Dear Premier Li, Europe believes in the power of free trade to drive prosperity.

But it has to be fair.

So we need to address market access, overcapacity and export control.

Rebalancing is also in the interest of stronger 🇪🇺🇨🇳 relations.

Today we present the EU budget for 2028-2034.

It's a budget for a new era, that matches Europe’s ambition.

That addresses Europe’s challenges.

That strengthens our independence.⁩

Warum hat die 🇪🇺EU ein eigenes Budget?

Damit finanziert sie das, was am wichtigsten ist und wo wir gemeinsam mehr erreichen können:

🚊 Infrastruktur
🌱 Maßnahmen zum Klimaschutz
🔬 Forschung
🚨 Krisenreaktion
📚 hochwertige Bildung
🍓 gesunde Ernährung

Ein Budget, das 450 Mio Europäer*innen zugutekommt

I warmly welcome the agreement signed between President Zelenskyy and the Council of Europe to establish the Special Tribunal for the crime of aggression.

The agressors will need to face the judges.

And justice will prevail.

I call on the Hungarian authorities to allow the Budapest Pride to go ahead.

Without fear of any criminal or administrative sanctions against the organisers or participants.

To the LGBTIQ+ community in Hungary and beyond:

I will always be your ally.

Today, we disbursed a new €1 billion to Ukraine.

Bringing our total support to almost 150 billion since Russia's full-scale invasion.

We are with Ukraine for the long haul.

Just spoke with Prime Minister Netanyahu

We are following developments in the Middle East with deep concern.

I reiterated our commitment to peace, stability, and diplomatic efforts leading to de-escalation.

Insightful exchange with 🇦🇹 Finance Minister @markusmarterbauer.bsky.social

We discussed VAT and fraud, Pillar 1 & 2, competitiveness and climate action.

Split-image with the text “TO BEE or NOT TO BEE.” The left side shows a vibrant wildflower meadow with a bee on a daisy, symbolising biodiversity and a healthy ecosystem. The right side shows a dry, barren landscape with dead trees and no visible wildlife, representing environmental degradation. An EU flag appears in the bottom right corner.

Today, over 20,000 bee species are buzzing for #WorldBeeDay 🐝

Bees & other pollinators keep 80% of crop and wild flowering plants alive.

Yet, 1 in 10 bee, hoverfly, and butterfly species are now at risk of extinction in the EU.

🇷🇴🇪🇺 Felicitări, România! Calea ta este europeană. Felicitări, Nicușor Dan!

@eucopresident.consilium.europa.eu and I stand firmly with you, President Zelenskyy.

Our immediate priority is a full and unconditional ceasefire.

That’s why we’re further ramping up pressure to bring Putin to the negotiating table ↓

Insightful meetings in Austria 🇦🇹🇪🇺 during our Tour d’Europe. From discussions with the Mayor of Vienna and members of Parliament to a constructive exchange with Federal Minister of Finance Markus Marterbauer — strong engagement and practical thinking on the future #EUbudget were on full display.

A graphic promoting the EU's Digital Markets Act (DMA), showing a tic-tac-toe board over a purple binary background with digital icons in each square. Three squares are marked with blue checkmarks (indicating compliance) showing icons of a hand selecting, a chat bubble, and a shield. The other squares show red X marks (indicating non-compliance) with icons of euro coins, a warning on a laptop, facial recognition, and more. The EU flag and text “In Europe, we play by European rules” and “Digital Markets Act #DMA” are included.

In Europe, big tech doesn't set the rules - we do. 🇪🇺

The Digital Markets Act is reshaping how digital platforms operate in order to:

✅ protect users
✅ boost competition
✅ ensure fairness

So, what’s happening right now?

Dear Volodymyr Zelenskyy,

Europe will always stand by Ukraine in the pursuit of peace.

You can count on our support at the negotiating table to achieve a just and lasting peace.

Today, we also discussed the steps Ukraine is taking to earn its place in our family of nations.

Bold yellow text reads: 'Apple and Meta fined for breaching the Digital Markets Act'. European Commission logos are at the bottom right.

Today, we've fined Apple and Meta for breaching the #DMA.

Apple restricts developers from informing customers about offers outside the App Store, while Meta doesn’t give consumers the choice of a service that uses less of their personal data.

⚡️ 'We know what we are fighting for' — Zelensky's Easter address to Ukraine in full.

Zelensky lauded Ukraine's "resilience, compassion, and humanity," adding the country's faith has "not faded over 1,152 days of full-scale war."

He won’t enact tariffs
He won’t start a trade war
He won’t cause a sell off
***YOU ARE HERE TODAY***
He won’t ban shorting
He won’t delist ADRs
He won’t fire Powell
He won’t spark a banking crisis
He won’t do capital controls
He won’t close markets
He won’t default on Treasuries

We took note of the announcement by President Trump.

We want to give negotiations a chance.

While finalising the adoption of the EU countermeasures that saw strong support from our Member States, we will put them on hold for 90 days.

Europe is ready to negotiate with the US.

We have offered zero-for-zero tariffs for industrial goods.

Because we're always ready for a good deal.

But we’re also prepared to respond with countermeasures.

And protect ourselves against indirect effects through trade diversion ⭣

Gratulation an alle, die beim #VCM
dabei waren!

Auch Team Europe war auf den Beinen, eine Staffel der @ec.europa.eu in Wien hat an das 30-jährige Jubiläum des 🇦🇹 EU-Beitritts erinnert.

Gemeinsam sind wir stärker 🇪🇺
