Met with Kuwaiti Foreign Minister Sheikh Jarrah Jaber Al-Ahmad Al Sabah to affirm the United States’ commitment to the security of Kuwait and all our partners in the Gulf. The United States and Kuwait are united in our vision of regional stability and an open and free Strait of Hormuz.

On June 4, the world marks 37 years since the Chinese Communist Party ordered its troops to attack thousands of peaceful demonstrators in and around Tiananmen Square. Those who sacrificed to uphold their unalienable rights of free expression and peaceful assembly will be vindicated someday.

[The White House @WhiteHouse]

Don't act like I never told ya.

[Department of State @StateDept]

We’re here to win for America. 🇺🇸

[Secretary Marco Rubio @SecRubio]

Ambassador Tom Barrack has been and remains a central interlocutor on Syria, and key trusted hand on Iraq.

He will continue to play a vital role, not only as our Ambassador to the Republic of Türkiye, but also as we advance the President's strategic cooperation with the government in Syria and begin our work with the new government in Iraq.

He is an indispensable member of the President's team, carries my full confidence, and operates with the full backing of the State Department. The American people are well served by his continued willingness to lead this work.

[Secretary Marco Rubio @SecRubio]

Ambassador Tom Barrak has played an invaluable role as our Special Envoy to Syria.

While that title is expiring, he will continue to play a leading role for the Trump Administration in both Syria and Iraq, where his expertise, relationships, and understanding of the America First agenda will continue to deliver wins on behalf of our great country.

For decades, Cuba has been the world capital for radical left-wing terrorism. The regime in Havana has recruited, trained and backed violent Marxist and third-worldist movements across our hemisphere and beyond. Today, we are targeting the network that enables and funds Cuba's subversive and radical operations.

Pursuant to sanctions authorities created by President Trump’s groundbreaking Cuba Executive Order, I am designating the following entities:

1. Ministry of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Cuba (MINFAR)
2. Cuban Institute of Friendship with the Peoples (ICAP)
3. Amistur Cuba S.A.
4. Committees for the Defense of the Revolution (CDR)
5. Minera La Victoria S.A.

Anyone providing services to these sanctioned actors is at risk of sanctions themselves. Foreign banks and other companies that provide services to these entities should freeze those activities.

The Trump Administration will no longer tolerate radical Marxist regimes in our hemisphere seeking to threaten U.S. national security and engage in influence operations to export their poisonous and evil “revolution” to our country and around the world.

Met with Pakistani Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister @MIshaqDar50 and thanked him for the role Pakistan continues to play in advancing peace in the Middle East. We agreed upon the importance of working together to further strengthen a meaningful partnership for better security and more prosperity for our two nations.

[Secretary Marco Rubio @SecRubio]

Primeiro Comando da Capital and Comando Vermelho are two of the most violent criminal organizations in Brazil. Their reach extends throughout our region and into our country. 

Today, I designated these organizations as Foreign Terrorist Organizations and Specially Designated Global Terrorists. 

The Trump Administration will continue using every available tool to protect our national security interests and deny funding and resources to narco-terrorists.

Jeanette and I were honored to visit the Taj Mahal in Agra, India alongside @USAmbIndia.

The Taj Mahal’s ancient architecture stands as a beautiful testament to Indian civilization and heritage.

Today in Yerevan, Armenian Foreign Minister @AraratMirzoyan and I announced a bilateral framework agreement on the Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity (TRIPP) and signed a Strategic Partnership Charter and MOU on Critical Minerals, furthering the goals established during @POTUS’s historic peace summit between Armenia and Azerbaijan. We also discussed the peace process and Armenia’s upcoming elections.

Today, @DrSJaishankar and I signed a bilateral Critical Minerals Framework, marking a milestone in the strategic partnership between the U.S. and India.

This sets us on a path toward reliable & resilient mineral supply chains, reinforcing key objectives established by @POTUS.

Under President Trump, we have ushered in a new golden age for U.S.-Japan relations that upholds a free and open Indo-Pacific and brings peace and prosperity to the region. I met with Japanese Foreign Minister @Moteging today to talk about keeping the momentum as we work together bilaterally and through the Quad.

[Secretary Marco Rubio @SecRubio]

It was great to meet with Australian Foreign Minister @SenatorWong on the margins of the Quad Foreign Ministers’ Meeting in New Delhi today.

We're making sure our alliance and partnership benefits Americans and Australians alike, and our collaboration through the Quad is a force for a more stable, secure, prosperous world.

[Secretary Marco Rubio @SecRubio]

America was built, defended, and preserved by those willing to give everything for it.

On Memorial Day, we honor the heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation and our freedom. We will never forget them.

[Secretary Marco Rubio @SecRubio]

The U.S. stands firmly with the legitimate Government of Lebanon as it works to restore its authority and build a better future for all its people. Hizballah's threats of violence and overthrow will not be allowed to succeed. The era in which a terrorist group held an entire nation hostage is coming to an end.
