Warm welcome, Yvette Cooper, to the New Königswinter Future Lab. Whether on Iran, Russia’s war against Ukraine or Sudan — we stand together as close friends, as trusting partners, as strong allies. The #Kensington Treaty will continue to intensify our excellent cooperation.
Good to see you, Mark.
Thanks for your great service to our #NATO alliance. Russia’s war against #Ukraine remains Europe’s greatest security threat. Together, we stand ready to take on more responsibility & advance transatlantic burden shifting to #Europe.
