The transatlantic relationship is built by people who show up, do the work, and keep our bond strong. To Senator Coons, Governor Cox, Jillian, and @ddbprods: Thank you for embracing and embodying this ideal. I have never been more hopeful about our ties.

A bridge does not stand simply because it was built once. It stands because each generation chooses to maintain it, strengthen it, and carry others across. My deep gratitude to all who attended the Transatlantic Bridge Awards at the Residence last night, especially our awardees.

Excellent meeting of all EU Ambassadors with @WorldBank President @ajaybanga, we addressed the need to collaborate on global challenges, from energy to supporting Ukraine and Gaza’s recovery, we find new ways of collaboration despite the headwinds.

What do you get when 25 female ambassadors walk into a room? A lot of warmth, support, and a historic photo to remember this unique time in Washington. Thank you, @diplomatnews!

.@RecordingAcad and @TheTonyAwards-winning vocalist @ddbprods has long served as a cultural ambassador of the transatlantic relationship, using music to connect audiences and celebrate shared values on both sides of the Atlantic. I look forward to the celebrations tonight!

Jillian Manus of SHIELD Capital is a leading voice in strengthening transatlantic ties in tech and venture capital, connecting startups to global capital markets, expertise, and strategic networks. She is also recognized for her efforts to repatriate abducted Ukrainian children.

I'm excited to continue the #EuropeDay celebrations tonight with our annual Transatlantic Bridge Awards. This is our chance to say thank you to the Americans who have supported the EU-US relationship and the values we share. Here is who we are honoring tonight...👇

Digital spaces provide immense benefits for learning and more. But the risks for our children are real. We must build a digital world in which they can grow up free and secure. Protected by the values Europe stands for ↓ twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Tens of thousands of Ukrainian children taken by Russia remain separated from their country and loved ones. We will not rest until every single one of them is reunited with their families. With €50 million, we're putting concrete support behind our commitment. Strengthening protection systems, providing education and ensuring justice for the stolen children. The return of each child must be part of any peace agreement.

Celebrating the beauty and diversity of Europe with our American friends is always a real treat. Here is a little summary of my day at #EUOpenHouse, visiting several of the participating embassies. If you joined us, I would love to know your favorite part! 🇪🇺 #EuropeDay

And the celebration is reaching coast to coast. I hope you will follow @euintheus over the following days to see what EU Member States in cities around the US are doing to mark this important day. #EuropeDayUSA

Happy #EuropeDay! For 76 years, we mark this day as the official birth of the European Union. Today, the EU is a global powerhouse of 27 countries, 450 million people, 24 languages, €18 trillion GDP. I am proud to represent the EU on this day and during America's 250th year.

#VEDay: Today we remember a pivotal moment in the history of the transatlantic relationship: Europe & America working together to end World War II and bring peace to the continent. I am forever grateful to those who fought and died. (Right: With WWII veteran Dr. Arlester Brown)

I had a very good call with @POTUS. We discussed the situation in the Middle East and our close coordination with regional partners. We are united that Iran must never posses a nuclear weapon. Recent events have clearly shown that the risks to regional stability and global security are too great. We also discussed the EU–U.S. trade deal. We remain fully committed, on both sides, to its implementation. Good progress is being made towards tariff reduction by early July.

And with the new EU-Mercosur agreement, our network of free trade agreements now covers 97% of LAC region GDP (compared to 44% for the US). Clearly, we're not going anywhere.

We’re investing in deeper partnerships in the Americas, built on rules-based trade, sustainable investment, and mutual respect. The EU is the CELAC region's leading investor, with foreign direct investment exceeding $952 billion. We are also its third-largest trade partner.

With @A1Policy and @TPPF at their inaugural North America Summit this morning. Europe's influence on the Americas runs deep. We share history, culture, migration, plus strong economic, social, and security bonds. But the world is changing. 🧵👇

Thank you @gwenfox5dc @fox5dc for letting us share more about our annual #EUOpenHouse. Happening for almost two decades now, this celebration of Europe has become a staple in the Washington spring calendar. 🇪🇺🌸 See you THIS SATURDAY! 👉 euopenhouse.org
