U.S. Mission to the EU

Glad to meet 🇺🇸 Aryeh Lightstone from @BoardOfPeace today in Brussels. I welcome his participation in today’s second meeting of our 🇪🇺 #PalestineDonorGroup. By working together, we can advance Gaza’s early recovery, and help turn the Gaza Peace Plan into tangible progress on the ground. This is our shared goal and our common commitment, in coordination with @BoardOfPeace and all our partners.

🇺🇸 Happy 4th of July! 🇺🇸 Today, and every day, I am proud to be an American and proud to serve @POTUS President @realDonaldTrump. As the United States celebrates its 250th anniversary, it's worth remembering what makes America truly exceptional. Our Founders were bold visionaries who enshrined timeless truths: that we are all created equal, endowed with unalienable rights, and governed only by the consent of the governed. These words — uniquely American in their ambition and courage — still stir emotions 250 years later. At Gettysburg, Abraham Lincoln asked whether a nation "conceived in Liberty" could long endure. Today, we have our answer. The ideals that inspired our founding have never waned — and they never will. Here's to the next 250 years. 🇺🇸 #Freedom250

🇺🇸 Happy 250th Birthday, America! #America250 #FourthOfJuly

🇺🇸 It’s America’s 250th birthday! 🎉 Two hundred and fifty years ago, 56 patriots signed the Declaration of Independence, changing the course of history. Today, those founding ideals of freedom and democracy continue to inspire people worldwide. Happy Birthday America! #Freedom250 #America250

🇺🇸 This is the story of America — our shared heritage and our proud destiny, which will continue to lead us to unimaginable achievements in the centuries to come. Learn more about the history of America 👇 youtu.be/LORpUiPlm3s?si… #Freedom250 #America250

🇺🇸 Happy 250th Birthday, America! This week, we celebrated together with friends at @Europarl_EN to mark this historic milestone and honor our shared history. Our transatlantic partnership remains the most mutually beneficial economic relationship in the history of the world — and it's built on that civilizational bond. Here's to the next 250 years!

As we commemorate 250 years of independence, I call on our allies and embassies around the world to join us in celebrating the American principles of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Happy Independence Day, and may God bless the United States of America. — @SecRubio 🇺🇸

🇺🇸 The pursuit of freedom began in 1776 — but it is not over. #Freedom250 #America250

🇺🇸🇪🇺 Yesterday, we celebrated 250 years of American independence at the @Europarl_EN with friends, allies, and partners from across Europe. #Freedom250

The United States is home to 63 national parks and hundreds of other protected sites that showcase America’s natural beauty and cultural history 🇺🇸🌲 With so much to explore, we created this quiz to help you decide which national park to visit on your next vacation. stories.state.gov/find-your-park/ #Freedom250 #America250

PaxSilica is a positive-sum partnership that creates a coordinating mechanism for partners who want to remain competitive and prosperous. We are delighted to welcome the European Union into #PaxSilica.

Met with German Foreign Minister @AussenMinDE today to discuss the situation in the Middle East and reiterated our shared commitment to ensuring Iran never obtains or develops a nuclear weapon. We also reaffirmed the need for NATO burden shifting and a durable peace between Russia and Ukraine.

The AI race is a fundamental struggle over the architecture of the 21st century. Pax Silica is our answer: a coalition of capable, aligned economies — American and European — built on mutual prosperity and supply chain security.

Great celebrating #Freedom250 last night with Allies and friends. We are confident that America's best chapters are still ahead.

Last night, in the heart of Europe, we celebrated the 250th anniversary of America's founding. I was honored to join the fantastic Ambassadors @USAmbToBelgium Bill White and @USAmbNATO Matt Whitaker in welcoming so many of our friends and allies to this once-in-a-lifetime event. America's cultural and historic ties with Europe run deep. Our relationships with the EU, Belgium, and NATO embody those ties — making it a true pleasure to welcome and hear from President @RobertaMetsola, Prime Minister @Bart_DeWever, @SecGenNATO Mark Rutte, and @SHAPE_NATO Supreme Allied Commander Europe, General Alexus G. Grynkewich, among others. A special thank you, of course, to President Trump for everything he is doing for our country and to mark this incredible 250-year anniversary, as well as our U.S. Tri-Mission community, who worked hard to ensure this was a celebration worthy of this momentous moment and the extraordinary venue. Here’s to 250 years of American independence and the enduring transatlantic partnership that will strengthen the security and prosperity of both Americans and our European friends for the next 250 years. #America250 #Freedom250 #USA250Brussels
