Great news at the start of the #NATOSummit in Madrid. Thanks to Türkiye giving the green light, we are one step closer to Finland and Sweden’s accession to NATO. An important step for 🇫🇮 and 🇸🇪, for security in Europe, and for an even stronger Alliance.

I regretted that I could not attend the recital in Carnegie Hall a few weeks ago. But the Netherland Club of New York gave me a second chance. A big thank you to Tosca Opdam & Matthew Graybill for a wonderful concert at the Salmagundi Club.
