Germany's manufacturing excellence and American innovation have powered transatlantic prosperity for generations. Shared expertise, open markets, and reciprocal trade are exactly what both our economies need — and the blueprint for a stronger U.S.-EU relationship. Member states

The transatlantic trade relationship has to work for both sides. At the start of President Trump's second term, that balance needed recalibration. The automotive sector is a perfect example: we need clear, predictable rules that reward innovation, encourage investment, and keep

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

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,

Proud to support @DoreenBogdan's reelection as ITU Secretary-General. She's delivered results and earned another term. Under her leadership, the ITU has advanced secure connectivity and pushed digital transformation forward — reaching communities that have long been left behind.

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.

Great discussion with Suzanne P. Clark, CEO of @USChamber, on what we all hope is the upcoming approval of the U.S.-EU trade deal and the need for the EU to meaningfully deregulate if it is going to grow its economy and partner on the burgeoning AI economy. Capitalism and

America's tech leadership is built on innovation, not regulation. I had a productive meeting with @Google's @mcerickson to discuss challenges in the EU regulatory environment, including the EU’s new "digital sovereignty" requirements which only add to the EU’s challenges. Open

The United States and Europe share deep commercial ties, industrial cooperation, and capacity for innovation – the foundation for the largest trade relationship in the world. Great discussions with @BusinessEurope on the importance of fulfilling the trade commitments in the

At @epc_eu’s Forum, we discussed what is “truly critical” for Europe’s future. The answer: a Europe unshackled by overregulation, powered by energy abundance, and partnered with the U.S. in the global AI race. Innovation, competitiveness, and growth—not bureaucracy—will determine

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.

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
