Today is #WorldBicycleDay! Did you know there are more bikes than people in the Netherlands? And by 2027, we’re aiming for 600,000 bike parking spots at train stations. Why? Because the future moves on two wheels.

A powerful reminder from @MinPres of our shared history. 🇳🇱🇺🇸
This year marks 250 years since Sint Eustatius gave the #FirstSalute to the US flag, the first official recognition of American independence. A cornerstone of the centuries-strong bond we continue to build today.
May 12
The beautiful island of Sint Eustatius is a place with a rich history. You can see and feel this when you visit Fort Oranje and the Heritage Centre. Here, the history of ‘Statia’ comes to life. There is now, rightly so, a greater focus on the heroes who fought for freedom from slavery. It’s crucial that we continue to pay attention to this horrific period of our shared history.
I also visited the GTI oil terminal, which provides around 200 jobs on the island. The terminal is a crucial link in the energy supply chain in the Caribbean region. This is particularly important in times of geopolitical unrest.
I spoke with the Governor, the Executive Council and members of the Island Council about how we can further strengthen local government. So that together we can give the island an economic and social boost. Safety, good education and accessible healthcare play an important role in this.
The island’s most important public holiday, ‘Statia Day’, will be extra special this year. November marks the 250th anniversary of Sint Eustatius becoming the first state in the world to recognise the US as an independent nation with ‘The First Salute’. The team updated me on the preparations for all the festivities.
Many thanks to Governor Francis for the warm welcome and the wonderful visit to Sint Eustatius.

We observed two minutes of silence at 2 p.m. today in observance of Dutch #RemembranceDay. We remember all, civilians and soldiers, who were killed in war situations or during peacekeeping operations since the outbreak of World War II. We will never forget.🕯️

It was an extraordinary honor to welcome @koninklijkhuis King Willem-Alexander and Queen Máxima of the Netherlands to Philadelphia, as we discussed local business, and the urban environment and evolutions of our nations and cities.
250 years ago, the Netherlands were the first European nation to officially recognize the United States’ independence, and we value that act of friendship to this day.
We thank you, the Dutch Royal Delegation, for your visit to Philadelphia. Our City is truly grateful.
