🇦🇴 Parabéns, Angola! Today, on the 51st anniversary of Angola’s independence, I extend my warmest congratulations to H.E. President João Lourenço and to the Angolan people at home and around the world. A special greeting to my dear friends Minister Téte António, pictured here with me, Minister Diamantino Azevedo, Minister Márcio Daniel, and Ambassador Maria Borges. To each of you and to my friends across the diplomatic corps, I’m thinking of you today and celebrating with you in spirit. I also want to thank our fantastic team at the U.S. Embassy in Luanda for all the work you did to prepare for my previously planned official visit. Viva Angola! 🇦🇴

🇩🇲 On the 48th anniversary of Dominica’s independence, I extend my warmest congratulations to H.E. President Sylvanie Burton, the Hon. Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit, the Government of Dominica, and Dominicans at home and around the world. It was an honor to represent Dominica at the United Nations, and this anniversary holds special meaning for me. As my former boss, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, noted in his Independence Day message, the United States and Dominica are working together to strengthen energy security and combat smuggling, trafficking, and organized crime across the Caribbean. I share his optimism about closer business ties, especially through investment in critical infrastructure. Happy Independence Day, Dominica! 🇩🇲

We congratulate the people of Antigua and Barbuda and my dearest friend, the Most Honorable Prime Minister Gaston Browne, on the forty-fifth anniversary of Antigua and Barbuda’s Independence Day. We commend him for his fight against killer fentanyl and for advancing trade and security cooperation with our country. In this photo, we’re celebrating Gaston Browne Junior’s birthday in New York in 2017 🇺🇸🇦🇬⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

President Trump and Vice President JD Vance announced rewards of up to $30,000 for people who report fraud against American taxpayers. Knowingly lying about eligibility on an SBA application for HUBZone or Women-Owned Small Business certification can be a federal felony. Anyone who deliberately falsifies that information can face prosecution. If you have credible information that someone deliberately lied on a federal application, report it w🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ fraud.gov

Good to reconnect with my friend President Macky Sall, a champion of African leadership, and learn more about his vision for Africa’s future. I proudly recall voting for Senegal’s election to the UN Security Council while serving as Ambassador, and my friendship with Ambassador Fodé Seck, who endorsed our UN shark project.

Special Envoys appointments are for one year. President Trump extended it for more than six months. Years ago, he told me I was too good for modeling and brought me into real estate. Now he told me: “Why do you want to work in government when you can close all these deals?” The President is always right. Serving him and the United States has been the greatest honor of my life. I am deeply grateful to President Trump, Secretary Rubio and the entire team. Now it is time for the next chapter - back to business, building relationships and closing deals. President Trump changed my life once. He just did it again. @POTUS @SecRubio

It was so good to see my friend Eduardo Bolsonaro after so long and reminisce about how it all started. I still remember October 28, 2018—the day his father, Jair Bolsonaro, won Brazil’s presidential election. That evening, while in Rio de Janeiro, President-elect Bolsonaro received a congratulatory phone call from The President just seven minutes after his victory was announced. A special memory, and one for which I remain grateful to Dr. Mario Garnero Sr., who helped make that connection possible. 🇧🇷🇺🇸

La Presidente Meloni oggi mi ha fatto sorridere. Se pranzare con Paolo Zampolli è diventato sinonimo di amicizia con l’America, mi dichiaro colpevole. Italia e Stati Uniti sono molto più che alleati. La nostra amicizia vive di valori condivisi, investimenti, lavoro e generazioni di persone che hanno unito i nostri due grandi Paesi. La mia tavola sarà sempre aperta a chi vuole rendere questo rapporto ancora più forte. E Giorgia, il prossimo pranzo lo offro io. 🇮🇹🇺🇸 ilgiornale.it/news/europa/me…

Yesterday on BBC Newsday, I discussed the selection of the next UN Secretary-General. My message is simple: the UN Charter does not require regional rotation, nationality or gender. Those are political traditions, not legal rules. The world should choose the best person for the job - based on merit, reform and results. After 18 years at the United Nations, I believe this is a moment to think bigger about the future of the institution. Watch the full interview below.
