Departing for France to attend the @G7 Foreign Ministers’ Meeting.
Global security demands decisive action, and the United States will press for greater burden sharing from our partners to address global crises and counter instability worldwide.
Susie Wiles served our country with exceptional strength, devotion, and grace. She has done an incredible job serving our country and President Trump. I am grateful for her service, her friendship, and I wish her continued success in her next chapter.
I look forward to continuing to work with Stephen Miller, one of the President’s most trusted and longtime advisors, to advance the President’s agenda.
Today is my last day as White House Chief of Staff.
Serving President Trump in the White House has been the honor of a lifetime. I’m so proud to have been a part of what we’ve accomplished together from securing our border and cutting taxes to strengthening our economy and putting America First.
More than anything, I’m grateful for the extraordinary people I’ve had the privilege of working alongside. While my role may be changing, my commitment to the President and the mission never will.
The U.S. strongly condemns the Hong Kong Court’s decision to once again sentence Joshua Wong for exercising his freedom of speech. He has used peaceful means to defend the rights promised to all individuals in Hong Kong.
We call for his immediate release and that of all unjustly detained persons.
The United States will not tolerate subversive communist networks in our hemisphere.
The Marxist Cuban regime relies on a web of state-owned enterprises, joint ventures, and offshore intermediaries to keep its systems running, and its foreign backers supply the military equipment that helps sustain the regime’s military forces and enables persistent threats to the American homeland.
Today, I'm sanctioning eight entities and two individuals associated with the regime’s financial and shipping network, state-owned import and technical-support entities, and China-based suppliers of the regime's military forces.

Met with Venezuelan Foreign Minister @oliverblanco today. Reconciliation and institutional reform are Venezuela’s path to an enduring republic. The United States will keep supporting this Venezuelan-led process, which is laying the groundwork for free, fair, and credible elections.
Met with Australian Foreign Minister @SenatorWong at the @G20org to reaffirm the strength of the U.S.-Australia Alliance and its vital importance to promoting a free and open Indo-Pacific.
At the closing @G20org Foreign Ministers’ Meeting, I made clear to our partners that secure supply chains are essential for growth.
Critical trade routes including the Strait of Hormuz and Bab al-Mandeb Strait must remain secure and open to commerce. And we must continue to strengthen and expand critical mineral supply chains to protect our future.
I was pleased to meet with my Quad counterparts in Atlanta and discuss the real progress we have made in turning our shared priorities into real benefits for the Indo-Pacific.
As our nations continue building reliable and open supply chains, supporting next-generation technologies, increasing maritime cooperation, and securing critical minerals, the United States, Australia, India, and Japan are delivering results for our people and the nations in the region.
A successful G20 Ministerial Summit in Atlanta, which included the 3rd QUAD meeting of the year. @SecRubio remains highly committed to a free and open Indo-Pacific.

Expo 2030 is an important platform to advance American innovation, expand U.S. businesses opportunities, and strengthen our strategic partnership with Saudi Arabia.
The United States is leading the charge to strengthen global energy security for a more prosperous future.
The world needs energy addition—not subtraction or transition—for future prosperity.
This means multiple energy sources, multiple supplier economies, and multiple delivery routes.
Today I am designating former Libyan judicial police official Osema Almasri Habeesh Najeem for his role in the torture and cruel, inhumane, and degrading treatment of detainees. The Trump Administration will not tolerate violence and abuse against Christians or members of other religious minority groups.

Through our America First agenda, the United States is encouraging partners to protect shipping routes, strengthen food security, and reduce the economic consequences of geopolitical crises.
SECRETARY RUBIO at G20: By translating our shared interests into practical cooperation and real action, we can reinforce global stability, and more importantly, we can deliver meaningful results for our citizens.
