Today I am in Cyprus to discuss returns and the security of the Schengen area with ministers. Return rates across the EU went up in 2025 but we need to do much more and advance swiftly on the return regulation. This contributes to the security of the Schengen area.

⌛ We have no other choice, Europe must adapt. We must build bridges with those who bet on what unites us and leave behind what has separated us so far. The next EU‑India summit is an opportunity to close the loose ends of the trade agreement. We cannot waste any more time!

De-escalation in the Greenland issue is a positive news. ⚠️ NATO must focus on the real threat – Russia and its aggression in Ukraine. At the World Economic Forum I also emphasized that new tariffs would be a very bad scenario for the world economy. ➡️ More on the current topic @ltvzinas.lsm.lv: replay.lsm.lv/lv/skates/i...

Staying close to science matters more than ever. Excellent discussion with Johan Rockström in Davos on the latest scientific data, COPs and climate action. @pik-potsdam.bsky.social

Yes, we can. And will keep on doing. It’s a great share of our freedom/security/prosperity pass. 🇪🇺

In #Davos happy to share my insights on the future of the European Space Economy. Europe has world-class space assets & capabilities on par with other space powers. The broader economy has some 8% dependence on space services. Europe has all credentials to lead the space race.

Valuable meeting at the World Economic Forum with 🇱🇻 President @edgarsrinkevics.bsky.social We discussed geopolitical current affairs, including support for 🇺🇦, the 🇪🇺 multi‑year budget proposal, and future work, defending Latvia’s and the EU’s interests internationally. 📸 @valstsprezidents.bsky.social

Europe is ready to deliver on a powerful new agenda with India. Today, the EU agreed to move forward with the signature of a new Security and Defence Partnership. I look forward to signing it next week during the EU-India Summit in New Delhi. My intervention in #EPlenary ↓

With 334 votes in favour, the European Parliament adopted a resolution that our parliamentary group @The Left proposed to request an opinion from the European Court of Justice regarding the legality of the EU-Mercosur trade agreement. (1)

A talk about Ukraine in #Davos - 🇺🇦is defending freedom, European values & international law & order. 🇺🇦 is a cradle of defence innovations. Billions € from 🇪🇺 #SAFE #EDIP Ukraine loans instruments will start reaching Ukraine soon. We will work with Ukraine at full speed. @ec.europa.eu

Enough is enough. Europe has become far too dependent on American tech companies. Companies that earn billions here, but pay barely any taxes. Not only unfair, but also dangerous. Europe must now get to work to ensure that we become much more autonomous.

While the planet burns, Trump calls climate protection a “scam.” It is precisely the elites from whom he comes who benefit the most from the climate crisis. At the same time, people worldwide are paying the price with heat, hunger, and flooding for exactly this policy.

Donald #Trump is currently celebrating his alleged successes in #Davos. One could feast. The balance after one year of his second term: 🧵

Very good to speak with 🇨🇭 Minister of Finance Karin Keller Sutter. We discussed taxation, Pillar One and Two, geopolitics, and in particular the support for Ukraine.
