I'm honored to serve as Under Secretary for Arms Control & Int'l Security & grateful to @POTUS & @SecRubio for their confidence. Alongside the talented professionals of the bureaus and offices within my remit, I will faithfully execute @POTUS 's mission of achieving peace through strength. Stay tuned for updates on how we’re tackling the tough security challenges of the day.
Historic milestone for AUKUS. Today we announced our first Pillar II signature project: cutting-edge payloads and systems for UUVs, with delivery in 2027. This is how AUKUS delivers advanced capability at pace to meet challenges and strengthen deterrence in the Indo-Pacific. 🇺🇸🇦🇺🇬🇧 Joint Statement: https://t.co/NkULAUXLNa
Good to see DPM @RichardMarlesMP and Secretary @JohnHealey_MP for the AUKUS Defense Ministers’ Meeting.
At President Trump’s direction, we are moving “full steam ahead.”
Pleased to meet with Belgium's Director General for Multilateral Affairs, Veronique Petit, and Ambassador Frederic Bernard. We shared perspectives on counterterrorism, nuclear non-proliferation, artificial intelligence, and other ways we are coordinating to make our citizens safer. 🇺🇸🇧🇪
Constructive meeting yesterday with Poland's Deputy Minister of Defense, Pawel Bejda, Ambassador Bogdan Klich, and Attaché MG Krzysztof Nolbert, to discuss the America First Arms Transfer Strategy. 🇺🇸🇵🇱
The failure of States Parties to produce an agreed outcomes document from the 2026 NPT Review Conference is regrettable and alarming. Serial violators such as Iran must not be allowed to become a barrier to the functioning of this crucial international body. https://t.co/KSiFinNI9Q
Honored to bring a high-level American delegation to the 19th annual Lennart Meri Conference.
Under Secretary Thomas G. DiNanno:
“There’s 4 bilateral U.S. ambassadors here, and if that doesn’t tell you about U.S. commitment to the region, I don’t know what will. We are not going anywhere.”
Dziękuję wszystkim, którzy byli zaangażowani w ostatnią misję rządu @donaldtusk w USA oraz działania dyplomatyczne tutaj, w Polsce. W sprawach najważniejszych Prezydent, Premier, ministrowie i posłowie mówią jednym głosem.
Dziękuję administracji amerykańskiej i @realDonaldTrump za decyzję o zwiększeniu obecności wojskowej, a także wszystkim kongresmenom i senatorom, zarówno republikańskim, jak i demokratycznym, za wsparcie polskiej sprawy.
Dziękuję osobiście @UnderSecT oraz @RepMikeTurner a także Andrew Baker z Białego Domu oraz @emilmichael za całe wsparcie dla polskich spraw.
Niech żyje Polska! 🇵🇱
Costa Rica’s INL-supported Coast Guard interdicted two vessels in the Pacific and seized 3.3MT of cocaine in just 24 hours. This year, its Coast Guard has seized 24.5MT of illicit drugs--4x the amount seized during the same period in 2025. 🇺🇸🇨🇷 security cooperation helps to protect our shores and our communities.
To turn financial investments into military capabilities Europe must meet its 5% GDP commitments, resist protectionist & exclusionary barriers to expanding production, and implement NATO 3.0. 🇺🇸 🇷🇴
At #B9Summit@UnderSecT spoke of Europe's need to rebuild its defense industrial base, critical infrastructure, & supply chains. The Ankara Summit will be a test of NATO's ability to turn commitments into capabilities. 🇺🇸 🇷🇴
Le-am urat bun venit la București liderilor statelor membre B9, invitaților și prietenilor noștri nordici, Secretarului General al NATO și le-am mulțumit pentru prezență SUA și Ucrainei, care au participat ca observatori.
Dialogul nostru are loc într-un context internațional dinamic, cu două luni înainte de un moment important pentru noi toți, Summitul NATO de la Ankara. Organizarea reuniunii de astăzi la București, aproape de Ucraina, de Marea Neagră și în proximitatea amenințărilor ruse la adresa teritoriului aliat este cu atât mai semnificativă.
Scopul Summitului nostru este de a coagula o abordare unitară despre viitorul NATO. Pentru fiecare dintre țările noastre există o prioritate pentru propria securitate și există o prioritate pentru consolidarea securității transatlantice. De aceea, motto-ul acestei reuniuni este să oferim mai mult pentru securitatea transatlantică.
Pentru a ne îndeplini aceste obiective este necesar să creștem cheltuielile dedicate apărării, pe care trebuie să le transformăm în capabilități, să sporim contribuția aliaților europeni la NATO și să dezvoltăm împreună o bază industrială militară transatlantică solidă.
Întâlnirea de astăzi ne oferă oportunitatea de a vedea unde suntem în implementarea angajamentelor pe care ni le-am luat la Summitul NATO de la Haga și de a reafirma sprijinul nostru pentru Ucraina și Republica Moldova. De securitatea lor depinde securitatea noastră.

Important briefing yesterday by @ORLEN_Synthos, partnered with @GEVernova and @SGE_Nuclear, about their efforts to build small modular reactors to enhance Poland’s energy security.
Thank you @RKupiecki and @ZalewskiPawel for hosting my delegation for in-depth discussions on U.S.-Poland defense cooperation and how our countries work together in today's challenging geostrategic environment. 🇺🇸 🇵🇱
Yesterday, I met with @USChamber defense committee members in Poland to discuss EU defense protectionism, the America First Arms Transfer strategy, Foreign Military Sales reform, co-production, and defense innovation. 🇺🇸 🇵🇱
With INL support, these interceptor vessels were delivered to our partners in Ecuador to strengthen maritime security and confront transnational threats before they reach U.S. shores. 🇺🇸🇪🇨
All #NPT States Parties should be concerned with Iran’s flagrant violation of the treaty. To defend the foundation of the nonproliferation regime, all NPT States Parties should use the RevCon to defend the treaty and the safeguards system. The time is now, and the need is urgent.
On April 28, @StateACN Assistant Secretary Dr. Christopher Yeaw delivered the U.S. national statement to the #NPT Review Conference. Now is the time to ensure the NPT regime is prepared to face the challenges of today and those of tomorrow. https://t.co/VMACyJL9ri
His Majesty King Charles’s historic gift of the ship’s bell from the HMS Trump links the past to the future. HMS Trump served during World War II in the UK’s 4th Submarine Squadron based in Perth, Australia — the location of today’s Submarine Rotational Force - West. From Pacific War heroics to joint submarine rotations in the face of new challenges, the AUKUS bond is deeper than ever. @UKRoyalNavy_@Australian_Navy
