Secretary Marco Rubio

72nd Secretary of State serving under the leadership of @POTUS Trump.

[Secretary Marco Rubio @SecRubio]

For 250 years, America has been the greatest nation on Earth — and with God’s grace, it will be for 250 more.

Happy Independence Day!

[Secretary Marco Rubio @SecRubio]

Today @POTUS informed Congress of his intent to rescind Syria’s designation as a State Sponsor of Terrorism. This historic step opens new possibilities for economic opportunity and recovery, giving the Syrian people a chance at greatness.

Met with Japanese Foreign Minister Motegi Toshimitsu and Republic of Korea Foreign Minister Cho Hyun on the sidelines of the @NATO Summit in Ankara. NATO's vital cooperation with Indo-Pacific partners strengthens global security and the cooperation between our three nations advances the safety, security, and prosperity of all of our nations.

Productive first meeting with Chilean Minister of Foreign Affairs @MinPerezMac. Under President @joseantoniokast’s leadership, Chile is a strong partner, and our relationship has never been stronger. Looking forward to what our nations will accomplish together.

An incredible weekend celebrating America’s 250th Birthday! 🇺🇸

As we reflect on two and a half centuries of American strength and achievement, we move forward with confidence, gratitude, and an unwavering pride in our country, our people, and the enduring American spirit.

[Department of State @StateDept]

From the hardy pioneers on the Oregon Trail to astronauts transcending the limits of Earth itself, America has always been a frontier nation.

We are the greatest nation on Earth. That has been true for 250 years.

And with God’s grace, it will be true for the next 250 as well.

I’ve designated the Ecuadorian gang Chone Killers as a Foreign Terrorist Organization and Specially Designated Global Terrorist. Ecuadorian gangs help Mexican cartels move and export illicit drugs to fund terrorism and criminal activity. The Chone Killers have attacked civilians, law enforcement officers, and government officials, including high profile assassinations of public officials.

Working with President @DanielNoboaOk in Ecuador, we will continue to strengthen our regional security and ensure narcoterrorists have no place in our hemisphere.

[Secretary Marco Rubio @SecRubio]

For decades, the Cuban Institute of Friendship with the People – or “ICAP” – has been a vehicle for radical left-wing extremism and subversive foreign influence in the United States and across our hemisphere. ICAP is the Cuban regime’s premier influence and intelligence front group, exploiting its vast global network to spy on Americans, promote anti-Western propaganda, coordinate foreign influence operations, and organize revolutionary leftist movements around the world.

Earlier this month, I designated ICAP and several other Cuban organizations responsible for engaging in subversive anti-American activities, pursuant to sanctions authorities created by President Trump’s Cuba Executive Order.

This week, I terminated the legal status of Carlos Antonio Lloga Dominguez, a former ICAP official who maintains ties with the organization. Lloga Dominguez and his wife and son are now in federal custody pending removal from the United States.

America will never become home for foreign communists who peddle propaganda, run subversive influence operations, or support radical anti-American movements within the United States. Transact with ICAP and you will be sanctioned, prosecuted or deported from our country.

[Secretary Marco Rubio @SecRubio]

Met with Tajikistani Foreign Minister Muhriddin to discuss expanding commercial opportunities in critical minerals. We also talked about our continued cooperation in security and counterterrorism and the importance of engagement through the C5+1 diplomatic platform.

[Secretary Marco Rubio @SecRubio]

Met with Libyan National Army Deputy Commander Saddam Haftar to discuss unifying Libya’s military and building the conditions for lasting peace. The U.S. will continue working with Libyan leaders and international partners to support a more peaceful, unified, and prosperous Libya.

[Secretary Marco Rubio @SecRubio]

Met with German Foreign Minister @AussenMinDE today to discuss the situation in the Middle East and reiterated our shared commitment to ensuring Iran never obtains or develops a nuclear weapon. We also reaffirmed the need for NATO burden shifting and a durable peace between Russia and Ukraine.

[Department of State @StateDept]

Against impossible odds, hope endures. 🇺🇸

The U.S. is proud to be a part of today's historic trilateral framework agreement between Israel and Lebanon.

There is more work to be done, but we're taking meaningful steps toward a future of peace, prosperity, and mutual coexistence.

[LACoFD @LACOFD]

The #LACoFD international USAR team, known as USA-2, has been activated by the @StateDept to respond to Venezuela in the wake of the earthquakes that hit the country’s center.  

The USA-2 team departed this evening. USA-2 is comprised of 71 members, 6 canine teams & includes 84,000 pounds of equipment. USA-2 joins the @VATF1 to provide search, rescue & recovery assistance. 

Our thoughts are with all those impacted by these devastating earthquakes & we wish all the responding first responders safe travels as they assist during this time of great need.

Met with His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa of Bahrain to reaffirm our enduring partnership and our commitment to Bahrain's security. We stand united on regional stability, a free and open Strait of Hormuz, and preventing Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon. Iran's attacks on Bahrain were unacceptable, and the United States stands with the people and government of Bahrain.
