250 years of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness! Happy birthday, America!

On June 30, the U.S. Embassy in Vilnius celebrated America’s 250th Independence Day at the historic Palace of the Grand Dukes. Hosted by Ambassador Kara C.

From shared security and historic defense milestones to growing economic ties, the bond between the U.S. and Lithuania is stronger than ever.

Thank you, Lithuania, for standing with us on freedom’s frontline. Here’s to the next 250 years of liberty, innovation, and prosperity together!

Už Ameriką. Už Lietuvą. Už laisvę!

The USS Mount Whitney’s visit to Klaipėda is both a celebration of our shared history of freedom during this milestone year and a clear signal of American presence and resolve.” – Ambassador Kara C. McDonald

This week’s @USNATO Huddle discusses how #AnkaraSummit26 will be Allies’ first report card on their progress from last year’s 5% Hague Defense Commitment – and how they are turning this commitment into increased capabilities.

[Ambassador Andrew Puzder @USAmbEU]

🇺🇸🇪🇺 What a moment!

Today, the @EUCouncil approved EU tariff commitments under the Turnberry Agreement and opened a new chapter in U.S.-EU relations. President @vonderleyen and everyone who worked tirelessly to get us here: thank you. Delivering on Turnberry has been one of @POTUS President Trump's highest priorities. Today, we're delivering together.

The work isn't finished. Next, the part that matters most - the EU's swift action on the remaining Turnberry commitments, eliminating non-tariff trade barriers, and strengthening our economic security cooperation. The framework is set. Let's build the future.

[Senior Official Jeremy Lewin @UnderSecretaryF]

The @StateDept has already mobilized a disaster assistance team and task force to deliver and coordinate critical assistance to the Venezuelan people. Working with our partners in the interim Venezuelan government, the U.S. will be sending search and rescue teams, medical and humanitarian supplies and other resources in the crucial first days after this tragic natural disaster.

[Secretary Marco Rubio @SecRubio]

The United States extends our deepest condolences to the people of Venezuela following the devastating earthquakes.

Our hearts are with all those who have lost loved ones, those injured, and the courageous rescue workers working tirelessly in the aftermath.

America stands with the Venezuelan people during this difficult time and at the direction of President Trump, the State Department is immediately deploying search and rescue teams, medical resources, and humanitarian assistance to Venezuela.
