SECRETARY RUBIO: "We can't be spending money on social experiments around the world that further the aims of an ideological movement in the United States."
SECRETARY RUBIO: "We actually struck a pretty good deal with them, in which we can ensure that our money will be spent in a way that furthers our national interests, and not go to fund the NGO industrial complex."
SECRETARY RUBIO: "Rather than force a bunch of NGOs from Northern Virginia on you, we are going to work with you, and give the money government-to-government."
¡Felicitaciones al Candidato Presidencial Colombiano, “El Tigre (THE TIGER)”, Abelardo de la Espriella, un Líder Inteligente, Fuerte y Duro, por su decisiva Victoria en la primera vuelta de la Elección Presidencial Colombiana!
Abelardo lucha incansablemente por, y ama a, su Gran País y Pueblo, tal como yo lo hago por los Estados Unidos de América. ¡Como Presidente, Abelardo tendría un éxito tremendo liderando a Colombia para Hacer Crecer la Economía, Crear Empleos, Promover el Comercio, Detener la Inmigración Ilegal, Combatir el Crimen y las Drogas, y Restaurar la LEY Y EL ORDEN!
Abelardo se enfrentará a un Marxista de Izquierda Radical en la Segunda Vuelta el 21 de junio — Los resultados de esta Elección son muy importantes para el futuro de Colombia y su relación con los Estados Unidos.
Debido a sus tremendos logros en la vida, y su apoyo político para mí, personalmente, es mi Honor darle a Abelardo mi Completo y Total Respaldo. ¡ “EL TIGRE” ABELARDO DE LA ESPRIELLA NO LE FALLARÁ AL MARAVILLOSO PUEBLO DE COLOMBIA!
Presidente DONALD J. Trump

SECRETARY RUBIO: "Cuba has sponsored terrorism. For example, virtually every left-wing, radical, violent terrorist group in the Western Hemisphere has at some point relied on support from Cuba."
SECRETARY RUBIO: "We now have in this hemisphere, a coalition of friendly countries, over a dozen, who have aligned to work on not just the issues of security that we all have in common, but also economic prosperity that goes hand in hand."
We are grateful for the continued partnership with @ifrc on the Ebola response in DRC, whose staff put themselves in harm’s way each day to help deliver care and contain the virus. We are proud to provide financial support and our disaster and embassy teams continue to coordinate closely on the ground.
It was a pleasure to meet H.E. Ian McCary, charge d’affaires, @usembassydrc. @StateDept@UnderSecretaryF are providing highly needed assistance to #ebola outbreak in #DRC. @ifrc is working closely with them on bringing the needed resources to communities to end the outbreak.
Congratulations to A/S Cate Dillon! Cate has been an invaluable part of and @SecRubio’s team @StateDept since day one and critical driver of President Trump’s America First agenda. At @ECA_AS, Cate will no doubt lead with grace and be a powerful ambassador for American culture, values and excellence as our nation celebrates its 250th birthday.
In advance of next month’s World Cup, The United States, Mexico, and Canada have announced aligned public health travel measures for individuals coming from African regions at greatest risk from the Ebola virus. Americans and visitors should remain confident that President Trump and his Administration are taking ever step to contain the Ebola virus in Africa and prevent it from coming to the United States.

Grateful to the @StateDept for their trust and funding to IOM’s Ebola response.
With their rapid support for global health security, IOM is scaling up health screening, surveillance and preparedness at critical borders and regional Points of Entry. https://t.co/Y6K7owYd1v
We are grateful to our partner @SamaritansPurse’s continued leadership at the frontlines of the Ebola outbreak in the DRC and so many other crises. They make our nation very proud. The United States recently signed a new global response partnership with Samaritan’s Purse and is finalizing an initial $3 million contribution for their work on Ebola in DRC. May god bless and protect those heading to the frontline.
.@SamaritansPurse is sending a specialized team to the Democratic Republic of the Congo in response to the Ebola crisis. We are also airlifting an Ebola Treatment Center and supplies including personal protective equipment (PPE) and other needed items. The 767 is scheduled to depart our Greensboro NC Airlift Response Center on Sunday morning. Pray for the people of this region and our team as we go to help in Jesus’ Name.
The United States continues to work closely with @UN and @UNReliefChief on the response to the Ebola outbreak in the DRC. @StateDept is pleased to contribute an immediate $50 million towards the response emergency fund.
Plus, our recently announced second tranche of funding to @UNOCHA’s pooled funds includes $300 million in broader lifesaving funding for the DRC and Uganda—which will be critical for scaling up infrastructure and ensuring a holistic humanitarian response.
Ebola: UN allocates $60 million from emergency response fund to fight deadly outbreak affecting the Democratic Republic of the Congo & the wider region.
Resources being directed toward contact tracing, establishment of treatment centres, community engagement & more.
Adys Lastres Morera is the sister of the Executive President of GAESA, the Cuban military-controlled financial conglomerate that steals millions in aid for the Cuban people at the behest of the regime.
Morera was managing real estate assets and living in Florida, while also aiding Havana's communist regime, until I terminated her permanent resident status.
I am pleased to announce that today, she was arrested and is now in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
There will be nowhere on this Earth - much less in our country - where foreign nationals who threaten our national security can live lavishly.
Under President Trump and @SecRubio: “There will be nowhere on this Earth - much less in our country - where foreign nationals who threaten our national security can live lavishly.” 🔥

SECRETARY RUBIO: The economic changes the Cuban regime talks about are cosmetic in nature. They’re not real because that’s what they’ve gotten used to all these years - buying time and waiting us out.
They won’t be able to do that anymore. We’re very serious about this.
.@SecRubio lays out the Trump Administration's position on Cuba: It's 90 miles from our shores, so we'll be impacted by the migratory crisis, by any violence and instability. It directly implicates U.S. national interests. The future of Cuba belongs to the people of Cuba, but the national security threat is 100% something we're going to focus on — because that's about America.
