🇪🇺🇨🇦 Ce 9 mai, Journée de l’Europe, j’ai été ravie d’inaugurer à Montréal le « Pôle UE au Québec » : un nouvel espace pour solidifier les liens entre 🇪🇺 et la Province dans les domaines scientifique, économique et culturel.
Merci à nos partenaires.

[Mark Carney @MarkJCarney]

Le Canada et l’Europe sont unis par leurs valeurs communes que sont le pluralisme, la primauté du droit et la démocratie. À l’occasion de la Journée de l’Europe, nous nous appuyons sur ces fondements pour forger de nouveaux partenariats stratégiques, accroître nos échanges commerciaux et soutenir fermement l’Ukraine.

Dans un monde plus incertain, le Canada et l’Europe apportent davantage de certitude, de sécurité et de prospérité des deux côtés de l’Atlantique.

[Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen]

Over the next two days, Poland and Lithuania will be the first countries to sign SAFE loan agreements.

These two plans alone are over €50 billion, to close critical capability gaps and keep our Eastern flank safe.

With SAFE, we are strengthening our defence industry all across Europe.

Delivering the capabilities we need.

Faster, together and at scale.

[Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen]

I had a very good call with @POTUS.

We discussed the situation in the Middle East and our close coordination with regional partners.

We are united that Iran must never posses a nuclear weapon. Recent events have clearly shown that the risks to regional stability and global security are too great.

We also discussed the EU–U.S. trade deal. We remain fully committed, on both sides, to its implementation. Good progress is being made towards tariff reduction by early July.
