🇭🇺 On the 70th anniversary of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution and Freedom Fight, we honour those who gave their lives for freedom. The Hungarian nation made world history by being the first to rise up against Soviet oppression, inspiring freedom movements across Central Europe.

Always a pleasure to meet @USAmbEU Andrew Puzder. Thank you for the great discussion!
Great discussion today with my friend Hungarian Permanent Representative @odor_balint. A strong U.S.-EU relationship is built with partners who value economic growth, energy resilience, strong borders, and security.  The U.S. and Hungary are working together in the EU to reduce regulatory burdens, tackle shared challenges, and deliver prosperity and security for our citizens.

Great start to the season with EP President Roberta Metsola.
Europeans' expectations require efficient, united action. Great to continue our annual tradition of welcoming the EU Member States' Permanent Representatives to @Europarl_EN to look forward on what we can deliver together. Real work ahead including on competitiveness, trade, and the EU budget. Let's get it done.
