Department of State

Leading U.S. foreign policy and American diplomacy since 1789.
For all Department accounts:

[Department of State @StateDept]

Western civilization is worth defending.

[Department of State @StateDept]

Communism is the most barbaric, evil ideology the world has ever seen.

Today and every day, we mourn the tens of millions of innocent men, women, and children slain at the hands of this wicked ideology.

THE HILL: Rubio places additional sanctions on Cuba, targeting ‘illicit’ shipping network https://t.co/W2SkgyQH9z

[Secretary Marco Rubio @SecRubio]

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.

The Trump Administration will not stand by while the Cuban regime funnels the island’s resources to its military elite, while regime insiders and their family members profit from opaque offshore networks, and while Cuba continues to serve as a staging ground for a global coalition of hostile anti-American actors to threaten, spy on, and plot against the United States and its interests. https://t.co/m1skDKvsFn

FIRST LADY: Together, we can create something more enduring than a temporary ceasefire. Let us see Oleshky as a spark in a world of darkness, capable of illuminating the best in humanity. Together, we can build a powerful flame of peace, visible to the world. Ignite hope, foster cooperation, and brighten a path toward lasting peace.

[Dylan Johnson @ASDylanJohnson]

This is completely baseless fake news from made-up anonymous "sources."

It is unsurprising that this completely fabricated hoax is being peddled by @AndrewFeinberg — who recently worked for a Russian state-owned media outlet.

We look forward to revisiting this "report" in the coming weeks to celebrate yet another humiliating own goal by The Independent.

NEW YORK POST: First lady Melania Trump called Thursday for a full peace deal between Ukraine and Russia as she hosted negotiators at the White House on Thursday, the first time such a meeting has taken place as the war nears the end of its fifth year. https://t.co/fE8u98L0wM

FOX BUSINESS on GREENLAND DEAL: Greenland's parliament ratifying the security agreement struck back in September, paving the way for more U.S. military bases on the island and the addition of President Trump's Golden Dome defense system.

[Department of State @StateDept]

NEWSMAX on GREENLAND DEAL: This is a major security deal with Denmark, which we know President Trump had pushed for, and a win for this administration.

NEW YORK POST: Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio have prioritized as many as 20 nations across the Americas to curb threats, secure supply chains, and stop the flow of illicit drugs and migration, according to a senior administration official. https://t.co/6PeeJxL1eg

[Department of State @StateDept]

Greenland's ratification of President Trump’s historic agreement marks another major victory for American national security.

This Administration is securing America’s strategic interests in the Arctic, strengthening our national defense and ensuring this critical region remains free of adversarial threats.

[Department of State @StateDept]

PRESIDENT TRUMP on EUROPE: They just gave the United States the greatest gift we were ever given. Do you know what it was? Greenland.

[Secretary Marco Rubio @SecRubio]

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.

[Department of State @StateDept]

PRESIDENT TRUMP: When you add up the United States' oil and Venezuela's, we have over 50% of the world's oil. But think of it differently; we now have more than Saudi Arabia, Russia, and take the next largest country combined. Nobody even thought that was possible.

[Department of State @StateDept]

There is no human right to illegal immigration, but there is a right to remain a sovereign nation.

We want to remain a sovereign nation, and so should you.

G20 Foreign Ministers 🤝 @GatorsFB

[Department of State @StateDept]

In Atlanta, @SecRubio led @G20org countries back to their core mission: Drive economic growth and strengthen economic security.

The United States will continue leading these efforts with our partners in December at the G20 Leaders’ Summit in Miami, concluding our G20 presidency year with results and wins for the American people and the world.

[Department of State @StateDept]

A visa is a privilege, not a right. Under @SecRubio's leadership, we will continue to ensure that those who violate our laws are not permitted to remain in our country.

[Department of State @StateDept]

Under @SecRubio's leadership, the State Department has undertaken an unprecedented review of U.S. visa holders, resulting in the revocations of over 300,000 visas -- the most in American history.

[Department of State @StateDept]

In 2025, the Bureau of Consular Affairs established a Continuous Vetting Center in Washington, D.C., which revoked over 23,000 of these visas. Of these, the majority were revoked for criminal activity or other public safety concerns, including 25 percent for assault and related crimes, 22 percent for driving under the influence, 7 percent for theft, and 7 percent for substance abuse or distribution.
