00:00At the same time, Europe imports twice as many digital services from the United States
00:08as we do from the entire Asia-Pacific.
00:12Of all American assets abroad, two-thirds are in Europe.
00:20And the U.S. provides over 50% of our LNG.
00:23Honestly, the trade volume between us is 1.5 trillion euros, representing 30% of global trade.
00:39A lot is at stake for both sides.
00:43So, our first priority will be to engage early, discuss common interests, and be ready to negotiate.
00:56We will be pragmatic, but we will always stand by our principles.
01:04We will protect our interests and uphold our values, because that is the European way.
01:13The rules of engagement between global powers are changing.
01:17We should not take anything for granted.
01:21And while some in Europe may not like this new reality, we are ready to deal with it.
01:27Our values do not change.
01:32But to defend these values in a changing world, we must change the way we act.
01:42We must look for new opportunities wherever they arise.
01:46This is the moment to engage beyond blocks and taboos.
01:53And Europe is ready for change.
01:57Thank you very much, and long live Europe.
02:00Thank you.
