I had a good discussion with President Trump on the margins of the UN General Assembly.
I thanked him for his commitment to alleviate the plight of Ukraine's missing children.
Europe and the United States will work hand in hand to bring them back.
We discussed Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine. We agreed on the need to cut Russia's revenues from fossil fuels, and fast.
This is precisely what Europe is doing with our 19th package of sanctions.
We tighten the pressure, banning imports of Russian LNG into European markets and targeting refineries, oil traders and refineries in third countries.
By 2027, Europe will have turned the page on Russian fossil fuels for good.
We also addressed the Kremlin's provocations, including regular incursions into European airspace.
These are clear attempts to test our response.
So Europe is speeding up its defence efforts to strengthen its eastern flank.
It must act as a shield for both Europe and NATO.
Finally, we discussed the situation in the Middle East. We both agree that the suffering of civilians must end. Europe stands firmly united behind the Two-State solution.
