Your phone. Your GPS. Even your coffee maker. All powered by computer chips pioneered by American companies.
Modern technology didn't happen by accident - it took U.S. investment in R&D, a thriving private sector, and an innovative spirit that's uniquely American. That spirit is alive today.
As we head into the #AIforGood Summit, we're proud to celebrate 250 years of American innovation that continues to shape the world. #Freedom250
X Delighted to host students from @BU_Tweets! Diplomats from economic affairs, public affairs, and the Conference on Disarmament discussed how strong communications skills—and embracing new tools like AI—help diplomats serve our country and the American people.
Yesterday, I spoke at the @pssi_prague. Some excerpts from my remarks: "Since the Trump Administration began its second term last year, the United States has unleashed American industry and ingenuity to advance an America First space policy - one that extends the reach of human discovery, secures vital national and economic security interests, accelerates commercial development, and lays the foundation for renewed American leadership in a new space age." (1/3)
"... In the face of mounting threats, some voices call for treaties prohibiting the placement of weapons in outer space. These voices - often from nations that do not share our values - decry what they call the growing risks of turning outer space into a springboard for aggression and war. This sounds noble. It is dangerously naive." (2/3)
"We will not be unilaterally constrained. We seek practical steps to reduce the risk of conflict in space. We seek transparency. We seek to avoid reckless behavior. We seek behavior-based approaches to stability: observable, confirmable, and conducive to the security of the United States and our allies." (3/3)
The U.S. announced more than $1 billion in humanitarian and disaster response assistance to @UNICEF and the @WFP through new global macro awards, which cover life-saving support in more than 40 countries. This announcement builds directly on the tremendous success of the Trump Administration’s landmark December 2025 “Humanitarian Reset” MOU with @UNOCHA.

The U.S. creative industries are an economic powerhouse. Behind the music are songwriters, engineers, marketers, and countless others across production, distribution, and technology. The music industry is a workforce—and a thriving one.
Strong copyright protections make this possible, turning creativity into careers and innovation into opportunity.
We are ensuring UNICEF stays focused on its core mandate so it can deliver extraordinary results for children. We need to focus on outcomes -- not bureaucracy. Humanitarian aid isn't aid unless it's accountable and effective. @AmbUNReform
Today @USAmbUN Ambassador Waltz hosted key African Representatives to the UN at the U.S. Mission to discuss the future of global connectivity.
The U.S. is proud to champion Doreen Bogdan-Martin for re-election as @ITU Sec-Gen, along with Jennifer Warren for the RRB, and our bid for the ITU Council.
Most Americans have never heard of the ITU.
But its rules affect the phones in their pockets, the satellites over their farms, the factories they work in, and the future of AI.
Today we hosted African missions because they get the stakes: America must lead, or China will.
We’re backing strong U.S. candidates to keep the digital future free, fair, secure, and open for business.
"If the Iranians are behaving like a normal country and if they make their country investable, then the Gulf Arab states may decide to invest in that country...Not a single dime of that money comes from the United States." — VP Vance🇺🇸
“We are putting the UN on a diet and we are pushing the institution to do less better instead of trying to be everything to everyone.” -@USAmbUN Waltz

The U.S. Department of State and @Starlink signed an MOU to enhance international disaster preparedness and U.S. humanitarian response efforts worldwide.
This cooperation harnesses reliable connectivity to support disaster response teams and help save lives. In recent months, Starlink has delivered connectivity to communities impacted by the Ebola outbreak.

Representing 🇺🇸 at the #G7 Labor & Employment Ministers’ Meeting in Geneva, Acting @USDOL Secretary @Sonderling47 delivered a clear message: America will stand up for its workers, defend fair competition, & ensure a level playing field for U.S. businesses. Watch his full remarks
Proud to support @DoreenBogdan's reelection as ITU Secretary-General. She's delivered results and earned another term. Under her leadership, the ITU has advanced secure connectivity and pushed digital transformation forward — reaching communities that have long been left behind. We made that case to EU Member State Missions here in Brussels. The U.S. is also backing Jennifer Warren for the Radio Regulations Board and our own reelection to the ITU Council. The U.S. is committed to helping build a strong International Telecommunication Union that connects the world. Connectivity drives opportunity. Digital transformation fuels growth. Good governance at the @ITU matters — for connectivity, for innovation, and for everyone.
CERN (the European Organization for Nuclear Research) is a European organization, to which the United States is an Observer and has made substantial multi-billion dollar investments over the years. @CERN operates the world's largest particle physics laboratory. Located on the Swiss-French border near Geneva, it uses massive, complex scientific instruments to accelerate subatomic particles to nearly the speed of light and smash them together to reveal the universe's fundamental building blocks.
U.S. participation yields great returns for the U.S. Economy, Energy, and Research. DAS Mills along with Dr. Christine Bertz, and Peri Farbstein participated in this visit to CERN.
CdA Finerty welcomed Acting @USDOL Secretary @Sonderling47 to Geneva as head of the U.S. delegation to the #G7 Labor and Employment Ministers’ Meeting. The U.S. is committed to championing workforce development, apprenticeships, and #AI readiness.
The @National Intellectual Property Rights Coordination Center and @WIPO signed an MOU to strengthen IP enforcement. Protecting the rights of American businesses, innovators, and creators drives economic growth and is a priority for the 🇺🇸.
The U.S. has announced more than $240 million in humanitarian and disaster response assistance to @CatholicRelief (CRS).
This funding will support the rapid delivery of life-saving aid to people affected by crises worldwide, helping ensure assistance reaches those in need quickly, efficiently, and accountably.
