European leaders on Monday guardedly celebrated U.S. President Donald Trump’s announcement of a ceasefire agreement between Tehran and Washington.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, European Council President António Costa and EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas all praised the development, but stressed the importance of quickly easing the global energy crisis.
Von der Leyen emphasized reopening the Strait of Hormuz should be a priority. “This agreement should allow for the immediate reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. Freedom of navigation must be restored toll-free,” she wrote on X.
