Such an honor to attend my first White House Correspondents’ Dinner, a celebration of the importance of a free press, with Bloomberg. The work of journalists to shine a light on the truth is critical to a healthy democracy... but so is the ability to poke fun at yourself, too!

What can you do on Friday night? Discuss Europe’s future - existential security challenges, Ukraine reconstruction, EU enlargement. Great to have those discussions with Gert Jan Koopman coming to DC and many colleagues in think tanks, who care

At work in Las Vegas today— uniquely American city with glittering replicas of European landmarks. Thanks to Carolyn G. Goodman Carolyn Goodman for the welcome and to LV consular corps and WAC-LV for explaining the city’s global ties and outlook. Will return for a state-wide visit

Tonight's vote in the Senate is a milestone moment for Ukraine and its allies. The transatlantic commitment to freedom and democracy is strong, and we have no doubt that Ukraine will put every ounce of effort into pushing back on Russian aggression.

Absolutely welcome news today from the 🇺🇸 House of Representatives. The US is showing commitment not just to #Ukraine , but to what Ukraine represents in these turbulent times: #Freedom , #democracy , a right to choose one's destiny. These are transatlantic values we must protect.

We are 100% behind our Baltic members and friends as they express support for Speaker Mike Johnson ahead of a critical vote for more U.S. aid to #Ukraine .

Thanks POLITICO Suzanne Lynch for hosting with us tonight's reception during #SpringMeetings . There is strong EU presence this week, as we are a key player in tackling major challenges like ongoing support for #Ukraine . But no country can do this alone. We need our US partners.

The European Union has never faltered in its support for #Ukraine and we never will. To date we've committed over $155 billion. We are currently training 60,000 Ukrainian military personnel. Our unique fact sheet says it all: europa.eu/!n48g3X #StandWithUkraine

Great chat with Shelley Moore Capito from #WestVirginia today. Thank you for supporting continued aid to #Ukraine and the transatlantic alliance overall. Also discussed our strong #trade relationship: The EU invests $3.4B in the state, and WV exports to the EU $980M in goods.

Great to see Sen. Dan Sullivan on the warmer side of the US! My visit to #Alaska for Arctic Encounter was breathtaking. Today, we discussed sanctions against #Russia . EU sanctions have greatly weakened Russia’s economy. We can't let up now. Further 🇪🇺🇺🇸 cooperation is essential.

Thanks American Council on Germany Atlantik-Brücke for inviting me to speak about public perceptions of the war in #Ukraine during this election year. Europeans understand what is at stake & there continues to be broad support for the EU response. 72% support financial assistance to 🇺🇦.

Students wield amazing power through their passion, innovation, and relentless pursuit of change. We need this! I was happy to share my story as Jovita Neliupšienė with young women from Spelman College, a leading #HBCU . I hope it inspired them to aim high and work hard toward their dreams.

.The Washington Post is the “hometown newspaper” of DC, so I was eager to meet those covering foreign affairs and national security. At lunch, we discussed calibrating our relationship with global actors like #China , #Iran , and #Russia in a world of increasing security threats.

Being on top of the world means being in North Slope. One day trip to Utaqiagvik - Inupiat community, Piuraagiaqta spring festival, Ilisagvik College exploring bacterias in permafrost, int coop at Barrow Arctic Research Center part of EU PolarIn. All this because of Arctic Encounter

#Alaska and #Arctic as a whole is not only about challenges, need to do lists, it is about indigenous peoples, their traditions and wisdom. A great thanks for Arctic Encounter Sen. Lisa Murkowski Rachel Kallander and the team bringing us this experience
