Thank you to American Global Strategies for inviting me to the Geopolitical Leadership Summit this week to share @CIA's perspective on threats & challenges to U.S. national security. More than ever, American innovation & prosperity rely on close public-private partnerships. 🇺🇸

It was a privilege to participate on a panel at the AGS Geopolitical Leadership Summit with my friends & colleagues Fmr Japan NSA Kitamura-San & Fmr Australia PM Morrison, moderated by the great ⁦@hughhewitt⁩.

I extend my sincere gratitude to @AlexGrayForOK Chief Executive Officer of American Global Strategies and former NSC Chief of Staff under President Trump, for hosting a book event for me to present “American Trojan” at the Metropolitan Club in Washington, D.C. Your generous hospitality made the evening truly memorable. Among the many attendees was the Ambassador of Cyprus, Evangelos Savva, the White House Correspondent of @ekathimerini @lenaargiri and Prof. @hmylonas #AmericanTrojan #USC #USCAlumni #FightOn @robertcobrien @VDHanson @rogerkimball @EncounterBooks @ArionPetasis @kyriac_kokkinos @PikiIrene #VDH

We shouldn’t be green lighting Chinese drugs while we’re drowning American companies in red tape. Our reliance on drugs from China is a national security issue. foxnews.com/opinion/americ…

Until recently, Hamideh Soleimani Afshar and her daughter were green card holders living lavishly in the United States. Afshar is the niece of deceased Iranian Major General Qasem Soleimani. She is also an outspoken supporter of the Iranian regime who celebrated attacks on Americans and referred to our country as the "Great Satan." This week, I terminated both Afshar and her daughter's legal status and they are now in ICE custody, pending removal from the United States. The Trump Administration will not allow our country to become a home for foreign nationals who support anti-American terrorist regimes.

Today, we remember our namesake, General Brent Scowcroft, on what would have been his 101st birthday. National Security Advisor to two presidents, he fundamentally changed the national security apparatus as we know it. We are proud to carry your legacy forward. #TodayInScowcroftHistory Learn more about General Scowcroft and his legacy: atlanticcouncil.org/brent-scowcrof…

The end of New START is a watershed moment in American nuclear strategy. This expiration is an overdue correction of a strategic mistake that left America vulnerable to two nuclear rivals: Russia and China. wsj.com/opinion/if-you…

Welcome to the firm, Chad. With you and Larry Kudlow and so many of our Trump 1.0 NSC staff at AGS, Alex Gray and I were commenting that it feels like the band is getting back together! prnewswire.com/news-releases/…

In case you missed it! Yesterday on The Capital Cable, @CSIS @mwlippert, @VictorDCha, @NatSecAnthony, and @AbercrombieCara broke down two crucial documents shaping the U.S.–ROK alliance: the Joint Fact Sheet and the Joint Communique. Watch here: youtube.com/watch?v=JKtp9Z…

@NatSecAnthony emphasizes that submarines & enrichment and reprocessing capabilities would require South Korea to engage in negotiations with other countries and to issue more forward-leaning public assurances—along with strict inspections—to reinforce its commitment to not developing nuclear weapons.

@NatSecAnthony underscores that nuclear issues are on the ascendency, and that over the next decade or two, the U.S. will be focused on reassuring partners & allies of its commitment to deterrence and engaging in internal debates over the appropriate scale of its own deterrent posture.

@NatSecAnthony notes that denuclearization remains a long-term prospect, making defense and deterrence—particularly through U.S.–Korea–Japan trilateral cooperation—the primary focus. He also emphasizes that the war in Ukraine will be an important factor to watch going forward.
