U.S. Mission to the EU

This is the official account of the U.S. Mission to the EU.

🇺🇸🇪🇺 The United States welcomes the EU joining a growing global consensus that innovation is key to building more resilient, productive, and sustainable food systems. The @Europarl_EN passage of the New Genomic Techniques (#NGT) regulation is a landmark step toward science-based agricultural innovation in Europe.

Greater regulatory alignment between the U.S. and EU means more cooperation, more transatlantic trade, less red tape, and stronger agriculture on both sides of the Atlantic. For 🇺🇸🇪🇺 consumers and households, that translates to more affordable, diverse, and sustainably produced food on their plates.

Let's get to work.

[Ambassador Andrew Puzder @USAmbEU]

🇺🇸🇪🇺 Thank you for your strong leadership, @EP_President Roberta Metsola.

I agree — this is more than a trade deal. It is a truly consequential moment in the history of the world's largest trade and investment relationship.

The U.S.-EU Framework Agreement sets out a concrete path to more balanced trade and lays the foundation for other areas of cooperation. Let's keep this positive momentum going!

[Ambassador Andrew Puzder @USAmbEU]

Our incredible and resilient transatlantic relationship is the largest trade and investment partnership in the history of the world. But prosperity doesn’t happen by accident. It requires action, collaboration, and pragmatic solutions that work for us together. Today, @Europarl_EN has approved EU tariff commitments under the Turnberry deal — an important step in the journey toward rebalancing the 🇺🇸🇪🇺 trade relationship.

Both @POTUS and President @vonderleyen worked closely to make this happen. And equal credit goes to every European and American who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to see it through.

Thank you @berndlange, @ZovkoEU, @PolatoDaniele, @brandobenifei, @EP_Trade, and @Europarl_EN — this will help workers, businesses, and consumers on both sides of the Atlantic.

🇺🇸 5 Tips for Travelers Planning a Trip to the United States ✈️

Don't wait — apply for your ESTA now! 🕐 Start your ESTA application as soon as you begin planning your trip — before you even buy your airline tickets.

Use the official website. 🔒 Make sure you're on the real ESTA site.

Got a new passport? You'll need a new ESTA. 📘 Any changes to your passport, name, or country of citizenship mean you must submit a new travel authorization.

Be honest on your application. ✅ Providing false or incomplete information on your ESTA application could make you ineligible to travel to the United States. It's not worth it!

Staying longer than 90 days? Apply for a visa instead. 📅 If you plan to stay beyond 90 days, apply for a U.S. visa before you travel.

“The Deal with Islamic Republic of Iran is now complete. Congratulations to all!” President Donald J. Trump 🇺🇸

[Ambassador Andrew Puzder @USAmbEU]

You can't run an industrial economy on renewables alone. Europe needs reliable baseload power now, and for most of the continent, that means LNG. Nuclear is the right long-term answer, but building sufficient capacity takes 15 to 20 years. This is a today problem. The solution is straightforward: embrace energy abundance, cut red tape, and get back on a growth path. Thanks @trish_regan for the great discussion!

[Ambassador Andrew Puzder @USAmbEU]

Always a pleasure sitting down with my friend @trish_regan to talk transatlantic matters. The EU's regulatory maze is a problem — not just for American companies, but for European ones, too. These rules were designed to set global standards. Instead, they've stifled job creation, discouraged investment, and undermined economic growth. Europe has world-class talent and innovative entrepreneurs, but policies must let them flourish.

[State Department Economic Affairs @EconAtState]

Illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing isn't just a fisheries problem — it's a threat to security, economic stability, and fair markets. At @CSISOceans’ Ocean Security and Human Rights Forum, OES DAS Ruth Perry outlined @StateDept's bold new approach to IUU fishing that drives action and finally holds bad actors accountable.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio spoke with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen to discuss U.S. and European coordination and response efforts to the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda. The Department’s highest priority and focus remain protecting the health of the American people and preventing this Ebola outbreak from reaching our shores.

Congratulations, Elenya! U.S. Embassy Malta joins @US2EU in celebrating this well-deserved recognition. As we mark #Freedom250, we're proud to champion U.S.-Malta ties and the next generation of innovators and entrepreneurs.

[United States Trade Representative @USTradeRep]

American companies shouldn't be held back by burdensome European Union regulations.

In the Turnberry Agreement, the EU committed to addressing non-tariff barriers, including the deforestation rule and laws about LNG. The United States expects those commitments to be met.

[Ambassador Andrew Puzder @USAmbEU]

No other President could have secured a trade deal like this—it's incredible. This is also a testament to the Europeans, who worked very hard to navigate it through their process. @POTUS and President @vonderleyen worked closely to make this happen. This will be a real accomplishment and a hallmark of President Trump's administration.

[Ambassador Andrew Puzder @USAmbEU]

We are working on a number of arrangements with the EU: a trade deal, an MoU on critical minerals that we've signed, and Pax Silica, which will bring the EU into the AI economy. Under President Trump's administration, what he's accomplished with Europe—5% defense spending, the trade deal, critical minerals, AI—is significant. People talk about contracting the US-EU relationship, but we are expanding it.

[U.S. Ambassador to NATO @USAmbNATO]

At last year’s NATO Summit, all Allies signed onto the historic Hague Defense Commitment. At next month’s NATO Summit in Ankara, we’ll see how much progress they have made in converting that commitment into real defensive capabilities.

[Željana Zovko @ZovkoEU]

Today, the Committee on International Trade adopted the provisional agreement on the Framework Agreement on Trade with the United States — an important step towards final adoption on 16 June.

As @EPPGroup rapporteur, I welcome this result and thank all colleagues for the constructive cooperation. Today, we showed responsibility and delivered another positive signal in support of stronger EU–US trade relations.

Strong partnerships create strong businesses. 🇪🇺🇺🇸

[Ambassador Andrew Puzder @USAmbEU]

Appreciate today’s positive @EP_Trade INTA Committee vote.

Let’s keep moving forward on EU commitments under the Turnberry deal.

Next stop, plenary @Europarl_EN.

[U.S. Mission to the EU @US2EU]

The EU needs to uphold its commitment on the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) as agreed to in the Framework Agreement.
