Yesterday I hosted a lunch with @cfr.org to talk about trade, Ukraine, defence, energy, visas, and why I'm confident the EU-US partnership will endure. Our strong ties are necessary for business to thrive, and a strong economy allows us to tackle the challenges we face.

At the @cnas.bsky.social National Security Conference. Europeans are already No. 1 customers of the US defence industry (35%) — their most important market. Clearly, there is no "Fortress Europe." In fact the EU must develop its own security architecture to bolster transatlantic collaboration.

Thank you @cepa.org for the invite to speak at #SCSPAIExpo25, where government, academia, and industry are sharing critical insights on AI and emerging tech. Reinforcing EU competitiveness in this field is a top priority for @ec.europa.eu Here is how we are taking action. 👇

What a wonderful treat to host local students at the Delegation as part of the Embassy Adoption Program. Their curiosity about Europe shows they are already thinking like global citizens, and we need more of that! Through their studies, they are building a bridge between our two continents. 🌉🇪🇺

Great meeting with the Global Business Alliance, which promotes an open economy & welcomes international companies to invest in the US. Naturally, we discussed current transatlantic economic and diplomatic issues that are affecting businesses on both sides of the Atlantic. Good to stay in touch.

Devastating news that members of our Washington diplomatic community have lost their lives to violence. We are shocked. Sending support and my deepest condolences to Ambassador Leiter, the embassy, and the larger Israeli community after such a heinous crime.

Trade was the topic du jour while in Cincinnati yesterday. Both in a GWU webinar and at the EACC gala, I emphasized: The impact of tariffs will be felt acutely at the state and local levels. EU-Ohio ties are building blocks of our shared prosperity. Let's keep it that way.

Fascinating visit to Ohio’s flagship public research university to meet Ohio State President Ted Carter. OSU has a long-standing research relationship with the EU. Academic cooperation builds lasting, people-first connections, so we encourage OSU students to explore our programs. Go Buckeyes!

Good meeting with Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine (+ pup Dolly). I appreciate his support for Ukraine, given Ohio's large Ukrainian diaspora. I also noted his concern over tariffs. The EU wants to avoid disruptions to our economies — Ohio exports over $12 billion annually to the EU. We want to work together.

A pleasure to meet Oklahoma Governor Stitt last night. The EU has invested $22 billion in Oklahoma and received almost $3 billion in goods/services exports from the state. The EU wants a negotiated trade solution that protects and and further develops this partnership for decades to come.

Hard to believe that over 3,000 people experienced our #EUOpenHouse today. This beautifully demonstrates a deep love of Europe and everything it offers to our American friends. Thank you for celebrating with us!

#EUOpenHouse has officially begun! In addition to over 20 European embassies, be sure to stop by the EU Delegation to enjoy free food, make music, test your knowledge, and take photos. Will I see you?

75 years of the European Union. What an achievement for the European leaders who saw a better future for this continent than war and tragedy. I am so honoured to lead the EU Delegation to the US at this milestone, when strong EU-US relations have never been more important. Happy #EuropeDay to all!

With #VEDay, we celebrate 40 years since President Ronald Reagan’s speech at @europarl.europa.eu, when he shared his belief in the United States as a global leader and partner for the democracies of Europe. That a stronger EU meant a stronger United States and vice versa. We remember.

80 years ago, the end of World War II changed Europe forever. Europeans are grateful to the American soldiers who helped bring an end to this terrible era. From these ashes, political leaders said "never again" and in 1950, announced plans for what would become the EU. #VEDay

Special meeting of the EU Ambassadors, with participation from Ukraine, Norway, Switzerland, and Lichtenstein. We heard from @oksanamarkarova.bsky.social the latest on Russia’s war against her country, including possible pathways to peace. There can be no solution without Ukraine’s inclusion.

Great meeting Gov. Ned Lamont while visiting Connecticut, one of the nation’s most highly educated, highly productive workforces. We are aligned in many ways: energy, education, healthcare, Ukraine — plus the 63K jobs supported by EU investment. May our ties continue to flourish!

A great group of American & European think tankers joined me to for dinner to discuss the Defence White Paper, a pillar of the EU's renewed approach to defence. On a warm spring evening, we answered questions, dispelled myths, and got valuable reactions from these sharp experts.

At the Hinckley Institute at University of Utah to tell the EU story: The EU believes in peace through strength because we have lived it. Free trade is a huge part of that.

Trump's tariff announcement is a major blow, not just to the world economy, but also to individual US states. With Sen. Marsha Blackburn I underscored that over 84K Tennessee jobs are supported by EU investment, with medical supplies as the biggest sector. Consumers cannot afford this.

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.

Great to meet Bertram Kawlath, President of VDMA. VDMA represents 3,600+ machinery & engineering companies worldwide. With VDMA North America, European engineering excellence drives growth and creates job across the US. Once again I heard loud and clear: US tariffs threaten this success story.
