Chargé d’Affaires Jim Merz and @WHOSTP47’s Katie Strickland welcomed @ITUSecGen Doreen Bogdan-Martin to the U.S. Pavilion at the #AIforGood Global Summit. The Pavilion showcases American AI leadership in action — cutting-edge innovation, trusted technology, and practical tools that improve lives, grow economies, and expand opportunity.

Tomorrow, the USA Pavilion opens at the @ITU AI for Good Global Summit in Geneva. We're bringing American innovation to the world stage — showing how AI can expand access to education & healthcare, strengthen public safety, support humanitarian response, and create new opportunities worldwide. 🌍

All over the world, our embassies and consulates have been celebrating 250 years of glorious American Freedom. 🇺🇸🦅

Happy Independence Day! As we celebrate #Freedom250, we honor a proud legacy of strong American leadership and advancing the national interest in the multilateral system. Today, under @POTUS, we are advancing an #AmericaFirst foreign policy across the @UN, @g20org, and beyond to deliver real results for the American people. We are actively reforming international bodies and returning them to their original purposes—building coalitions that concretely serve our national interests, enhance security, and maintain global peace. Follow along as we showcase American leadership in action around the world!

Visitors can experience live tech demos, interactive "AI in Action" displays, and "Ask an American Expert" sessions with U.S. private-sector leaders. Proud to be joined by sponsors @Meta, @UMG & @Microsoft, and partners @BostonDynamics, @WebAI, @Qualcomm & American Kestrel Group. Together, we'll show how trusted, practical, human-centered AI solves real-world challenges. #AIforGood 🇺🇸

I cannot stress enough the possibility of real transformative positive opportunity for the nation and people of Iran is on the table, but President Trump's patience is not unlimited.     The world cannot continue to suffer, and Iran must abide by its obligations to this Council that this Council voted for without opposition, and the world must hold this regime to account.

The past week, the United States delivered critical humanitarian assistance to the people of Venezuela—from lifesaving aid and emergency relief, we stand together in this critical time. Here's a look at the impact, the partnerships, and the people who've made it possible.

A serious counterterrorism strategy means securing borders and protecting our citizens from harm, not hiding behind a bloated 170+ paragraph UN resolution. We will continue to protect U.S. national interests, stop @UN bureaucratic overreach, and reject divisive global agendas. @USUN Full statement: usun.usmission.gov/explanati…

The 🇺🇸 IP system rewards inventors, artists, authors, designers, and entrepreneurs. At @WIPO, we stand at the forefront of protecting American IP and making global IP protection and enforcement systems stronger. The next 250 years of innovation and creativity starts now. #Freedom250

U.S. leadership under President Trump continues to yield historic reform at the UN. With the adoption yesterday of the 2026-27 Peacekeeping budget, we have now reduced UN spending by over $1 Billion in the past 6 months. @AmbUNReform

UN Member States have a choice: Fund incitement, terrorism, and stagnation with pledges to UNRWA. Or fund the Board of Peace, giving Gazans a path to peace and prosperity. History will not forget. @AmbUNReform

Today’s #UNTOC side event focused on translating commitments into results: how investigators and prosecutors are using biometrics, joint task forces, prosecutions, and international cooperation to combat smuggling threats. @StateINL @State_IO @UNODC

Approximately 115 vessels carrying 2,500 seafarers have exited the Strait of Hormuz since the UN’s International Maritime Organization (IMO) initiated its evacuation effort in the Gulf. My thanks to @IMOSecGen Dominguez for his briefing last week.

The U.S. Mission joined the release of the 2026 World Drug Report, a key publication on global drug trends.  The United States welcomed its valuable data and analysis and stressed the need to strengthen barriers against the flow of precursor chemicals.  We call on all countries, especially China, to enforce stronger controls to prevent the trafficking of precursor chemicals and equipment used to illicitly manufacture deadly synthetic drugs. @State_IO @StateINL

Today at the UN Security Council I spoke about the grave situation in Sudan. The United States condemns the ongoing violence and the killing of civilians in the strongest terms, and we call on all parties to the conflict to halt the violence and embark on a path to peace.  This path includes a Humanitarian Truce or ceasefire and support for a civilian-led transition to democratic governance.  The United States commends the Quintet’s (the UN, AU, EU, IGAD, and Arab League) efforts to facilitate Sudanese civilian dialogue in search of a resolution. I also conveyed the United States’ deep concern over reports of the mobilization of RSF and allied forces that raises the risk of new attacks on civilians.

Today I addressed the UN Security Council, underscoring the Trump Administration's unwavering commitment to peace and stability in the DRC through the full implementation of the Washington Accords and Doha Framework Agreement. Under President Trump's leadership, we have backed that commitment with action, sanctioning the Rwandan Defense Force, former President Kabila, armed group commanders of the FDLR and M23, and conflict mineral networks. I thanked SRSG James Swan for his leadership and for the critical work of MONUSCO in the DRC. Alongside these efforts, we recognize the extraordinary sacrifices MONUSCO personnel make every day to protect civilians in the DRC and respond to the Ebola outbreak on the ground. We urge all parties to embrace regional mechanisms like EJVM+ as the path to ceasefire verification and accountability and approve the first mission immediately. The United States continues to support cooperation toward a durable transformation of the DRC and the broader Great Lakes region.

No child should be denied safety or security. First Lady Melania Trump made that message clear when she presided over the UN Security Council in March, drawing vital attention to the devastating toll that global conflict takes on children. Children around the world deserve to feel safe, to receive an education, and to have a future. When we take steps to protect children, we safeguard the future and help to end enduring conflicts.

Every year, representatives from around the world sign the UN Charter as an observance of the history of this institution. Today I signed it noting the importance of getting the institution back to basics and focused on peace.

Recently in the Central African Republic, we have witnessed the electoral process move toward completion, a new legislature, and a new Government – all proceeding with general calm. MINUSCA’s ability to develop and execute should inform how other UN missions work. In the long term, peace in the Central African Republic will depend solely on Central African ownership. @AmbUNReform

🌍I met with leaders from 50+ countries this week in Rome 🤝 to outline my playbook for @WFP — getting more people FED: ✅ Focus on the core mission ✅ Excellence in operations ✅ Deepen donor relations No nation can achieve #zerohunger alone — it requires #multilateralism.👇🏼
