Immediately after last week’s devastating earthquakes in Venezuela, @StateDept deployed four Urban Search and Rescue teams. Their heroic work is part of a broader U.S. response that includes more than $300 million in life-saving humanitarian assistance to support the Venezuelan people. @VATF1 @LACOFD @MiamiDadeFire @CityofMiamiFire

From the hardy pioneers on the Oregon Trail to astronauts transcending the limits of Earth itself, America has always been a frontier nation. We are the greatest nation on Earth. That has been true for 250 years. And with God’s grace, it will be true for the next 250 as well.
