✅ Yet another historic investment for American manufacturing. President Trump is prioritizing MADE IN AMERICA. These actions are generating more jobs, investments, and wealth for American businesses and families.

.@SecRubio: The economic campaign against the Iranian regime is working so well that @POTUS doesn't need to conduct major combat operations. Obviously, if Iran crosses certain red lines, the U.S. military—the most capable military in the world—stands ready to address it.

Ready today. Prepared for tomorrow. The threat is real. So is our resolve. We see. We prepare. We stand ready. From the Atlantic to @NATO’s Eastern Flank, JFC Brunssum stands at the forefront of Allied deterrence and defence. One Alliance. One mission. One unwavering commitment: to defend every inch of NATO territory. Strong. United. Ready. #WeAreNATO #Thatstheway

Arrived in Denmark with my team for meetings with Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, Danish parliamentarians, and leading defense companies. An audience with King Frederik X is also scheduled, along with a separate meeting with the prime ministers of Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Iceland, and Finland. The main priority is our security and strengthening our defense. There will be new steps to enhance Ukraine’s defense capabilities – a strong defense package from Denmark. Thank you for this support! Denmark has stood with Ukraine since the first days of the full-scale war and remains one of our most reliable partners and a leader in various formats that strengthen the protection of human lives. We thank the Danish people and government for their unwavering support and concrete decisions that help us stand strong. 🇺🇦 🇩🇰

SECRETARY RUBIO: The Iranian people are great people. I have talked about how great Iran is and how great its people are, and how different they are from the small core of violent maniacs who govern them. It is very sick.

A report from Prime Minister of Ukraine Sergii Koretskyi on the situation in the energy sector, efforts to address the aftermath of Russian strikes, and communication with the European Commission to secure new decisions in support of Ukraine. First, I am grateful to Ursula von der Leyen and the European Commission team for already beginning to coordinate concrete steps that can help our cities and communities right now amid Russian terror. It is important to provide people with as many opportunities as possible to get through this winter. Second, the Prime Minister, together with Minister of Internal Affairs Ivan Vyhivskyi and Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council Ihor Klymenko, is working on the necessary logistical alternatives for Kyiv and designated regional centers. I am grateful to the National Police of Ukraine, the State Emergency Service of Ukraine, and all the agencies involved for implementing the decisions made to support cities and communities. Third, we are preparing for bilateral formats with partners in Europe and engagement with international financial institutions over the coming weeks. There will be additional steps to strengthen our country. Glory to Ukraine!

Productive meeting with Ukrainian Foreign Minister @Andrii_Sybiha. We discussed ongoing negotiations to end the Russia-Ukraine war, energy resilience, and defense cooperation. The United States remains focused on achieving a durable and lasting peace.

Statement on Meeting Between the United States, Ukraine, and European Partners: Ahead of the upcoming trilateral discussions with Russia, representatives of the United States, Ukraine, and European partners met to continue their close coordination on efforts to end the war in Ukraine and establish the conditions for a durable peace, including support for robust security guarantees as part of any settlement. Discussions took place collaboratively between the United States, Ukraine, and European partners, reflecting their shared objectives, ongoing consultations, and commitment to Euro-Atlantic security. Participants emphasized that any future arrangements must respect sovereignty, territorial integrity, independent decision-making, and provide credible security guarantees for Ukraine. The shared objective is to develop a practical and mutually reinforcing security framework that strengthens Ukraine’s long-term security and builds the confidence necessary to reach a negotiated settlement. Alongside a central focus on a lasting peace, the discussion covered how to build upon existing European security institutions and agreements following the conclusion of the war in Ukraine. Participants further recognized that addressing post-war security concerns and reducing the risk of conflict are essential. They discussed how to ensure strong mechanisms for managing risk and avoiding dangerous escalation. The participants reaffirmed their shared commitment to a strong post-war European security architecture and arrangements, and were clear that a strong NATO will remain central to Euro-Atlantic collective defense. The United States, Ukraine, and European partners will continue working in close partnership throughout the negotiating process, with the shared objective of moving toward broader multilateral discussions involving European partners and achieving a comprehensive and lasting peace.

SECRETARY RUBIO: I think the president took on something that other presidents have failed to do. Sometimes, when you do the right thing, you don't know whether it's popular or not, but it's still the right thing to do. Presidents are elected to take on the hard things, sometimes difficult things, but necessary things.
