In 1778, Benjamin Franklin walked into the French court with nothing but his reputation and his country’s cause. He left with an alliance that secured the American Revolution. Represent America abroad. Become a U.S. Foreign Service Officer: Careers.State.Gov/FS

Make no mistake, President Trump won't drag the United States into another disastrous deal with Iran. "If a Deal happens under “TRUMP,” it will guarantee Peace, Security, and Safety, not only for Israel and the Middle East, but for Europe, America, and everywhere else." - President Donald J. Trump 🇺🇸

On Friday, @StateDeptGHSD released its first wave of PEPFAR data, covering July-Sept 2025, after State took over USAID’s lifesaving health programs. Contrary to false media narratives, the data shows that President Trump’s foreign assistance review maintained and improved frontline lifesaving programs, while reducing NGO bloat and costs. During this transition period; - 20.6 million people w/ HIV received PEPFAR-supported antiretroviral treatment, exactly as many as during Biden’s last year - Early progress towards @SecRubio’s ambitious goal of ending mother-to-child transmission of HIV during @POTUS Trump’s second term, with preventive treatment initiated for 103k expectant/breastfeeding mothers, more than 2x as many as the same period a year earlier - Good initial progress moving programs, particularly in the treatment and testing space, to national health ministries as we champion self-reliance among health assistance countries This is all before the transformational investments in global health innovation and self-reliance made via the America First Global Health Strategy. Launched in Sept 2025, we have already signed 31 bilateral compacts worth more than $21 billion in U.S. commitments and country co-investment, and announced historic new innovation initiatives like our partnership with Gilead Sciences to get 3 million people in high-burden countries its new 99.9% effective twice yearly HIV prevention drug Lenacapavir. state.gov/releases/offic…

The Trump Administration continues to make our nation and region safer and stronger. Today, I’m taking steps to impose visa restrictions on 75 individuals who are family members or close associates of persons linked to the Sinaloa Cartel sanctioned under E.O. 14059. @StateDept will continue to protect Americans from dangerous narco-terrorists and deadly drugs.

“Israel never talked me into the war with Iran, the results of Oct. 7th, added to my lifelong opinion that IRAN CAN NEVER HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON, did… the results in Iran will be amazing - And if Iran’s new leaders (Regime Change!) are smart, Iran can have a great and prosperous future!” - President Donald J. Trump 🇺🇸

Learn about Paul Revere’s famous midnight ride on April 18, 1775. The promise of “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” has bonded us together as a nation and made us who we are today: stories.state.gov/spirit-of-1776/

With America's 250th anniversary just around the corner, we're looking back at the heroes who started it all. 🇺🇸 Tonight we honor Paul Revere's midnight ride–the spark in the dark that ignited the American Revolution.

A visa is a privilege, not a right. The bottom line is we are not going to allow people here on visas who break our laws and who threaten our national security. Visa security is border security.

The Trump Administration continues to hold the Murillo-Ortega dictatorship accountable for brutal human rights violations against Nicaraguans. I’m designating Nicaraguan Vice Minister of the Interior Luis Roberto Cañas Novoa for his role in human rights violations.

.@POTUS: "We're negotiating over the weekend... I expect things to go well. Many of these things have been negotiated and agreed to... The main thing is that Iran will not have a nuclear weapon. You cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon — and that supersedes everything else."

“President Xi is very happy that the Strait of Hormuz is open and/or rapidly opening. Our meeting in China will be a special one and, potentially, Historic. I look forward to being with President Xi — Much will be accomplished!” - President DONALD J. TRUMP

At today's @CFR_Org event, @UnderSecretaryF & @UnderSecE highlighted how commercial diplomacy moves nations from "aid to trade." By mobilizing private resources and fostering public-private collaboration, we aren't just advancing America First interests—we’re building the prosperous, self-reliant partners of tomorrow.

.@POTUS: Iran has just announced that the Strait of Hormuz is fully open and ready for business — but the Naval blockade will remain in full force and effect until such time as our transaction is 100% complete. The USA will get all 'Nuclear Dust' created by our great B2 Bombers. No money will exchange hands in any way, shape, or form — and most importantly, it is agreed that Iran will NEVER have a nuclear weapon.

.@POTUS: "Now that the Hormuz Strait situation is almost over, I received a call from NATO asking if we would like some help... and I told them, 'I would have liked your help two months ago, but now, I really don’t want your help anymore.'"

"We've had some very good discussions... Talks are going on. It'll go on over the weekend — and a lot of good things are happening," says @POTUS in Arizona. "As soon as the agreement gets signed, that's when the blockade ends."

State Department Cracks Down on Visas of People ‘Working on Behalf of U.S. Adversaries’

FOX: Trump is the architect, Rubio is the builder

"The U.S.A. will get all Nuclear “Dust,” created by our great B2 Bombers - No money will exchange hands in any way, shape, or form."

The Strait of Hormuz is COMPLETELY OPEN AND READY FOR BUSINESS!

The region’s trust in President Trump, his willingness to think outside the box and ability to bring people together, has made peace between Israel and Lebanon possible.
