The United States and India signed a bilateral Critical Minerals Framework, marking a milestone in the strategic partnership between the U.S. and India. This sets us on a path toward reliable & resilient mineral supply chains, reinforcing key objectives established by @POTUS.
Congratulations to Prime Minister Narendra Modi on becoming India’s longest-serving elected Prime Minister. This achievement is a powerful testament to his decades of dedicated public service and leadership! Wishing him all the best!
I very much appreciate President Trump’s desire to end the Iranian conflict with a diplomatic solution that is real and sustainable.
I have complete confidence in President Trump and his team to achieve this shared goal.
However, the biggest news out of the cabinet meeting is President Trump’s determination to expand the Abraham Accords, to include Saudia Arabia making peace with Isreal. This would be the biggest change in the Middle East in thousands of years, effectively ending the Arab-Israeli conflict. I am convinced that President Trump -- above all others -- has the ability to make this happen. He has been a good, reliable partner to Saudi Arabia and the Crown Prince, and no one has been a better friend of Israel than President Trump.
I have been working on normalization for years, including during the Biden administration, because I know this leads to a lasting peace and a new Middle East that could become an economic powerhouse, not a powder keg.
I will do everything in my power, working in a bipartisan fashion, to help President Trump achieve peace between Saudi Arabia and Israel.
Today, @DrSJaishankar and I signed a bilateral Critical Minerals Framework, marking a milestone in the strategic partnership between the U.S. and India.
This sets us on a path toward reliable & resilient mineral supply chains, reinforcing key objectives established by @POTUS.
It was an absolute honor to host my friend @SecRubio in India for the past four days! We held productive meetings with Prime Minister Modi, External Affairs Minister Dr. Jaishankar, and NSA Doval. We traveled through Kolkata, New Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur, celebrated America’s 250th birthday, and capped the visit with a highly successful Quad meeting. America’s foreign policy is in outstanding hands with Secretary Marco Rubio at the helm!
Quad Foreign Ministers’ Meeting delivers strong, concrete results. From enhanced maritime security to new initiatives on maritime security, port infrastructure, critical minerals, and energy resilience - here are the top deliverables from this round of Quad cooperation. Thread below. #QuadFMM
*Maritime Security*
The Quad Foreign Ministers’ Meeting advanced major maritime security initiatives. New initiatives on maritime surveillance, domain awareness, and coast guard coordination will strengthen regional security, improve information-sharing, and support a free and open Indo-Pacific. #QuadFMM
*Port Infrastructure*
A big step for Pacific Islands! Quad partners will collaborate with Fiji to advance critical port infrastructure - the first joint Quad project of its kind in the region. #QuadFMM
*Critical Minerals Deliverable*
Quad partners announce the Critical Minerals Framework! The Framework will strengthen critical mineral supply chains in mining, processing, and recycling. Coordination across the Quad helps reduce vulnerabilities and supports long-term economic security. #QuadFMM
*Energy and Fuel Security*
Energy security is national security. The Quad’s new Indo-Pacific Energy Security Initiative expands cooperation on technology, energy resilience, and emergency preparedness to support a more stable and secure region. @ENERGY to host a dedicated Quad Fuel Security Forum later this year. #QuadFMM
A highly productive Quad Foreign Ministers’ Meeting in New Delhi today alongside @SecRubio, @DrSJaishankar, @SenatorWong, and @MofaJapan_en FM Motegi.

The Quad remains a vital force for good and will continue to deliver new initiatives addressing the region’s most pressing challenges. 🇺🇸🇮🇳🇦🇺🇯🇵

Ladakh has not achieved everything yet. This is a beginning, but more importantly, the region's approach is pragmatic and driven by a thinking, united leadership. J&K needs to learn.
Had an excellent discussion with Honorable Finance Minister @nsitharaman on advancing the U.S.-India economic partnership. From trade and investment to technology, defense, and critical minerals, our two democracies achieve more when we work together. Looking forward to restarting the U.S.-India Economic and Financial Partnership dialogue soon!
The U.S. Embassy in India looks forward to welcoming @SecRubio for his first visit to India, ministerial Quad meetings, high level engagements, and celebrating 250 years of America.
