Imagine the battlefield where destiny took shape – The Battle of Bunker Hill. This chapter of “The Story of America” brings to life the leaders, soldiers, and ordinary patriots whose bravery showed the world that liberty was worth any cost. @Freedom250 youtu.be/_0fH4iJie8U?si…

“The negotiations are proceeding in an orderly and constructive manner, and I have informed my representatives not to rush into a deal in that time is on our side… Both sides must take their time and get it right. There can be no mistakes!” - President Donald J. Trump 🇺🇸

🚨 SECRETARY RUBIO: The idea that the President is going to agree to a deal that puts Iran in a stronger position on nuclear ambitions is ABSURD. That’s just not going to happen.

SECRETARY RUBIO: Iran has spent millions of dollars sponsoring terrorism all over the world, not improving the life of their people. That’s why their people are always in the street protesting. Their economy is in shambles because the regime doesn’t invest in their economy.

SECRETARY RUBIO: The fundamentals remain the same: Iran can’t have a nuclear weapon. To achieve that, we’ll address the issue of enrichment and the Strait. Iran is trying to create a tolling system. There’s not a country in the world that should accept that.

The flag expanded to 21 stars in 1819, reflecting another step in America’s growth. Each addition was a visual record of a nation spreading across the continent – a journey that would eventually shape the story we celebrate in #Freedom250. 🇺🇸 Today, we continue that journey by sharing the people, moments, and milestones that shaped our nation’s path to 250 years of American history. Follow along as we carry the story forward.

.@SecRubio on Iran: "@POTUS's preference is to do a good deal... I'm not here to tell you that it's going to happen for sure, but I'm here to tell you that we're going to do everything we can to see if we can get one. If we can't get a good deal, @POTUS has been clear — he has other options."

SECRETARY RUBIO on IRAN: The President’s preference is ALWAYS diplomacy and getting to a good deal.

Did you know? The U.S. is home to some of the world's most impressive stadiums! From Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor (capacity over 107,000) to Beaver Stadium in Pennsylvania (capacity over 106,000), these architectural marvels showcase America’s passion for sports and entertainment on a grand scale. From college football to professional sports to major international events, American stadiums continue to set the global standard.

Earlier today in the Gulf of Oman, U.S. Marines from the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit boarded M/T Celestial Sea, an Iranian-flagged commercial oil tanker suspected of attempting to violate the U.S. blockade by transiting toward an Iranian port. American forces released the vessel after searching and directing the ship’s crew to alter course. U.S. forces continue to fully enforce the blockade and have now redirected 91 commercial ships to ensure compliance.
