DAS John Mills recently visited Europe and CERN, the world's largest particle physics lab, to see firsthand how U.S. investment, partnership, and shared prosperity drive real returns for the American economy.

At the Energy Imperatives Summit, @UnderSecE Helberg made the case: when an ally powers its compute with American nuclear energy, that’s an 80-year strategic partnership—not a transaction. The United States is leading the AI economy.

From the fields to the marketplace — American innovation is growing opportunity in Zimbabwe. 🚜🌱 Ambassador Tremont visited the 2026 ADMA Showcase in Pomona, where American businesses, distributors, and partners showcased their agricultural equipment, technology, and innovation alongside more than 250 exhibitors. From machinery and irrigation to agro-inputs, distributorships, and franchises, U.S. businesses are bringing trusted products, proven business models, and practical solutions to Zimbabwe’s agricultural sector. Interested in U.S. franchise and distributorship opportunities? Contact zimbizopps@state.gov Businesses are also encouraged to join AmCham Zimbabwe to strengthen U.S.-Zimbabwe commercial ties.

Illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing isn't just a fisheries problem — it's a threat to security, economic stability, and fair markets. At @CSISOceans’ Ocean Security and Human Rights Forum, OES DAS Ruth Perry outlined @StateDept's bold new approach to IUU fishing that drives action and finally holds bad actors accountable.

Our astronaut Luca Parmitano is assigned as pilot of NASA’s #ArtemisIII mission. With Europe powering Orion with the European Service Module, this mission will test the critical operations preparing for humankind's return to the Moon. A strong step forward for ESA–NASA partnership. 🔗esa.int/Science_Exploration/… 📸 NASA

The Great Lakes fishery supports $5.2 billion in economic activity and 35,000 American jobs. At a Great Lakes Fishery Commission meeting, @StateDept reaffirmed 🇺🇸🇨🇦 commitments to protect this vital freshwater resource from invasive species.

Great catching up with HE Khaldoon Al Mubarak, on the occasion of the one-year anniversary of our historic U.S.-UAE AI Acceleration Partnership. The UAE has become a comprehensive technology partner of choice, and a true friend and ally, of the United States. 🇺🇸 🇦🇪

The United States is a global leader on AI -@SecRubio

We are delighted to welcome Dr. Wesley Brooks as Assistant Secretary for Oceans and International Environmental and Scientific Affairs. He'll lead @StateDept efforts to advance U.S. economic and national security by amplifying American leadership in outer space, the ocean, the poles, fisheries, and the environment.

Le @UnderSecE Jacob Helberg sur l'IA : « Concernant le débat sur l’avenir du travail, il suffit de se tourner vers l’histoire. Lors de la révolution informatique, certaines personnes disaient que les ordinateurs personnels mettraient au chômage de nombreuses secrétaires. En réalité, la révolution du PC a donné naissance à l’industrie du logiciel. Cette révolution a déplacé 3,5 millions d’emplois, mais en a surtout créé 19 millions aux États-Unis. »

DAS John Mills led the U.S. delegation to #APEC TEL72 in Shanghai, championing pro-innovation policies and private sector leadership in AI and emerging tech. The United States is a global leader on AI, Low Earth Orbit satellite connectivity, cloud services, and ICT infrastructure—technologies that are key to a robust digital economy across the APEC and the world.

SECRETARY RUBIO: "The core of our foreign policy must always be the national interests of the United States."

Chargé d’Affaires Carlon welcomed Assistant Secretary of State Caleb Orr and the U.S. delegation for a reception marking their visit to Azerbaijan for #BakuEnergyWeek. The evening underscored the mutual interest in advancing the U.S.-Azerbaijan Charter on Strategic Partnership and our enduring cooperation on energy, trade, and regional connectivity.

We are working on a number of arrangements with the EU: a trade deal, an MoU on critical minerals that we've signed, and Pax Silica, which will bring the EU into the AI economy. Under President Trump's administration, what he's accomplished with Europe—5% defense spending, the trade deal, critical minerals, AI—is significant. People talk about contracting the US-EU relationship, but we are expanding it.

SECRETARY RUBIO on American AI dominance, Pax Silica, and the importance of allies and ecosystems.

.@SecRubio: Pax Silica is building a coalition of nations that understand the danger China poses in the AI race. The MATCH Act and the STRIDE Act back up that effort and aligns allied export controls so we are all the same page on combating Communist China.

🪜 In the sidelines of the #OECDMinisterial, we organised an event on "Building Confidence in Global Markets: Ensuring #OECD Investment Standards & Policies Stay Fit for Purpose" with the @OECD & @Ulkoministerio.

A delegation led by Assistant Secretary of State Caleb Orr met with @AzerbaijanMFA Minister Jeyhun Bayramov yesterday on the margins of #BakuEnergyWeek to discuss ongoing cooperation and progress on the U.S.-Azerbaijan Charter on Strategic Partnership. The meeting highlighted opportunities to strengthen cooperation in support of shared prosperity, regional connectivity, and lasting peace in the South Caucasus.

At #BakuEnergyWeek, A/S Caleb Orr delivered greetings from @POTUS, signed a critical minerals MOU, and reaffirmed America's strong partnership with Azerbaijan and our shared commitment to global energy security. In its 31st year, the event remains a vital platform for international energy cooperation and economic growth.

.@UnderSecE @jacobhelberg on navigating AI sovereignty among US allies: “Our message to a lot of allies is: the pie is growing,” he tells @FredKempe. “Think of the future—new things are built all the time, compete for the next thing, not yesterday’s technology,” he adds.
