I had a productive call yesterday with Bilgassem Haftar, Director General of the Libya Development and Reconstruction Fund. Joined by LEO Chargé d'Affaires Jeremy Berndt, we emphasized the importance of finalizing a unified budget for 2026 to bolster Libya’s financial stability, safeguarding the value of the dinar and the purchasing power of the Libyan people, and enabling the implementation of development projects across Libya.  I also expressed our appreciation for the vital work undertaken by the Libya Development and Reconstruction Fund.

Today I was honored to address the Libya Energy and Economic Summit, and witness the signing of agreements by @ConocoPhillips to take their longstanding partnership with Libya to new heights and by @Chevron to resume cooperation with a country in which they have deep history and expertise. It was also great to see the many other U.S. companies present at the Summit.
