I would like to further state that in no way, shape, or form did I ever threaten to resign. That has been incorrectly reported in the press. I serve at the pleasure of the President.

"We need to be [in the Arctic] and present to make sure that we are attentive to what is going on because things could change dramatically in a fairly short period of time."

"Like all of you, the United States seeks an Arctic region that is stable & free of conflict, where nations act responsibly in the spirit of trust & cooperation."

"One of the fundamental pillars of our National Defense Strategy is to cultivate a robust constellation of allies and partners."

"Contrary to popular belief, I am still here. I did not threaten to resign. We are here to talk about external threats and Eddie Gallagher is not one of them."

"We will continue to fly, sail, and operate wherever international law allows." @secnav76 @USNavy #HISF2019

It’s a pleasure to be in Halifax for @HFXforum w/ allies & partners to discuss our common interests & to find meaningful ways to achieve our common goals. #HISF2019

Visited Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake yesterday to see recent damage recovery efforts since the July earthquakes & to discuss the value of the base and its mission to national security.

“Culture eats strategy for breakfast ... We have to change our culture.” @secnav76 in response to a question by an #NPS Marine Corps student on how the services can #innovate and #adapt at the speed of our adversaries. NPS/#MIIS #Monterey #Security Dialogue

I am honored to name a future Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer after Senator Richard G. Lugar, who dedicated his life to his country, first through service in the U.S. Navy then through service in Congress.

Had the pleasure of meeting with Embassy #Marines during a visit to @usembassyoslo in Norway, one of our strongest NATO allies.

It is my pleasure to announce that a future Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer will be named in honor of U.S. Senator and Navy veteran Thad Cochran.
