Pacific security and prosperity drive U.S. engagement.

Productive luncheon with Assistant Minister Thistlethwaite on what the U.S. and Australia can do together across the region including on energy security. -MGD

The U.S.-Australia critical minerals framework is integral to our efforts to diversify supply chains. Important conversation with Minister @MadeleineMHKing about our work together in this sphere and on regional energy security. -MGD

The U.S.-Australia Alliance is stronger than ever. Discussed the Quad with Foreign Minister @SenatorWong and how it is advancing shared priorities in economic prosperity and security. Our partnership is essential to build a free and open Indo-Pacific region. - MGD

Met with New Zealand Deputy Secretaries Grahame Morton, Vangelis Vitalis, and Bernadette Cavanagh to strengthen U.S.-New Zealand cooperation. We are aligned in promoting peace and prosperity in the Indo-Pacific and protecting critical minerals supply chains. -MGD

Critical minerals cooperation with New Zealand advances supply chain security— that's key for both our countries. Together we're building resilience against economic coercion while diversifying our energy and critical minerals supply chains. -MGD

Productive critical minerals roundtable with partners and natural resource companies to promote supply chain security and counter economic coercion and market distortion. Great to see New Zealand companies ready to jump in! -MGD

Wonderful meeting New Zealand’s new Defense Minister, Chris Penk. Appreciate New Zealand’s commitments to increase defense investments. The U.S.-New Zealand defense partnership is a critical pillar of regional stability and prosperity for both nations. -MGD

Honored to speak with 🇦🇺 Deputy Secretary Michelle Chan. 🇺🇸🤝🇦🇺 Our partnership grows stronger as we work to safeguard freedom of navigation and support ASEAN centrality as the foundation for a #FreeAndOpenIndoPacific -MGD

Yesterday, Ambassador Greer spoke to over 500 students in the National War College and the Eisenhower School at the National Defense University on how to make international trade work for American economic and national security, unpacking the strategy behind President Trump’s pragmatic approach to balance our trade deficit, increase real median household incomes, and strengthen our manufacturing base. @NWC_NDU | @NDU_EDU

Always great to be back @washcoll on a beautiful Saturday afternoon! #GooseNation

Last week, Ambassador Jamieson Greer traveled to Jeju, Korea, for the @APEC Ministers Responsible for Trade meeting. We appreciate Korea's warm hospitality and @MOTIEKoreaEng Trade Minister Cheong's capable leadership of the APEC meetings in Jeju. While there, Ambassador Greer met with trading partners from across the Asia-Pacific, underscoring that the United States values cooperation in APEC to promote prosperity for the American people and the people of the region, and the role of APEC in restoring reciprocity and fairness in our trading relationships.

For 30 years, APEC has brought together government and business leaders across the Asia-Pacific. Today, I thanked those leaders and called on them to stay engaged. By partnering together, we can build more inclusive economies with greater opportunity for all our people.

I met with the leaders of APEC today to reaffirm our commitment to building inclusive, resilient, and sustainable economies across the Asia-Pacific.

It’s a wonderful night to be in our nation’s capital! 🇺🇸
