Pelosi Remarks at Photo Opportunity with European Parliament President Antonio Tajani

Speaker Pelosi.  Good afternoon, everyone.  I'm very pleased to welcome President Tajani to the Capitol of the United States.

We earlier shared the pride we take in our Italian-American roots.

We just had a productive meeting with the European Parliament Transatlantic [Legislators'] Dialogue.  In our meeting this afternoon, I look forward to continuing our conversation: whether it's about trade and issues about our mutual economic security, whether it's about human rights and anti-Semitism, democracy and protecting the integrity of our elections, whether it's about issues that talk about – that look to the Europeans for their leadership on addressing the climate crisis, which they're ahead of us on and we learn a lot from you on that – and about security, in terms of strengthening our NATO relationship.

So it's about impressing upon each other, certainly from our standpoint, bipartisan support for the transatlantic relationship as being a very strong priority to our economic, our national, our cultural security.

With that, I'm very pleased to yield to the very distinguished President of the European Parliament, Mr. Tajani.
