The transatlantic bond remains crucial for responding to today's geostrategic challenges & climate change. ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ

At 4th EU-U.S. Trade & Tech Council, we agreed to deepen joint work on economic security, including export controls & approaches to non-market economies. #TTC

EU & U.S. are committed to leading the clean tech revolution.

The best way to do this is by creating a real ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ-๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ marketplace for green goods & services.

As 1st step, we aim to quickly land a Critical Minerals Agreement & share info on clean energy subsidies. #TTC

At #TTC 4, both sides called for more measures to ease transatlantic trade.

We agreed on such measures for sectors related to machinery standards & veterinary medicines.

We aim to improve use of digital tools to cut red tape for business.

But we can โ€“ and will โ€“ do more.

With continued political will from both sides, #TTC can deliver great results for our people, economies & climate.๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ

Tusen tack to our Swedish hosts @sweden2023eu for the warm welcome in the far north of ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ช.

And my thanks to hard-working teams at @Trade_EU & @DigitalEU.

Today in Washington D.C., I spoke at @AEI on why we need EU & U.S. leadership more than ever.

Authoritarian regimes/non-market actors continue to undermine global economy & security.

In such a world, ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ & ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธshould move closer - not further apart - wherever possible.

EU-U.S. cooperation on #Ukraine has been extraordinary.

We must ramp up our work to support ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆto victory - and replicate this unity of purpose in other areas.

Both sides of the Atlantic & the global community can benefit from us doing so.

We already have a perfect platform to develop key ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ-๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ policy responses:

The Trade & Technology Council.

@POTUS & @vonderleyen have called for a modern transatlantic trade agenda.

We therefore need to see clear trade deliverables at next monthโ€™s #TTC meeting in Sweden.

1/7) Today at @collegeofeurope, I met the next generation of EU leaders & public servants.

In these dark & troubling times, it is frightening to be a young European.

But there is hope: the EU is one of the greatest forces for peace & prosperity the world has ever seen. ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ

2. Europe stands at a turning point:

Geopolitical shifts are accelerating.

A clash of values is taking place in our region & globally.

On one side: those who believe in democracy, the right to self-determination & rule of law.

On the other: those who believe in brute force.
3. In this world, we have to stand up for our values, not just talk about them.

We have to think hard about our place in the world - alliances, dependencies, defence.

BUT it is precisely in such difficult times that the EU finds its voice, unity + new ways to get results!
