The United States and the UK are at the forefront of a new era of technological leadership. Pax Silica brings together trusted nations to lead the Super Intelligence revolution, strengthen critical supply chains, and ensure our countries shape the technologies of tomorrow.
Consul General Hurtado was honored to join the community in Remembrance Day ceremonies this week, including the Royal Artillery Association’s Remembrance Sunday Service in St. George’s, and the commemoration and parade in Hamilton. We remember and honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms.
Lest We Forget. 🇺🇸🇧🇲
Harriet and I were proud to celebrate the 251st birthday of the U.S. Marine Corps this weekend with U.S. and UK military leaders. From even before our country’s founding, the U.S. Marines have served with extraordinary courage, discipline, and commitment, defending our nation and the cause of freedom.
Happy Birthday, Marines. Semper Fi!
This Veterans Day, I placed a cross on behalf of the United States at Westminster Abbey’s Field of Remembrance, and observed a moment of silence at the Tomb of the Unknown Warrior, to honor the Americans and Britons whose sacrifice forged a bond between our countries that endures to this day.
We will never forget.
Harriet and I enjoyed a thoughtful conversation with the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dame Sarah Mullally, about our shared commitment to religious freedom and the importance of protecting the right to practice one’s faith. I look forward to continuing our work together to affirm people of all faith traditions.
I was honored to attend Lloyd’s Remembrance Day service, remembering the brave men and women of the armed forces who paid the ultimate price defending freedom. As we mark Remembrance Sunday, we must ensure that the courage, service, and sacrifice of those who served the United States and the United Kingdom will never be forgotten.

A welcome coincidence that my first meeting with Prime Minister @AndyBurnham was on his 100th day. We discussed a wide range of topics including the economic benefits of Super Intelligence and the vital AUKUS initiative essential to global security to protect against our adversaries. I am encouraged by the PM’s commitment to the U.S.-UK partnership and his true belief in and full understanding of the special relationship between our countries. I look forward to working with him and his administration going forward.
From Yorkshire to Hollywood, Sir Patrick Stewart became an icon on both sides of the Atlantic. As Captain Picard reminded us: “What we leave behind is not as important as how we’ve lived.” His life touched millions around the world, and we join them in mourning his passing.
Powerful speech by @SecRubio in Athens yesterday. I recommend it to anyone who cares about the future of the West and ensuring the future of our shared U.S.-European heritage built on freedom, faith, courage, and the rule of law. As the Secretary noted, "We are at a crossroads. ... We will either choose to act now or lose the choice to act at all."
Three years ago today, Hamas terrorists unleashed unimaginable brutality against innocent Israelis. It was the deadliest attack on Jews since the Holocaust.
Since then, Jewish communities have faced hatred, intimidation, and violence on a scale we have not seen in generations.
We cannot be silent. We must confront antisemitism wherever it appears and hold accountable those who promote or perpetrate it. Jewish people must be able to live freely and safely, without fear.
We pray for the victims, their families, and the survivors. We stand with Israel. And we stand against antisemitism.
We had extra special guests in the building today – the Vince Lombardi Trophy and a few Super Bowl rings to keep it company! Will one of the teams playing in the @NFLUKIRE London Games take them home this season?! 🇬🇧🇺🇸🏈🏟️
These time capsules are a powerful symbol of 250 years of history, friendship, and shared sacrifice between our two great nations. Our joint values will continue to guide our partnership for generations to come.
Proud of the excellent collaboration with UK authorities on the situation near RAF Fairford. In the face of threats from hostile actors, our two countries are working together to keep our citizens safe, at home and abroad.
President Trump has made clear that international organizations must get back to basics and that U.S. participation in them must be aligned with America’s interests. With @IMOHQ, we are doing just that. A year ago, the IMO was considering a global tax that would have hurt American businesses. Today, we are making a historic contribution to reaffirm the safety, security, and freedom of the seas that sustain the global economy. I was happy to host Secretary-General Dominguez and colleagues last night to announce our new $5.4 million voluntary commitment, which will go a long way toward protecting global shipping, ports, and coastal trade against evolving threats, ensuring the IMO’s focus on its core work of bolstering maritime security globally.
Great to welcome Vice Admiral Richard Seif, Commander, U.S. Submarine Forces. We discussed the depth of the U.S.-UK defense partnership and the recent collaboration with our AUKUS allies in developing technologies which will provide greater undersea security and deterrence.
Peace. Prosperity. Primacy of Nations. These are the U.S. priorities at UNGA81 as we push the UN back to basics — accountable, effective, and focused on its core mission.
This is a historic milestone for the U.S., UK, and AUKUS. The @USNavy and @RoyalNavy successfully test launched an exercise U.S. Mk 48 torpedo from an unmanned UK undersea vehicle in Scotland. American and British technology and capabilities working together to deliver the interoperability that will make AUKUS a formidable alliance.
A warm and friendly first meeting between @POTUS@RealDonaldTrump and Prime Minister @andyburnham at the United Nations. From trade and energy to security and confronting shared threats, the U.S. and UK are working together on the world stage.
In the aftermath of 9/11, the British people joined us in mourning. We received thousands of letters and mementos at our embassy from people across the UK, and those tributes bear witness to the strong friendship between our nations. If you recognize any of these items or took the time to express your solidarity with us 25 years ago, we’d love to hear from you. Share and comment below.
