#GAC: I briefed on our work on joint gas purchasing via the #EUEnergyPlatform.
I appreciated the clear political will to make this happen. Genuine engagement by our gas industry is inevitable for our collective #energysecurity, incl. sustainable prices.

The #battery industry is expected to need an extra 800,000 skilled workers by 2025. In the solar panel industry, it's 1M by 2030.
Our EU-wide #foresight network met to discuss social sustainability in relation to open strategic autonomy. Stay tuned for the 2023 Foresight Report.

Worth the time and effort to invest in partnerships between like-minded countries, with the time-honoured and robust 🇪🇺🇺🇸 bond at the core.

While trading energy is first and foremost a matter of business, the #EUEnergyPlatform also has a political dimension:
👉Shows the European players pulling together;
👉US involvement would underline that the transatlantic allies have each others' backs.

The EU's moving at lightning speed to diversify away from Russia. Glad to have met @SenBillCassidy to discuss 🇪🇺 #energysecurity and the role of 🇺🇸 LNG.
The stronger we're on both sides of the Atlantic, the more we can help 🇺🇦. The EU's making available $73bn, with more to come.

Must be proud of our 🇺🇦 friends.
Can be proud of 🇪🇺🇺🇸 cooperation in supporting Ukraine.
Hope to be proud for our role in helping turn the tide.
At the @AtlanticCouncil, we've reflected on the fast-approaching 1-year anniversary of Russia's invasion.

RT @ChrisMurphyCT: Thanks to @MarosSefcovic Vice President of the European Commission for coming by the office today to talk about the status of talks on the Northern Ireland Protocol.
It’s time to get this done. The EU is willing to cut a good deal. The UK needs to get this done.

US LNG has played a pivotal role in Europe's #energysecurity. Today I chaired a roundtable, bringing together major European gas companies and key US LNG producers.
US engagement in the #EUEnergyPlatform for joint gas purchasing would give 🇪🇺🇺🇸 energy ties new dimension.

Alongside the US, the EU's been standing shoulder to shoulder with Ukraine; and will keep doing so for as long as it takes.
Great to see @UnderSecStateP to discuss 🇪🇺🇺🇸 support moving forward. We also want to see our cooperation expanding into domains like global supply chains.
