The US decision to impose tariffs on EU automotive exports is a serious mistake. Tariffs are harmful on both sides of the Atlantic.
The car industry is the backbone of our 🇪🇺 economy. We remain committed to negotiations while doing everything it takes to protect our interests.
My first stop in Paris had to be meeting Notre-Dame.
We all remember that day, what we felt, when we heard it was burning. Grateful to the craftsmen who made its rebirth possible.
ReArm Europe is a good start, but more is needed:
✅ A true EU defence market
✅ A true European Defence Union
✅ Joint European projects, including a cyber brigade, a missile defence shield, a joint satellite, and drone programs.

The EPP's goal is clear: In 5 years, Europe must be able to defend itself.
We must lead, act fast, and produce defence equipment for our own needs—while being open to transatlantic defence industrial cooperation on an equal footing.

Thank you, José Maria Aznar, for our warm and forward-looking conversation. Europe needs unity, strength, and a Spain that plays a leading role. @ppopular is the right answer for Spain's future.
Good discussion during our EPP study visit in Podgorica on the importance of continuing on the path of EU integration for all Western Balkan countries. The EPP remains a key driver of EU enlargement, based on merit and our European way of life.
100 days of action, of important decisions, of delivering on the promises made to our citizens.
The EPP is proud of the 100 days of our EPP-led Commission under @vonderleyen and its 14 EPP Commissioners. Our key EPP priorities have been brought into reality.
The work continues!
We save money on defence together. The EU has 17 tank models; the US has one. We need standardisation, joint procurement & a European defence market.
Joint projects increase the quality of European defence:
🔹️Missile & drone defence
🔹️Cyber brigade
🔹️Satellite surveillance
I truly congratulate @vonderleyen and @eucopresident for last Thursday's strong message, the will to invest into our defence and our strength.
But this can only be a starting point - the main task of our generation is to create a true European Defence Union - the EPP is ready!
It’s not about Sunday speeches— the EPP delivers on gender balance. Proud to have strong women leaders @vonderleyen @RobertaMetsola shaping our future.
On #InternationalWomensDay & every day, we celebrate progress & recognise the work ahead to break barriers & achieve equality.
Danke @_FriedrichMerz für den sehr guten Austausch und die Partnerschaft für ein starkes und sicheres Europa. Neben mehr Verteidigungsfähigkeit brauchen wir eine neue Qualität an Verantwortung, Zusammenarbeit und Ambition.
Welcome to the @EPP Summit, 🇷🇴President Ilie @Bolojan! Our common PNL and EPP bond is strong, built on shared values.
Romania is respected, Romania is a valued EU member, Romania is a nation of democracy and rule of law.
