Productive meeting with Ukrainian Foreign Minister @Andrii_Sybiha. We discussed ongoing negotiations to end the Russia-Ukraine war, energy resilience, and defense cooperation.

The United States remains focused on achieving a durable and lasting peace.

[Secretary Marco Rubio @SecRubio]

Met with German Foreign Minister @AussenMinDE to discuss securing freedom of navigation, strengthening defense cooperation, and deepening our trade relationship.

Our partnership with Germany is important to transatlantic peace and security.

[Secretary Marco Rubio @SecRubio]

We remain focused on addressing threats to regional stability and working with our partners to confront ongoing security and humanitarian challenges around the world.

In discussions at the G7, I emphasized the need for UN agencies to eliminate wasteful bureaucracy and make humanitarian aid more efficient. Our assistance must remain temporary, targeted, and accountable.

[Secretary Marco Rubio @SecRubio]

Innovation is driving the Super Intelligence era.

Today at G7, I emphasized how President Trump’s innovation-first approach is keeping American developers at the forefront of this technology, strengthening our prosperity and national security.

G7 countries have a shared interest in protecting frontier models against extraction and misuse.

We need industry-led partnerships, not more regulation and unnecessary red tape. The goal is security and opportunity for the American people and for our partners.

Am 9. November gedenken wir der von den Nationalsozialisten organisierten Gewalt von 1938, die als „Pogromnacht“ bekannt ist und zynischerweise wegen der Glasscherben, die die deutschen Straßen bedeckten, als „Kristallnacht“ bezeichnet wird. Jüdische Wohnhäuser, Geschäfte und Synagogen wurden angegriffen.

Angesichts des weiter zunehmenden Antisemitismus gedenken wir der Opfer der nationalsozialistischen Gräueltaten und bekräftigen unser Engagement für die Aufklärung über den Holocaust und den Kampf gegen den Antisemitismus in der heutigen Zeit.#NeverForget

[Secretary Marco Rubio @SecRubio]

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.

[Secretary Marco Rubio @SecRubio]

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.

[Ambassador Andrew Puzder @USAmbEU]

With a hard winter approaching and energy prices still painfully high – as even Energy Commissioner Jørgensen has warned—the Commission’s handling of the EU Methane Regulation (#EUMR) has failed to deliver the relief the moment requires.

In June, the Commission acknowledged the threat the EUMR posed by announcing a three-year penalty holiday intended to prevent the EUMR from tightening supply and pushing prices higher once it took effect. But it has not worked. A temporary pause on fines does not remove the legal requirement for companies to comply with the legislation – and no publicly owned and traded company will knowingly break EU law even if there is no fear of a penalty.  Absent a proper delay in the regulation’s implementation – so companies are not in breach of EU law – the risk that the EUMR will drive tighter supply and higher prices remains.

So, in September, the Commission proposed a one-year implementation delay – again acknowledging the EUMR’s threat to energy supplies and pricing. But one year is too short to fix the problem. One extra year will not give companies and regulators enough time to build verification systems, bring suppliers into compliance, or lock in multi-year contracts at competitive prices. The EUMR still discourages energy imports and the longer-term deals that stabilize supply. This will keep the market tighter – and more expensive – than necessary heading into this winter and beyond.

Industry has been consistent: a three-year delay is required to put robust compliance and verification systems in place, achieve supplier compliance, and ensure reliable volumes.  Industry is not asking to repeal the regulation. It is just seeking a three-year delay which is long enough to address the EUMR’s regulatory issues. Do not punish European energy suppliers and consumers because the original regulation was poorly written.

The European Parliament recognized this reality by backing a three-year postponement of key importer obligations. If the Commission is willing to waive EUMR penalties for three years, why not also delay implementation for three years and actually solve the problem as Parliament proposes? The solution is simple – the penalty delay and implementation delay should be the same length – three years. We hope the Council will follow Parliament’s example.

Europe needs practical regulatory timelines that protect both energy supply and affordability. Half-measures that leave Europe’s households and industries exposed are not a solution.

[U.S. Mission to the UN @USUN]

The International Criminal Court’s ongoing actions set a dangerous precedent, threaten to infringe on the principle of state sovereignty, and undermine our critical national security and foreign policy work.

The United States votes NO on the General Assembly’s resolution on the ICC annual report and encourages others to do the same. @AmbUNReform

[Juan Pablo Segura @WHAAsstSecty]

We thank the German government for its generous contributions to the Gang Suppression Force in Haiti. The airlift of over 600 tons of priority equipment from Bangladesh enables significant security gains in shared efforts to restore stability to the Haitian people.

[Secretary Marco Rubio @SecRubio]

Happy to introduce my fellow foreign ministers to the quintessential American sport of football and welcome them to #GatorNation.

A strong defense industrial base ensures NATO's deterrence is backed by the weapons, equipment, and capabilities needed to defend the one billion people living within Alliance territory.

John Adams – Vizepräsident, Präsident und entschiedener Verfechter von Freiheit und Unabhängigkeit – wurde am heutigen Tag im Jahr 1735 geboren. Seine Überzeugung, dass eine wahre Republik eine Regierung der Gesetze und nicht der Menschen sein muss, ist bis heute das Fundament des amerikanischen Systems. #Freedom250

[US-Botschaft Berlin @usbotschaft]

From October 30-31, @SecRubio will host G20 foreign ministers in Atlanta to jointly tackle threats to freedom of navigation, food and energy security, and global supply chains. Under President Trump's leadership, we are getting the @g20org back to its core mission: Drive real economic growth and prosperity.

Über Jahrzehnte hinweg lehnten sowohl Republikaner als auch Demokraten die Vorstellung ab, dass der Internationale Strafgerichtshof (IStGH) befugt sei, amerikanische Staatsbürger, US-Streitkräfte oder politische Führungspersönlichkeiten strafrechtlich zu verfolgen.

Die Vereinigten Staaten sind dem Gerichtshof nie beigetreten.

Unsere Botschaft ist eindeutig: Die Vereinigten Staaten und ihre Bevölkerung unterliegen nicht der Gerichtsbarkeit des IStGH.

Wir erwarten von unseren Verbündeten, von denen viele dem IStGH angehören und für ihre Verteidigung auf Angehörige der US-Streitkräfte angewiesen sind, dass sie den Gerichtshof in seine Schranken weisen.
