Honored to host a farewell lunch today celebrating the remarkable career of @Smithsonian Secretary Lonnie Bunch ahead of his retirement.

Let’s advance cardiovascular research and protect future generations together. 🇳🇱🇺🇸

[Netherlands Embassy in the US 🇳🇱🇺🇸 @NLintheUSA]

Did you know that a rare genetic heart mutation affecting families worldwide can be traced back to a single Frisian ancestor who lived 700 years ago?

The PLN genetic mutation alters the heart’s ability to regulate calcium, which can lead to heart failure or sudden cardiac death.

[Netherlands Embassy in the US 🇳🇱🇺🇸 @NLintheUSA]

How to get involved:
🔹 Learn more about genetic testing and register with the carrier network at https://t.co/l0GWd5sk7R
🔹 If you are in Michigan, the foundation is hosting an evening of connection and education from 6–9 p.m. Nov. 18 at the Hyatt Place Grand Rapids Downtown.

Lest we forget.

KingdomNL joined the Commonwealth Remembrance Day ceremony, remembering those who gave their lives.

The sacrifices of the World Wars remind us why the UN was founded: to save future generations from the horrors of war and to build a world of peace and security.

Great meeting yesterday with @GovAndyBeshear of Kentucky to discuss expanding economic opportunities between the Bluegrass State and the Netherlands, as well as the importance of our #transatlantic security partnership.

[Birgitta Tazelaar @NLAmbassadorUSA]

Happy #VeteransDay to all veterans! Thank you for your service and dedication.

Our strength relies on enduring alliances. For decades, American & Dutch troops have stood shoulder-to-shoulder through @NATO to defend our shared freedom and security. 🇳🇱🤝🇺🇸

[Tom Berendsen @ministerBZ]

International law provides common ground, also when States disagree.

Today, at the @PeacePalace, seat of the @CIJ_ICJ, I reaffirmed the Netherlands’ commitment to advancing peace through law and promoting the international legal order through dialogue and cooperation.🎥⤵️

[Birgitta Tazelaar @NLAmbassadorUSA]

Congratulations, @peggyflanagan, on your Senate election! Best wishes ahead. Remembering our conversation at the DNC two years ago, I look forward to our continued engagement and to further strengthening the partnership between the NL and Minn., and between our two countries 🇳🇱🇺🇸

[Birgitta Tazelaar @NLAmbassadorUSA]

Honored to visit @UABHeersink last week to speak on the future of AI & precision medicine.
Every year, millions hear the words "you have cancer," a moment that changes everything for patients and their families.
We must innovate to change what comes next. 🇳🇱🇺🇸

[Birgitta Tazelaar @NLAmbassadorUSA]

Today we celebrate the birthday of John Adams, a true pioneer of the enduring friendship between the Netherlands & the United States.🇳🇱🇺🇸

In 1782, Adams secured Dutch recognition of American independence & opened our first diplomatic channel, laying a bedrock of shared values.

Another “bulletproof” hosting service taken offline! The takedown of Virtualine shows the multilateral and bilateral work the Netherlands is doing with the @FBIWFO to keep our cyber realm safe.

[U.S. Attorney EDVA @EDVAnews]

The website Virtualine was seized after being used for prolific criminal activity, including advertising sexually explicit images of minors, disclosure of nonconsensual intimate visual depictions, and international money laundering.

Oekraïne verdedigt zich al jaren met alles wat het heeft tegen de Russische agressie. Niet alleen voor de eigen vrijheid en veiligheid, maar ook voor die van de rest van Europa.

Op het Catshuis in Den Haag ontving ik president @ZelenskyyUa, samen met de @DefensieMin Yeşilgöz-Zegerius en @ministerBZ Berendsen om te spreken over wat Oekraïne nu het hardst nodig heeft. Hierbij sloot @ministerBHOS Sjoerdsma vanuit Kiev digitaal aan.

Rusland voert de aanvallen op burgers en kritieke infrastructuur verder op, juist nu de winter nadert. Daarom breidt het kabinet de steun uit: met een militair wintersteunpakket met onder meer luchtverdediging en drones én met een meerjarig pakket voor energie, drinkwater en gezondheidszorg.

Ik roep alle bondgenoten op om ook hun verantwoordelijkheid te nemen. Want er is meer nodig, juist nu. Op Nederland kan Oekraïne blijven rekenen.

[Netherlands Embassy in the US 🇳🇱🇺🇸 @NLintheUSA]

We are proud to celebrate Dutch food expert Dr. Huub Lelieveld, honored as the 2026 World Food Prize Laureate! 🏆

#KingdomNL Perm. Rep and Consul General briefed history and social studies teachers. Their visit to the United States was organized by the Atlantische Commissie and included an exchange of perspectives on the UN and matters relevant to the Consulate, such as #dutchcultureUSA.

[Metro ATL Chamber @atlchamber]

Strengthening International ties. Building global opportunity. 🌎

The Metro Atlanta Chamber welcomed EU Ambassador to the U.S. Jovita Neliupšienė (@EUAmbUS) and ambassadors from nearly 15 EU member states for a conversation about strengthening the U.S.-Europe economic relationship. As Ireland currently holds the EU Council Presidency, Irish Ambassador Geraldine Byrne Nason (@IrelandAmbUSA) joined Katie Kirkpatrick and Ambassador Neliupšienė for a panel discussion about metro Atlanta's role in transatlantic economic activities.

While in Atlanta, the visiting dignitaries also met with @GovKemp, visited @CocaColaCo headquarters, and called on Mayor @andreforatlanta as they work to reinforce the strong and diverse ties between Europe and Georgia.
