Today, I had the pleasure of participating in a meaningful Consultation on Women & Security hosted by WIIS Brussels , with inspiring women leaders from Benin 🇧🇯 and Togo 🇹🇬.
Security is a universal discourse and women are at its core.

NATO’s 5% pledge is not just about budgets, it’s a shift in strategy.
It redefines Transatlantic deterrence, industrial readiness, and Europe’s defence posture.

NATO doesn’t thrive by default, it takes vision and shared resolve.
Today’s momentum reflects renewed American leadership and real alignment across the Alliance.
The task ahead: translate strength into long-term strategic coherence.

80 years ago, #Auschwitz was liberated.
We honor the millions of victims of the Nazi regime, and its collaborators.
To remember, to pass on, and to give meaning to the past has become a vital necessity in a world where some points of reference are fading.
