Thanks to @SenSanders — a champion of strong transatlantic relations. We had a great first discussion on EU-US joint work on peace and democracy, from Ukraine to the Middle East.

Thanks @NikkiHaley for joining our Ambassadors meeting. We're grateful for your support of Ukraine & the EU-US cooperation it requires. The EU is doing its part: boosting assistance to Ukraine & European defense + deepening trade ties. There is much we can accomplish together.

Sometimes even @nytimes gets things wrong. Honey cake (medovyk) is Ukrainian, not Russian! And it is very, very delicious at the Ukrainian restaurant Ruta in DC 🍰

Dear @kmathernova and colleagues: Sending my best wishes to you and the Ukrainian people after such a horrific attack. Putin knows no limits, yet @EUDelegationUA continues to do this important work for the future of a free Ukraine. Thank you. #StrongerTogether

Russia’s “peace” last night: a massive strike on Kyiv with drones and ballistic missiles.
At least 10 killed, 30 injured, many buildings destroyed.
The EU Delegation was severely damaged by the shock wave.
This is Moscow’s true answer to peace efforts.

At Dulles, Iberia flight crew over intercom explaining delay to Madrid-DC passengers waiting to deplane:
“They have a very abnormal system to take passengers to the terminal.”

Trade is never not on my agenda. Today I met with @DistilledSpirit BOD to discuss the status of trade negotiations. I also welcomed @DIHK_News CEO Helena Melnikov and the German chambers of commerce to Washington. I appreciated both moments to showcase transatlantic cooperation.

Great to meet Bertram Kawlath @VDMAonline. VDMA represents 3,600+ machinery & engineering companies worldwide. With VDMA North America, European engineering excellence drives growth & creates job across 🇺🇸. Once again I heard loud & clear: US tariffs threaten this success story.
Eike Klapper 🇺🇦🇪🇺 retweeted
Unjustified tariffs inevitably backfire.
We'll act in a calm, carefully phased, unified way, as we calibrate our response, while allowing adequate time for talks. But we won't stand idly by, should we be unable to reach a fair deal.
I'll speak to my U.S. counterparts tomorrow.
