U.S. Mission to NATO

[U.S. Ambassador to NATO @USAmbNATO]

Great to join @SecGenNATO Mark Rutte at @NATO to address an audience from across the U.S. defense, industrial, and technology communities, emphasizing that their role is central to turning Allied strategy and investment into actual readiness.
Our shared security is only as powerful as the speed of our defense industrial base. We must restore our industrial might and secure peace through strength for generations to come.

[U.S. Mission to NATO @USNATO]

Our defense industrial base must move at the speed of relevance. Faster industrial collaboration across the @NATO Alliance is essential to meet the moment. Yesterday, in The Hague 🇳🇱, dozens of U.S. defense industry leaders continued #TDIAF2026, discussing industrial scaling and procurement procedures.

Removing the barriers to achieving an agile, accountable defense ecosystem – cutting red tape, empowering leaders, and providing stable, long-term contracts – allows industry to invest, expand, and promptly deliver the right tools to warfighters.

Feliz Dia de Portugal! 🇵🇹🇺🇸

As a committed NATO Ally, Portugal plays a vital role in transatlantic security. Together, we are expanding our economic and defense cooperation to meet threats of today and tomorrow.

[U.S. Mission to NATO @USNATO]

The strength of the United States, and our @NATO Allies, is not just in our military. It’s also in the ingenuity, speed, and scale of our defense industry that enables America’s warfighters. The #TDIAF2026 kicked off yesterday in Munich, Germany 🇩🇪.

Monday was focused on creating partnerships that work. How do we bring private sector cutting-edge tech onto today’s battlefield as quickly as possible? By connecting American defense leaders with European Allies’ industry leaders. Now is the time to act – our militaries deserve the best.

[U.S. Mission to NATO @USNATO]

Excited to kick off the 2026 Transatlantic Defense Industry Access Forum!

🔹50+ 🇺🇸 American defense, tech, and business companies
🔹80+ German, 40+ Luxembourg, 130+ Belgian, and 100+ Dutch attendees
🔹4 days
🔹4 European countries 🇩🇪🇱🇺🇧🇪🇳🇱
🔹To promote build connections and promote the incredible capabilities of the transatlantic defense industrial base

Led by @USAmbNATO Matthew Whitaker, in support of @ExportGov, we’re bringing American defense companies to Europe to connect directly with transatlantic partners. These connections will strengthen the defense industrial base on both sides of the Atlantic. #TDIAF2026

The Trump Administration is focused on protecting our nation and our citizens by upholding the highest standards of national security and public safety through our visa process. A U.S. visa is a privilege, not a right. Every visa adjudication is a national security decision.

[U.S. Ambassador to NATO @USAmbNATO]

Honored to have joined Secretary Hegseth and other senior leaders to remember and reflect upon the sacrifices of those who fought and died in Normandy to defend the free world.

[U.S. Mission to NATO @USNATO]

During Dynamic Mongoose 26, Allied troops trained for undersea warfare in the High North. Nine Allies tested advanced anti-submarine skills. This exercise shows how Allies can cooperate and learn real capabilities from each other.

[U.S. Ambassador to NATO @USAmbNATO]

At last year’s NATO Summit, all Allies signed onto the historic Hague Defense Commitment. At next month’s NATO Summit in Ankara, we’ll see how much progress they have made in converting that commitment into real defensive capabilities.

Buona Festa della Repubblica! 🇮🇹🇺🇸
The U.S. celebrates Italy, a key NATO Ally. We applaud Italy’s commitment as we push European Allies to raise defense spending to 5% of GDP. The U.S.-Italy relationship is vital to building a resilient, secure future.

[U.S. Mission to NATO @USNATO]

Exercise Trojan Footprint 26 Allies stepping up. We praise the 2,000 participating troops – like the Greek SOF training with U.S. Green Berets – for meeting their commitments and turning shared responsibility into real lethality. As Secretary Rubio said, alliances are partnerships, not one-way streets.

[U.S. Mission to NATO @USNATO]

Sretan Dan državnosti, Hrvatska! 🇭🇷
On Croatia’s National Day, the U.S. celebrates a capable and reliable NATO Ally. From the Adriatic to the Alliance’s critical missions, Croatia brings vital strength, agility, and modern capability to our collective defense. We stand proudly together, ensuring peace and stability across Europe. 🇺🇸🇭🇷

[U.S. Ambassador to NATO @USAmbNATO]

We stand with our NATO Ally Romania and condemn this reckless incursion on its territory. Our thoughts are with the injured in Galati. We will defend every inch of NATO territory.

[Department of State @StateDept]

From Sweden 🇸🇪 to India 🇮🇳, @SecRubio is strengthening alliances, advancing defense cooperation, and deepening economic partnerships.🇺🇸

[Secretary Marco Rubio @SecRubio]

Leaving Sweden after productive NATO meetings. The goal is to have a NATO that is strong. The stronger our NATO Allies are, the stronger NATO is going to be.

[U.S. Ambassador to NATO @USAmbNATO]

This week’s NATO Foreign Ministers meeting is in the books. And, as @SecRubio noted, a stronger Europe means a stronger NATO. Now all eyes turn to Ankara, as we move to the #NATOSummit.
