Excellent discussions today with @eucopresident.consilium.europa.eu, @president.ecb.europa.eu, and Eurogroup President Paschal Donohoe. We exchanged views on the global economic outlook, on the digital euro and on strengthening the international role of the euro.

Today, I welcome NATO Secretary General Rutte for a discussion on security. We are at a moment in Russia’s war on Ukraine where decisive action on Europe’s side, in coordination with NATO, can lead to a real turning point ↓ link.europa.eu/gcqTCJ

Welcome President Trump’s commitment to end the war in Gaza. Encourage all parties to now seize this opportunity. The EU stands ready to contribute.

🇲🇩 Moldova, you’ve done it again. 
No attempt to sow fear or division could break your resolve. You made your choice clear: 
Europe. Democracy. Freedom. Our door is open. And we will stand with you every step of the way.
 The future is yours.

10 years have passed since we adopted the Paris Agreement. Since then, the world has changed. The clean transition is moving forward.

The world can count on Europe's climate leadership. Our Nationally Determined Contribution will range between 66.25% and 72.5%. And we are working full speed on -90% by 2040. We are on our way to climate neutrality. link.europa.eu/vngFn4

The technological revolution has already brought huge benefits to our lives – and will bring more. But we can make sure tech serves us and not the other way around.

A pleasure to meet my dear friend Cyril Ramaphosa. We discussed the great geopolitical challenges of our time, from Ukraine to the Middle East. Europe is fully behind you to make your G20 presidency a success.

Europe values Guatemala’s partnership, President Arévalo. You can count on us to back your efforts to strengthen democracy in your country. We discussed how Global Gateway can drive jobs, growth and clean energy in Guatemala. Let’s take stock at Global Gateway Forum in Brussels next month.

I had a good and frank exchange with Chinese Premier Li Qiang. The main focus of our meeting was to follow up on the productive EU–China Summit in July. Read-out: link.europa.eu/77JDh8

Europe is ready to take on cyberbullying and the addictive designs that trap children in endless scrolling. We need to protect our children. We'll assess what steps we can take at EU level. So @albomp.bsky.social, we will learn from Australia’s best practices. link.europa.eu/3hWJc8

Good exchange with President Al-Sharaa on the challenges that Syria faces during its transition. The European Union continues to promote a genuine, inclusive, peaceful and Syrian-led transition, free from harmful foreign interference.

Of all the horrors unleashed by Russia’s war, none cuts deeper than the abduction of children. We will not rest until Ukraine’s children are home. The EU will host a high-level international summit to bring the world's eyes to the fate of these children. link.europa.eu/CJ9PwR

With the world united behind renewables and energy efficiency, COP28 made history. So thank you, Sultan Al Jaber. Now we must deliver on its legacy. Europe is working with industry to roll out renewables in developing countries. We’ll stay true to the spirit of COP28.

I had a good discussion with President Trump on the margins of the UN General Assembly. I thanked him for his commitment to alleviate the plight of Ukraine's missing children. Europe and the United States will work hand in hand to bring them back.

Just spoke with PM Frederiksen regarding the drones incursion around Copenhagen airport. While the facts are still being established, it is clear we are witnessing a pattern of persistent contestation at our borders.

Our deal with Indonesia creates new opportunities for businesses & farmers. It also provides Europe with a stable supply of critical raw materials, essential for our industry. We have made a commitment to double down on diversification and partnerships. And we continue to deliver.

We will set up a Palestine Donor Group. Because any future Palestinian State must be viable also from an economic point of view. And we Europeans will set up a dedicated instrument for Gaza’s reconstruction. Gaza must be rebuilt.

When the night is darkest, we must hold fast to our compass. And our compass is the Two-State Solution. My speech at the Conference on the Two-State Solution ↓ link.europa.eu/DhptCK

Good meeting with President Karin Keller-Sutter. Last year, we decided to take the 🇪🇺🇨🇭 relations to the next level. It is now time to put our agreements fully into action. By joining forces, we will make our economies more innovative and more competitive on the global stage.

President João Lourenço, I look forward to the Global Gateway Forum, where we will take the Lobito Corridor project forward. It is more than a transport route. It is a bridge connecting East and West Africa, and a symbol of the strength of our partnership.

Your efforts to unite Mozambique are impressive, President Daniel Chapo. The EU stands behind you. I welcome Mozambique’s participation in the Global Gateway Forum. It’s the occasion to show how we’re supporting the transformation and digitalisation of your country’s economy, together.

We can usher in the age of renewable abundance. With clean, affordable energy for all. With secure supply. For this, we must keep up the work. As governments and industry. And as partners across continents. → link.europa.eu/Y6jrFB

For 80 years, the United Nations has served humanity. As we reaffirmed in our meeting with Antonio Guterres, there is no mission more noble. The EU is, and will remain, the UN’s largest collective supporter.

The European Union and AfricanUnion strongly support the UN, the backbone of our rules-based order. We are joining forces for peace, stability, and security in the world. 2025 will be an important year for Europe–Africa relations. Europe’s offer is one of genuine partnership.

🇺🇳 In New York for the UN General Assembly. This week, our mission is clear: to show the power of diplomacy over division. The EU will always stand firmly on the side of multilateralism. Today and tomorrow. #UNGA

The entry into force of the Marine Biodiversity Treaty is a historic milestone. It shows the power of multilateralism, as we head to New York for the UN General Assembly, Now we call on more countries to join the movement & ensure the universal protection of our ocean. www.un.org/sg/en/conten...

Europe stands with Estonia in the face of Russia’s latest violation of our airspace. We will respond to every provocation with determination while investing in a stronger Eastern flank.

Russia is showing the full extent of its contempt for diplomacy and international law. So we're increasing the pressure. With our 19th package of sanctions covering energy, financial services and trade restrictions. → link.europa.eu/WYYwh3

On the day we launched our new EU-India strategy, I had the pleasure of wishing Narendra Modi a very happy birthday. I look forward to visiting India again for our next Summit.

Today we propose to sanction extremist ministers and violent settlers, and suspend trade concessions with Israel. And put bilateral support to Israel on hold, without affecting our work with Israeli civil society or Yad Vashem. link.europa.eu/nx3DrG

Now is the time to double down on partnerships rooted in shared interests and guided by common values. With our new EU–India strategy, we are taking our relationship to the next level. And we are committed to finalising our trade agreement by end of the year. → link.europa.eu/WvvDmV

I had a good call with @POTUS on strengthening our joint efforts to increase economic pressure on Russia through additional measures. The Commission will soon present its 19th package of sanctions, targeting crypto, banks, and energy.

There can be no business as usual. We need to get it all done ↓

We hit the ground running ↓

One year ago, Mario Draghi presented his report on competitiveness. The first act of the new Commission was to translate it into policies and actions. This is the urgency mindset we promised ↓ link.europa.eu/wGV4KX

Russia's incursion into Romanian airspace is once again a blatant violation of EU sovereignty and a serious threat to regional security. We are working closely with Romania and all Member States to protect the EU territory. Suntem solidari cu România.

One year ago, the Draghi Report called on Europe to shift gears in the global race for competitiveness. We heard that call. Loud and clear. And we responded, fast and forcefully. This Tuesday, with Mario Draghi, let’s take stock of how far we’ve come together.

We want the future of cars – and the cars of the future – to be made in Europe. So we are working hand in hand with industry to make this a reality. Today, we held our third Strategic Dialogue with the automotive sector, and our Industrial Action Plan is already delivering results.

The release of political prisoners in Belarus is welcome news. I'm glad our colleague Mikalai Khilo is among those freed. Mikalai safely arrived at our Representation in Vilnius. Thank you President Trump for your support. Our work to free all political prisoners continues.

Our independence depends on our ability to compete in today’s turbulent times. But competitiveness is also about people and livelihoods. So we'll put forward measures on affordability and the cost of living ↓

Europe’s independence is about protecting our freedoms. And free press is the backbone of democracy. We will launch a Media Resilience Programme to support journalism and media literacy. And keep backing independent and local media - because corruption happens in the dark.

Doing business urgently needs to become easier in 🇪🇺. This is why we will present a Single Market Roadmap to 2028. We will apply ‘made in Europe’ criteria to public procurement. And keep investing in our Clean Industrial Deal with a €1.8B Battery Booster.

And we will back Ukraine with our industrial strength, with a new Qualitative Military Edge programme and a Drone Alliance.

Russia should pay for the war it started. To finance Ukraine’s war effort, we support a new solution: a Reparations Loan on the basis of Russian assets – the cash balances associated to these assets.

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 ↓

Europe is in a fight. A fight for our liberty and our ability to determine our destiny for ourselves. This must be Europe’s Independence Moment. A moment we can seize if we're united ↓ www.youtube.com/watch?v=cVnm...

Europe is on the frontline of devastating wildfires and 2025 is already the worst year on record. Summer after summer, we can count on our brave firefighters. Working together to save lives, protect communities and our environment.

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 happen. #SOTEU

One day to go until the State of the Union. Discussions continue with @europarl.europa.eu leaders. With dialogue and determination, we can drive Europe forward. Tune in at 9 am tomorrow for #SOTEU
