Thanks to @SenSanders — a champion of strong transatlantic relations. We had a great first discussion on EU-US joint work on peace and democracy, from Ukraine to the Middle East.

Your quarterly reminder that champagne only comes from the Champagne region of France 🥂🇫🇷

Champagne Problems, starring Minka Kelly and Tom Wozniczka, premieres in 12 HOURS. An ambitious exec is tasked with closing a major champagne acquisition before Christmas. Only to fall for a charming Parisian local...who happens to be the founder's son 👀

Sometimes even @nytimes gets things wrong. Honey cake (medovyk) is Ukrainian, not Russian! And it is very, very delicious at the Ukrainian restaurant Ruta in DC 🍰

Dear @kmathernova and colleagues: Sending my best wishes to you and the Ukrainian people after such a horrific attack. Putin knows no limits, yet @EUDelegationUA continues to do this important work for the future of a free Ukraine. Thank you. #StrongerTogether
Russia’s “peace” last night: a massive strike on Kyiv with drones and ballistic missiles. At least 10 killed, 30 injured, many buildings destroyed. The EU Delegation was severely damaged by the shock wave. This is Moscow’s true answer to peace efforts.

Trade is never not on my agenda. Today I met with @DistilledSpirit BOD to discuss the status of trade negotiations. I also welcomed @DIHK_News CEO Helena Melnikov and the German chambers of commerce to Washington. I appreciated both moments to showcase transatlantic cooperation.

Unjustified tariffs inevitably backfire. We'll act in a calm, carefully phased, unified way, as we calibrate our response, while allowing adequate time for talks. But we won't stand idly by, should we be unable to reach a fair deal. I'll speak to my U.S. counterparts tomorrow.
