U.S. Ambassador to NATO

Since last year’s #NATOSummit alone, Allies have spent more than $139B on defense—over half with U.S. industry, which boosts American jobs. This is President Trump’s America First foreign policy in action, delivering real dividends to the American people. 🇺🇸

At the #NATOSummit, @POTUS announced a surge in defense investment from Allies, increasing market access for American companies and supporting thousands of high-paying American manufacturing jobs.

My takeaway from the #NATOSummit: Thanks to @POTUS, NATO is getting back to what it was created to do: defend its members with real capabilities, not just good intentions. That means more investment, more burden shifting, and an Alliance where American taxpayers aren't expected to carry so much of the burden alone.

President Trump's sustained pressure is delivering results. @NATO is evolving into an Alliance where the burden is shared more fairly and Europe assumes greater responsibility for its own defense. Allies like Poland, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Greece, and Türkiye are leading the way. Those lagging behind need to catch up.

The NATO Summit demonstrated the success of an America First foreign policy. The leadership of @POTUS has produced a generational shift at NATO, ramping up #NATO Allies' stake in industrial expansion and creating jobs for thousands of Americans. radio.foxnews.com/2026/07/15/eve…

Under @POTUS’s leadership, the #NATOSummit in Ankara was a historic success. We need to keep the momentum going as our Allies spend more on their own defense and make @NATO stronger.

.@USAmbNATO: "The Memorandum of Understanding between the parties was always performance-based—and @POTUS, if shipping is attacked or if the Iranians want to act belligerent, then he will respond with overwhelming force."

.@USAmbNATO: I would spend time with Senator Graham all over the world, and he was certainly an American patriot and was always very interested in America's place in the world, and making sure that we were coming from a position of strength. 🙏

"The United States of America's position is that the Strait of Hormuz will remain open," says @USAmbNATO. "President Trump is responding to these attacks... and that's what they should expect."

@POTUS’s leadership is delivering a stronger Alliance. Allies are stepping up with the political support and military resolve needed to confront today's security challenges together.

President Trump's leadership is delivering one of the biggest foreign policy victories of his second term. Allies are investing in real capabilities, strengthening NATO, and helping make America safer while supporting U.S. jobs.

NATO exists to defend, not provoke. Peace through strength means a strong America, capable Allies, and an Alliance ready to deter threats before conflict begins.

@POTUS's leadership is delivering a stronger #NATO Alliance. Allies are stepping up with the political support and military resolve needed to confront today's security challenges together.

The Trump effect on #NATO is real and measurable. Allies are spending more - supporting U.S. manufacturing and jobs. Stronger Allies mean a stronger NATO, all thanks to @POTUS.

.@USAmbNATO: "Europe was asleep... and we have fixed that. With President Trump's leadership... we are seeing Europe, for the first time in 77 years, start spending more money on their defense, becoming more capable, and taking over the conventional defense of Europe."

The President's leadership has held NATO accountable in a way no one else could. The work isn't done - but the vision is clear. Thank you, @POTUS.

The killing in the war between Russia and Ukraine needs to end. President Trump will make a deal if a deal can be made – but it takes both sides coming to the table. The Ukrainians’ ability to defend themselves will set the groundwork for a peace deal that can last generations.

Thanks to @POTUS, the #NATOSummit was an incredible success. We’re going to take this momentum and continue to turn commitments into real capabilities across the Alliance – showing what results an America First foreign policy can bring for everyone.
