, deploying bots, and hiring influencers — have recently seen their growth plateau.

The growing popularity of Bluesky, which has a largely liberal base and harder-to-manipulate algorithm, has sparked “worried chatter within Chinese state media circles,” a former Xinhua and China Daily employee wrote in his newsletter. He predicted the accounts will migrate to Bluesky, though it may take time. For now, the sector’s focus has shifted back to domestic, Mandarin-language channels and platforms like Bilibili, WeChat, and Douyin, the Chinese version of TikTok.

WOW! More people are visiting Bluesky than Threads, even though Bluesky has far fewer users and isn’t linked to the world’s largest social network. Incredible. Story here: www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-ne...
