President Trump announces that American citizen and former U.S. Marine Robert Gilman is finally coming home after more than four years of imprisonment in Russia, where he was detained in 2022 under the Biden administration.
"After my discussions with President Vladimir Putin, Russia has agreed to release him, very much on a Humanitarian Basis. We appreciate this decision, and the fact that Russia asked for no one in return — No exchange took place. Robert will land at Andrews Air Force Base, in Washington, D.C., tonight, where my Representatives, some of whom are on the plane with him, will welcome Robert back to THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA! I just spoke to him, and he had one request — A GREAT cheeseburger when he lands. I will take care of that!" - President Donald J. Trump
GOD BLESS AMERICA!
After years of unjust imprisonment for challenging the Marxist tyranny of the Cuban regime, Luis Manuel Otero Alcántara has arrived in the United States. The Cuban government's brutal crackdown against its own people five years ago is yet another reminder of the unique misery and evil that is innate to the communist system. We continue to demand the immediate release of all political prisoners held by the Cuban regime. https://t.co/RrafNELtS1
Joint Statement by Members of the Shield of the Americas
The text of the following statement was released by the Governments of the United States of America, Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guyana, Honduras, Panama, Paraguay, and Trinidad and Tobago.
We observe with deep concern the recent statements and actions that, without duly substantiated grounds, cast doubt on the integrity of the electoral process in the Republic of Colombia and generate uncertainty regarding the normal course of the institutional transition.
In every constitutional democracy, the sovereign will of the citizens — freely expressed at the ballot box and formalized by the competent electoral authorities — constitutes the sole foundation of the legitimacy of public power. Disregarding the results officially proclaimed by said authorities constitutes a serious disregard for the popular will and for the principles that underpin the Rule of Law.
We reject any action, statement, or decision that seeks to delegitimize the mandate conferred by the citizens, to discredit without basis the competent electoral authorities, or to obstruct the institutional transition, known in Colombia as the empalme process.
The transition between governments does not constitute a political concession, but rather a constitutional and institutional duty designed to guarantee the continuity of the State, democratic stability, and the effective fulfillment of the popular will.
We issue a firm call to all Colombian authorities to act in strict adherence to the Constitution, the law, and democratic principles; to respect the results officially proclaimed by the competent electoral authorities; and to guarantee a peaceful, orderly, and transparent transition, in accordance with the highest standards of the Rule of Law.
Laotian national Tou Lue Vang was convicted of sexually abusing a 10-year-old girl in Minnesota.
He was set to be deported until @GovTimWalz issued him a pardon.
Then, I revoked his legal status. @ICEgov has removed him from the U.S. and he will never endanger another American.
Just spoke to Colombian President-Elect @ABDELAESPRIELLA to congratulate him on his electoral victory.
The Trump Administration looks forward to working closely with your incoming administration to advance regional security cooperation, end illegal immigration to the United States, and strengthen our economic ties.
Colombia's best days are ahead.
The State Department is publicly restating the United States' generous offer to provide additional direct humanitarian assistance to the Cuban people.
The Cuban regime must decide whether to accept our offer or deny life-saving help for the Cuban people, who desperately need it.
📍Miami International Airport: "That's something you haven’t seen up on the board for the past 7 years—Caracas, Venezuela."
A symbol of "how much has changed in Venezuela over the past 117 days since Nicolás Maduro was taken by U.S. forces."
Honored to be officially named the State Department Spokesperson. Under the leadership of @SecRubio, I will continue to give you the latest updates on how the State Department is advancing President Trump's America First foreign policy.
New handle, same mission. 🇺🇸
A visa is a privilege, not a right. The bottom line is we are not going to allow people here on visas who break our laws and who threaten our national security. Visa security is border security.
En la mañana del 14 de marzo de 2019, la bandera estadounidense fue arriada por última vez en la Embajada de los Estados Unidos en Caracas. Esta mañana, 14 de marzo de 2026, a la misma hora, mi equipo y yo izamos la bandera de los Estados Unidos—exactamente siete años después de haber sido retirada.
Ha comenzado una nueva era para las relaciones entre los Estados Unidos y Venezuela.
Seguimos con Venezuela. – LFD
