📍Touchdown in Baku 🇦🇿
The EU believes in a bright future for the South Caucasus: connected, peaceful and prosperous.
We want to help build that future.
I'm also here to deepen the EU-Azerbaijan partnership.
From trade to transport. From energy to the economy.
Dans un avenir proche, l'Islande fera peut-être partie de l'UE.
De retour de déplacement à Reykjavik, je reviens pour @ParisMatch sur les enjeux d'une telle adhésion.
Face à Poutine, Xi Jinping et Trump, l'Union européenne est le refuge des nations, des libertés et de la démocratie.

🇪🇺🇺🇸 EUROPE IS NOT SURRENDERING TO US TECH BLACKMAIL
The European Commission has confirmed that Europe’s digital taxes will continue despite Trump’s threats of new sanctions and 100% tariffs.
This is the correct position, but Europe must learn the lesson: the US protects its giants aggressively, both at home and abroad.
Washington funds around 41% of US basic research.
The US invests around 3.4% of GDP in R&D. The EU invests only 2.24%.
The idea that corporate dominance comes only from the free market is a myth.
Europe must defend its companies inside Europe and abroad, expand public R&D, and support its strategic sectors at the same scale as its competitors.

Dependence on imported fossil fuels leaves our economies exposed.
And citizens are paying the price.
Electrification turns dependence into resilience.
We will soon table our proposal to boost electrification across Europe.
And today's Leaders' Statement sets the course towards COP31.
The global movement has begun. Europe can lead it.

We are deepening our EU-Kazakhstan strategic partnership.
At today’s meeting with President @TokayevKZ, we reaffirmed our ambition to strengthen our ties under the Enhanced Partnership and Cooperation Agreement, focusing on critical raw materials, energy, transport, digitalisation and emerging technologies.
We also welcomed progress on the Trans-Caspian Transport Corridor and visa facilitation, and in particular the signing of the Horizontal Aviation Agreement.
Together, we reaffirmed our shared commitment to peace, security and stability, and to the principles of the UN Charter.

Damn! The way Giorgia Meloni pointed her finger at Trump and stood her ground.
That’s confidence. That’s presence. That’s why she inspires millions of women around the world.
Un influenceur britannique (Ed Mathews) se fait refuser l’entrée d’une boîte de nuit à Londres parce qu’il porte son maillot de l’équipe d’Angleterre.
Le videur lui demande de le retourner à l’envers pour cacher le badge des Three Lions : « Ça pourrait offenser les migrants » 😡
Un Anglais obligé de cacher le symbole de son pays dans sa propre capitale… C’est devenu complètement fou.

We had a good discussion on global imbalances.
There was clear support for staying the course.
Diversifying and de-risking our relationships, not decoupling.
We have built a strong toolbox to protect our market from unfair practices.
Now we must use it more strategically.
And the @EU_Commission will work on new tools such as a diversification instrument.
🇺🇸🔥🇮🇹🇪🇺 Major political clash between Italy and the United States.
In a call to an Italian TV programme, @realDonaldTrump has claimed that @GiorgiaMeloni "begged" him to take a picture with her during the recent G7 summit.
Meloni has just delivered one of the sharpest public rebukes in recent US-Italy relations:
"President Trump's words are pure fantasy [...].
We do not understand why the President of the United States behaves like this, especially towards allies. We would like to see him behave as firmly with the enemies of the West [...].
Myself and Italy do not beg anybody."
Whatever one's political preferences, the President of the United States has no business publicly mocking or insulting the democratically elected leader of a close European ally.
President Trump's childish and needlessly confrontational behaviour is unworthy of the office he holds and of the great nation he represents.

L'avvio della Conferenza dei Servizi rappresenta un passaggio fondamentale per il futuro Stadio della Roma a Pietralata e per il percorso che porterà la città a dotarsi di una nuova infrastruttura sportiva moderna e sostenibile e pienamente integrata con il territorio. È il frutto del serio lavoro svolto dall'Amministrazione in questi anni con un doppio passaggio in Assemblea Capitolina che ha consentito di definire e consolidare l'interesse pubblico dell'opera. Continueremo a lavorare insieme a tutte le istituzioni coinvolte per garantire tempi certi, massima trasparenza e rigorose valutazioni con l'obiettivo di cogliere le opportunità legate agli Europei del 2032 e di realizzare un'opera strategica per tutta la Capitale.
