Many thanks to Jens Stoltenberg for his outstanding leadership as Mark Rutte over the past 10 years. The work is far from over, as the war in Ukraine is still ongoing. Mark Rutte takes on this crucial role at a pivotal time, and I wish him strength and success in leading NATO.

With Moldova’s presidential elections and EU referendum ahead, Russian disinformation and efforts to disrupt democratic processes will increase in the coming weeks. As #Moldova navigates this crucial period, #EU must be more ambitious in assistance.

The #EU Council Presidency carries great responsibility in upholding EU values. Orban has failed in this role. The Hungary’s presidency must prove that EU values are non-negotiable. EU must send a clear message: we stand firmly with Ukraine and reject leaders who side with Putin.

🇺🇸 Congratulations to Donald Trump! The American people have spoken, and it’s vital for EU and Estonia to strengthen our partnership with the #US for shared security, freedom, and economic growth. A strong transatlantic alliance remains the cornerstone of stability and prosperity

🇱🇹Evening hearings continue at the European Parliament. Lithuanian commissioner-designate Andrius Kubilius just took the floor for Defence and Space. As former prime ministers, it was great to meet again – wishing him success! 🇪🇺👍

Ukrainians are the first to seek an end to this dreadful war. However, nothing should be discussed about Ukraine without Ukraine. And nothing should be decided without us Europeans. #StandWithUkraine

1/ Just now European Parliament voted on a resolution on the further deterioration of the political situation in Georgia. We strongly condemn the recent developments, including police brutality, detentions, torture, political violence, and new draconian legislation [cont]

Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity are non-negotiable. I co-signed a letter to the Council and European Commission stating that any talks about peace must be led by Ukraine and fully supported by the EU.

President Trump’s new tariffs hit European goods with a 20% tax and cars with 25%. This isn’t fair trade - it’s economic blackmail. Hurting allies won’t make America stronger. Europe won’t be intimidated. We stand ready to protect our economy and uphold open and fair trade.

True American rollercoaster. President Trump has paused the new global tariffs for 90 days for around 60 trade partners - except China. Tariffs on China will keep rising, hitting 125% due to Beijing’s ongoing actions. politico.com/news/2025/04/0…

80 years ago, WWII ended - but not for all of Europe. For many in the East, it marked the start of Soviet occupation and totalitarian oppression. Today, the legacy of uncondemned Soviet crimes fuels Russia’s imperial ambitions. Statement by European Parliament Members on the occasion

🇺🇸Donald Trump’s sharp tariff remarks are sowing uncertainty in global trade. The 🇪🇺EU must not stay passive – we need to strengthen the Single Market, expand global trade ties and lead WTO reform. EPP Group
