The tide is turning for Ukraine.
The situation in 2026 is very different from 2025.
Ukraine is bravely holding the frontline.
Russia’s fatigue is openly showing.
That’s the time to double down on our support.
With the first disbursement of the €90 billion EU loan.
With a winter package to support Ukraine later in the year.
The G7 stands in support of a strong and sovereign Ukraine.

We had a good discussion on global imbalances.
There was clear support for staying the course.
Diversifying and de-risking our relationships, not decoupling.
We have built a strong toolbox to protect our market from unfair practices.
Now we must use it more strategically.
And the @EU_Commission@respublicae.eu will work on new tools such as a diversification instrument.

I welcome the agreement between Israel and Lebanon. This is a critical step away from escalation. Because there can be no peace in the Middle East with Lebanon in flames. My thanks to the US for the mediation. Key next steps are the disarmament of non-state groups and preserving Lebanese sovereignty and territorial integrity. The EU stands ready to support this path to lasting regional stability, also with the continued delivery of much needed humanitarian aid with € 100 million mobilised for the displaced.

Important G7 session on AI.
AI is developing exponentially. It is the most important technology of our time.
It comes with immense potential, but also risks for free, democratic societies.
I believe Europe and the US should work together on AI.
Together, we represent 70% of the world market.
We have complementary strengths, shared security interests, and a common responsibility to lead.
So we should deepen our cooperation.
Invest together.
Accelerate adoption everywhere, from industry to healthcare.
And ensure that the most powerful models are trustworthy and safe.

Good meeting with @MohamedBinZayed at the G7 in Évian.
With the US-Iran agreement, it is time for Iran to end its unjustified attacks against its neighbours.
This crisis heightened the need for Europe and the Gulf to deepen their partnership.
Many opportunities lie ahead for EU-UAE relations from trade to security cooperation.
Let's take this forward at our next EU-@GCC Summit.

Today our G7 discussion focuses on two closely linked challenges.
First, structural imbalances in the global economy, including persistent overcapacities in strategic sectors.
Second, the crises affecting us all: Russia's war against Ukraine, the conflict in the Middle East and health emergencies.
These crises often amplify existing vulnerabilities.
Geopolitical shocks can aggravate structural economic challenges.
Hormuz is a case in point.
As partners, our work has two strands.
The first is external. We'll keep weaving a tighter network of trusted partnerships, expand preferential trade links, and diversify our sources of critical raw materials.
The second starts at home. We need to strengthen our own resilience, in manufacturing, technology, energy and defence.
That means creating the right conditions for industry to thrive. And ensuring we have the right tools to protect our market when necessary.
This work will continue at the European Council.

In a session on the Middle East with regional partners.
First, we need to ensure the full restoration of freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, without restrictions.
Second, the events in the Strait have highlighted vulnerabilities that we need to adress.
We should work together to alternative supply routes and new corridors, such as the IMEC.
With better connectivity, we can transform vulnerabilities into opportunities.
We also discussed Lebanon.
Because a stable and peaceful Middle East requires a stable and peaceful Lebanon.

From today, customs duties apply to e-commerce parcels worth up to €150 entering the EU. 30 million Europeans work in retail; it's our our largest private-sector employer. And the surge in low-value online imports has put our retailers at an unfair disadvantage. Too many of these products also fail to meet EU safety standards, putting consumers at risk. Today's change is about restoring fairness for European businesses and better protecting our consumers.
