🆕 Today, a @Europarl_EN delegation met with members of the @EIB management board. The European Investment Bank as the "EU bank" is a major implementing partner for the EU's external action 🇪🇺, and will continue to play this role under the future 'Global Europe' instrument.

📺 WATCH: my speech today in #Strasbourg as the parliament adopted my report on global health by a large majority of MEPs.

Because of the massive aid cuts by the US 🇺🇸 (and others) less girls are going to school, there are more cases of child marriage, more cholera and more cases of HIV in children.

The situation is urgent.
