Great to kick off the #NATO Public Forum with questions from the online audience. We talked about how Allies are ramping up defence spending, increasing production, supporting Ukraine, and other key topics for the #NATOsummit in The Hague!

Good to connect with Defence Ministers in the Ukraine Defence Contact Group today. We continue to work closely to ensure 🇺🇦 has the support they need - including through the new initiative that enables Allies new access to purchase US equipment for Ukraine via #NATO

NATO Allies strongly condemn Russia’s malicious cyber activities and will employ the full range of capabilities to deter, defend and counter the full spectrum of cyber threats. bit.ly/4eVWyl7

Congrats to @Svyrydenko_Y on being appointed as Ukraine’s Prime Minister and thanks to @Denys_Shmyhal for all his good work. I look forward to working closely with him in his new role as Defence Minister. Ukraine has NATO’s continued support.

Great meeting with @POTUS today. We’re already delivering on decisions from the #NATOSummit in a major way, bringing together more spending, more production & more support to Ukraine. Russia’s brutality needs to stop - this new initiative will help deliver just and lasting peace

Russia’s continued massive attacks against Ukrainian civilians are deplorable. Earlier today I urged leaders to go further so Ukraine has more ammunition & air defences. I’ve just spoken with President Trump & am now working closely with Allies to get Ukraine the help they need

A pleasure to meet 🇩🇪 @bundeskanzler Friedrich Merz. We talked about moving forward on the key decisions made at last month’s #NATOsummit. #Germany plays a leading role in NATO. Your landmark decision to invest significantly more in defence underlines your resolve & commitment to…

A privilege to participate in the change of command ceremony @SHAPE_NATO, bidding a fond farewell to Gen Cavoli & a warm welcome to Gen Grynkewich as Supreme Allied Commander Europe. To be SACEUR is to stand in General Eisenhower’s shoes, to stand for freedom, against aggression…

Spoke with 🇰🇷 President @Jaemyung_Lee by phone about the value of #NATO - Republic of Korea partnership. We are enhancing shared security through regular information exchange and defence industrial cooperation. I also thanked the President for ROK’s continued support for Ukraine.

Thanks so much @EP_President Roberta Metsola for facilitating a great discussion with @Europarl_EN group leaders last night. We covered key #NATO Summit outcomes: invest much more in defence, ramp up defence production, and more support for Ukraine. All to make us more secure.

Good discussion with @Markus_Soeder at NATO HQ yesterday. As Allies invest more in defence, we also need to rapidly ramp up production. Appreciate hearing about how Bavaria is supporting innovation and the defence industry.

Excellent visit to @Airbus, meeting with @GuillaumeFaury & Airbus top executives. We know the defence capabilities we need, so we must see more concrete orders. We count on Airbus & the defence industry to deliver them - at scale & faster. It’s essential for our security across…

Good to meet President @ZelenskyyUa again today with leaders of the E5 countries 🇫🇷🇩🇪🇮🇹🇵🇱🇬🇧. #NATO's commitment to #Ukraine endures. Allies’ unprecedented practical & political support is crucial in 🇺🇦’s fight for freedom. #NATOsummit

That's a wrap for the #NATOsummit. Allies came together & delivered: laying the foundations for a #NATO that is stronger, fairer & more lethal. Ensuring our Alliance is ready to safeguard our freedom & security, now and in the future Declaration: bit.ly/summit-declara…

Great to join Ursula @vonderleyen and 🇳🇱 Defence Minister @rubenbrekelmans at the #NATOsummit Defence Industry Forum. There’s no security without strong defences. And no defence without a strong defence industry. So we must unite, innovate and deliver.

A warm welcome to Foreign Minister Takeshi Iwaya of #Japan 🇯🇵. The partnership between #NATO and Japan is strong & it is only getting stronger. Our cooperation benefits the security of the Euro-Atlantic and the Indo-Pacific. #NATOsummit

Great to welcome Prime Minister @chrisluxonmp of #NewZealand 🇳🇿 to the #NATOsummit. New Zealand is a highly valued partner providing important support to #Ukraine. We look forward to deepening our partnership even further, including on defence industrial cooperation.

Important to meet with 🇺🇦 President @ZelenskyyUa, @eucopresident António Costa and #EU Commission President @vonderleyen We made clear: #Ukraine can count on us – #NATO and the #EU are working together to ensure our strong support for #Ukraine - including their defence industry
