In 2020 I proposed an Anti-Coercion Instrument for the EU's collective defence against econ blackmail, based on work with the DE, FR govts. Now @Handelsblatt reports FR, DE are contemplating triggering it for trade+inv countersanctions against US @Trade_EU https://t.co/LkRx3EAIo8

Warm congratulations, dear Friedrich Merz @Bundeskanzler, on your appointment as Federal Chancellor of Germany. Herzlichen Glückwunsch!

I am looking forward to our work together on an ambitious common European agenda.

Exciting visits to the @bsc_cns and @ALBAsynchrotron, two fantastic examples of what the talent of our scientists, the collaboration between administrations, and European support can achieve.

I leave Barcelona with one certainty: We, Europeans can accomplish whatever we set our minds to, if we do it together.

I deeply regret the U.S. decision to impose tariffs on EU automotive exports.

Tariffs are taxes – bad for businesses, worse for consumers, in the US and the EU.

The EU will continue to seek negotiated solutions, while safeguarding its economic interests ↓

I spoke with President of the European Council, António Costa @eucopresident, ahead of tomorrow’s European Council meeting, and thanked for the invitation to participate. We coordinated our positions and discussed key issues on the agenda.

We also talked about Ukraine’s participation in the ReArm Europe initiative, the financing of ammunition procurement, and steps to accelerate our EU integration. I am relying on support in unlocking the negotiation clusters.

Additionally, I informed President Costa about my constructive conversation with President Trump, during which I reaffirmed Ukraine’s readiness to implement the U.S. unconditional proposal for a ceasefire. The Ukrainian people want peace more than anyone, and we are ready to work towards it.

Thank you for your support.

[António Costa @eucopresident]

A comprehensive, just and lasting peace for Ukraine must be the outcome of this terrible war.

We hope that yesterday’s phone call is progress in this direction.

We remain steadfast in our support for Ukraine. (AC & VDL)

Heute wird ein historischer Tag

Prosperity and security are two sides of the same coin.

Investing in our defence also means investing in our industries, in our technology, in jobs for our citizens.

Good to meet @Bundeskanzler Scholz in Berlin today to prepare next week’s #EUCO, which will have competitiveness at its core.

[António Costa @eucopresident]

Germany has a crucial role in the European Union. Important discussion this morning with @_FriedrichMerz on the challenges Europe is facing.

[António Costa @eucopresident]

In London to participate in a summit organized by UK PM @Keir_Starmer on Ukraine.

The EU is working with its partners to support Ukraine and reach a just and lasting peace.

Preparations are ongoing with all EU member states for the Special #EUCO on 6 March. The goals are clear: stepping up European defence and creating the conditions for a lasting peace in Ukraine.

[António Costa @eucopresident]

Continuing to work on close European coordination, today president @EmmanuelMacron debriefed EU leaders on his meeting with @realDonaldTrump earlier this week in Washington.

Very useful to prepare our special European Council on 6 March, where we will take decisions on our support to Ukraine and strengthening European defence.

[António Costa @eucopresident]

To prepare for the Special European Council on 6 March, I am organizing a videoconference of the members of the @EUCouncil, tomorrow morning, to hear a debriefing from President @EmmanuelMacron on his recent visit to Washington DC.

[António Costa @eucopresident]

Peace in Ukraine and Europe’s security are inseparable.

Peace cannot be a simple ceasefire. Russia must no longer be a threat to #Ukraine, to Europe, to international security.

There will be no credible and successful negotiations, no lasting peace, without Ukraine and without the EU.
