The transatlantic bond remains crucial for responding to today's geostrategic challenges & climate change. 🇪🇺🇺🇸

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

1/4 ImageImage EU & U.S. are committed to leading the clean tech revolution.

The best way to do this is by creating a real 🇪🇺-🇺🇸 marketplace for green goods & services.

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

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, 🇪🇺 & 🇺🇸should move closer - not further apart - wherever possible.

🧵1/5 EU-U.S. cooperation on #Ukraine has been extraordinary.

We must ramp up our work to support 🇺🇦to victory - and replicate this unity of purpose in other areas.

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

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. 🇪🇺

👇🧵 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.
