Hey everyone , good morning! It ' s great to see my buddy Josep here in DC at the State Department . The European Union is always our go - to partner when it comes to tackling the big issues of our time , whether it ' s in the transatlantic or global space . We ' re really grateful for their partnership and the fact that we align on so many important issues . Today , Josep and I will be discussing our unwavering support for Ukraine in the face of Russian aggression , the Middle East and Gaza crisis , challenges in the Western Balkans , and our common approach to dealing with China . These are just a few of the many issues the US and EU are working on together . So glad to have you here to continue this important work , Josep . Welcome!We really hate the current situation , but we can ' t just sit around and hate it . We both agree that we need to take action – the people in Gaza are in serious danger right now . And , once again , thank you for all your personal efforts . And then , we need to make sure we have humanitarian access by sea and air – that ' s a good start . But it ' s not enough . We can ' t replace hundreds of trucks with parachutes . The most important thing is to open the borders by land and keep working towards a two - state solution , which both the U . S . and EU support . It ' s the only way to achieve long - lasting peace . I hope we can work together to make that happen . Thanks a lot , Secretary of State . SECRETARY BLINKEN: Thanks , everyone .
