Europe is working on a package to support Arctic security. And at the heart of this will be the fundamental principle: it is for sovereign people to decide their own future.

Productive first #ECOFIN of 2026, with positive exchanges on supporting Ukraine and advancing implementation of the Recovery and Resilience Facility. Looking forward to working with @cy2026eu.bsky.social to deliver on our key priorities. Read my remarks ▶️ link.europa.eu/qX9fqq

Arctic security can only be achieved together. This is why the proposed additional tariffs are a mistake, especially between long-standing allies. The EU and US have agreed to a trade deal last July. A deal is a deal. And when friends shake hands, it must mean something.

Geopolitical shocks can - and must - be an opportunity for Europe. The seismic shift underway makes it both possible & necessary to build a new European independence. From security to the economy. From defence to democracy. Europe is gathering speed. → link.europa.eu/6qt6hC

As shadow rapporteur on a Just Transition Directive, I urge my colleagues to vote in favour of the report today. (1)

Today, the flags at the Berlaymont fly at half-mast in mourning for the victims of the tragic train accident in Adamuz, Spain. My thoughts are with the families and loved ones of those who lost their lives, and with all those injured. Europe stands with Spain in this moment of grief and solidarity.

“The democracies of the world should draft a short values statement, echoing the UN charter’s starting point – “We the peoples …” – and this time showing we mean it”.

Gender-based hate online is finding new forms again. The latest development we've seen is a shocking one on X, where Elon Musk's AI Grok produces nude images of women and even children, without their consent of course. This also happens on other channels, with other AI tools. 1/6 👇🧵

Good debate today on #NRPP Joint planning makes sense to support farmers & rural areas: better synergies & investments But let’s be clear #CAP remains distinct with its own role & tools Because 👨‍🌾 do not farm in budgetary cycles Next step: finish MFF negotiations on time for national plans

In Davos, I met with a bipartisan delegation from the United States Congress. We discussed our shared efforts to achieve a just and lasting peace in Ukraine.

Good discussions at today’s #Eurogroup. We focused on policy priorities in 2026 to build a more competitive Europe and also discussed Bulgaria’s ongoing euro changeover. Read my remarks ▶️ link.europa.eu/wRygRt

Denmark and Greenland are not alone. Good to see my colleagues Troels Lund Poulsen and Vivian Motzfeldt. Arctic security is a shared transatlantic interest, and one we can discuss with our US allies. But tariff threats are not the way to go about this. Sovereignty is not for trade. (1/2)

The Iranian opposition has now secured a vote in the European Parliament plenary, through its chairwoman Roberta Metsola. The EU will add the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to the list of terrorist organisations and broaden sanctions against Iranian officials responsible for the massacres. However, it is a tragedy that it is too late for 16,500 dead and 330,000 wounded.

Just spoke with Pedro Sánchez to convey my deepest condolences to the victims’ families and loved ones. Europe stands with Spain in this tragic moment, sharing your grief. @ec.europa.eu flags will fly at half-mast.
