🇺🇸 🤝 🇸🇪 Today, the Kingdom of Sweden becomes the first member of the European Union to sign the Pax Silica Declaration. What is unfolding in the Strait of Hormuz right now is a lesson. Iran is deliberately weaponizing a single point of failure in the global economy to hold the world hostage through a narrow corridor of water. This lesson is not only about oil. It is about dependency. It is about what happens when the physical infrastructure of global civilization — the chokepoints, the corridors, the cables, the ports — becomes the battlefield. Sweden is not merely a diplomatic partner. Sweden is a 5G power. Ericsson — born in Stockholm, built over 150 years of relentless engineering — is one of the only companies on Earth capable of building trusted, sovereign-grade 5G infrastructure at scale. We are building the logistics architecture, the mineral supply chains, the refining capacity, the manufacturing redundancy, and the investment vehicles so that no adversary — ever — can weaponize a chokepoint and threaten our economies. state.gov/on-the-occasio…

Reconocemos a @micittcr y a las autoridades costarricenses por su rápida respuesta al reciente incidente cibernético que afectó al Instituto Costarricense de Electricidad (ICE). A través de cooperación en ciberseguridad, intercambio de información, asistencia técnica y capacitación, Estados Unidos apoya los esfuerzos de Costa Rica para proteger la infraestructura esencial frente a actividades cibernéticas maliciosas.


🇩🇪 Was wir für eine starke Zukunft brauchen In den vergangenen Tagen hatte ich zusammen mit unserem Ministerpräsidentenkandidaten @Frohnmaier_AfD in Washington, D.C. intensive Gespräche – unter anderem mit Jacob Helberg, Under Secretary of State for Economic Affairs. Dabei wurde deutlich: Die Herausforderungen für unseren Industriestandort sind groß, aber die Chancen für neue Partnerschaften und Innovation ebenso. Was Deutschland und Baden-Württemberg jetzt brauchen: 1️⃣ Bezahlbare Energie: Der Ausstieg aus Kern- und Kohlekraft sowie eine ideologisch geprägte Energiepolitik treiben die Energiepreise in die Höhe, zerstören unsere industrielle Basis und vernichten Arbeitsplätze. Das stoppen wir: Wir werden Kernkraftwerke wieder ans Netz bringen und Energieversorgung wieder sicher, planbar und bezahlbar machen. 2️⃣ Starke transatlantische Partnerschaft: Deutsche Ingenieurskunst und amerikanische KI-Führerschaft können gemeinsam neue industrielle Dynamik schaffen. 3️⃣ Innovationsfreundliche Politik: Baden-Württemberg muss offen sein für neue Technologien, mutige Ideen und internationale Kooperation. 4️⃣ Eine handlungsfähige Regierung: Zehn Jahre Stillstand und wirtschaftlicher Rückschritt unter Grün-Schwarz sind genug. 👉 Baden-Württemberg verdient ein Comeback. 🚀
