Mens verdens øjne hviler på Ukraine og Mellemøsten, rykker Taiwan tættere på et farligt vendepunkt. Europa må ikke tøve, men stå skulder med skulder med demokratier - også i Asien. jyllands-posten.dk/debat/internat…

Ukraine is a rule of law democracy. It is their strongest weapon against an autocratic Russia. Now, more than ever, it is essential that the rule of law be upheld — and that the important fight against corruption continues.

The Global Space Council urges: Governments must develop a new, rules-based order for space before it’s too late. Space must remain accessible to the entire world. Read more on why urgent action is needed. spacenews.com/open-letter-fr… #SpaceGovernance #Sustainability

The modern space race is happening in a governance vacuum. Our orbits have become a dangerous wild west. If governments do not act, the impacts will be serious — for security, for our economies, and for our daily lives. Our Global Space Council in today's @SpaceNews_Inc:

Putin senses weakness — from the US and from Europe. He will bomb civilians until Ukraine runs out of missile defences. If he believes he can win, why would he stop? We must arm Ukraine to the teeth: to defend civilians, to stop Putin’s advance, and to force real negotiations.

Last week in Paris, I sat down with @Grand_Continent to discuss the security challenges that Europe is facing — and what we must do in response. legrandcontinent.eu/fr/2025/06/30/…

À l'occasion de sa venue à Paris, rencontre hier avec @AndersFoghR, ancien Secrétaire général de l'OTAN et ancien Premier ministre du Danemark. Echanges autour de la sécurité européenne et de la guerre en Ukraine, ainsi que sur les enjeux liés à l'espace en matière de défense.

For months I have been asking EU leaders to cut through the jungle of ESG rules and attract more private capital to European defence. Today, the @EUCouncil made clear that defence is in line with ESG. Our defence sector is open for business. My message: Invest, invest, invest!

Great to see you again, @ABlinken.

Heureux de m’être entretenu aujourd’hui à Paris avec Monsieur le Haut-Commissaire @CBeaune sur les sujets du renforcement de l’investissement privé dans la défense en Europe et le rôle de premier plan que la France peut jouer.

Europe built its post-Cold War prosperity on cheap energy from Russia, cheap goods from China, and cheap security from the United States. As we know by now, that model no longer works, @AndersFoghR writes. foreignpolicy.com/2025/06/23/eur…

Merci à Monsieur le Ministre @SebLecornu pour son accueil chaleureux et notre échange très productif ce matin à Paris — sur la sécurité, l’espace, et bien plus encore. En ce moment clé pour l’Europe, je salue le rôle moteur de la France.

Thank you to @MichelBarnier for the great discussion in Paris today on NATO, Ukraine, and France's important role in Europe.

NATO’s new 5% target is not to appease Donald Trump — it is because Vladimir Putin could invade a NATO ally within five years. Spain’s political games will undermine European unity. They may buy Prime Minister Sánchez time at home, but the real winner will be Putin.

The picture we waited 5 years for. Siarhei Tsikhanouski is free.  Congratulations to @Tsihanouskaya who never gave up. @AoDemocracies will continue to create platforms for political prisoners at our Copenhagen Democracy Summit. Thanks also @generalkellogg for your leadership.

Very sad to hear of the passing of former Canadian foreign minister and astronaut Marc Garneau. He was a thoughtful and principled voice—something I saw at this year’s Copenhagen Democracy Summit and on our Global Space Council. My deepest condolences to his family and friends.

"For too long, we have relied on a model that doesn't work any longer, a combination of cheap energy from Russia, cheap goods from China, and cheap security from the US," former NATO chief told RFE/RL. Read the full interview: rferl.org/a/33415781.html

Europe’s old model of relying on “cheap security from the US” no longer works, former NATO chief Anders Fogh Rasmussen told RFE/RL's @rayfurlong , urging European countries to double their defense spending. rferl.org/a/nato-rasmuss…
