Another Russian hybrid operation is underway, this time attempting to spread fear, uncertainty and doubt about their intentions in the Baltic Sea. This is an obvious escalation against NATO and the EU, and must be met with an appropriately firm response.

At the Council of Europe: for those who miss 🇷🇺 at this table, I'm confident there will be a room for it at the Special International Tribunal soon.

Taking over the presidency of Council of Europe Committee of Ministers, Lithuania sets support to Ukraine on the top of agenda. Freedom, democracy & rule of law are the foundational  #CoE  values, it is crucial to uphold them at home and worldwide in the face of aggression & authoritarianism.

Pleased to meet with Segreteria di Stato per gli Affari Esteri SMR Luca Beccari. Signing of 🇱🇹-🇸🇲  agreement on avoidance of double taxation should give fresh impetus to the development of our economic relations.

Good talk with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, touching upon the most important issues of allied defence & security and support for Ukraine.

NATO must stay vigilant and all-around fit to deter Russia. If aggression pays off once, it's an invitation to use it repeatedly.

FM Gabrielius Landsbergis🇱🇹: 'We took one more step in strengthening our strategic partnership with 🇺🇸'

I just imposed a series of tariffs on goods made in China:

25% on steel and aluminum,
50% on semiconductors,
100% on EVs,
And 50% on solar panels.

China is determined to dominate these industries.

I'm determined to ensure America leads the world in them.

Welcomed Mr. Jedidiah Royal, 🇺🇸Principal Deputy Asst. Secretary of Defense for Indo-Pacific, to discuss the urgent need to sustain defense efforts for #Ukraine , preventing escalation in the #IndoPacific . 🇱🇹 remains committed to enhancing our engagement in the region & beyond.

Today is LT‘s 1st day in the Executive Council of the #OPCW . Last November, 193 States Parties of the Chemical Weapons Convention decided the composition of the Executive Council for 2024-2026. The signal was loud and clear: #Lithuania , #Poland & #Ukraine were chosen over Russia.

Putin has threatened to use nuclear weapons many times, but it's always a bluff. He has nothing to gain from nuclear war, he has everything to lose. When his empty threats make us back down, he escalates anyway. Every time. That's the reality of de-escalation. BBC HARDtalk

Honored to meet with a delegation of our esteemed friends from #Japan . This once again emphasized the importance of people-to-people connections in advancing the 🇱🇹-🇯🇵 Strategic partnership.
