Proud to welcome Allied Forces Foundation Cateran Yomp participants and Scottish government Minister for Veterans Jamie Hepburn for a reception at the Consulate ahead of this weekend’s trek through the Highlands. The Yomp is an annual event aimed at supporting the physical and mental recovery of military combat veterans, including from the U.S., and serves as a powerful reminder of shared military bonds.

This week we joined @FCDOGovUK,@DCMS, @FA, @ScottishFA, @CanadianUK, and @Embamexru to celebrate the world's biggest sporting event. The @FIFAWorldCup is more than soccer, it's a moment of global unity, shared passion, and diplomacy in action. Wishing every success to the U.S., England, Scotland, Canada, and Mexico as they take to the world stage.

Enjoyed speaking with Robert Hardman @hardmanr about my first year as United States Ambassador, President Trump’s fondness for the Royal Family, and why the UK should take advantage of its natural resources to strengthen its economy and promote growth. dailymail.com/news/article-1…

Harriet and I visited the ancestral home of George Washington to open a special event to mark 250 years of American independence. @SulgraveManor stands as a powerful reminder that the roots of our countries’ partnership run deep, woven into the very fabric of our buildings, our shared heritage, and our enduring beliefs. I can think of few more fitting places to host a conference titled “The U.S.–UK Relationship at 250.”

On Memorial Day at Cambridge American Cemetery, Harriet and I, joined by our family, paid tribute to the Americans who died in service to our country. This cemetery helps maintain our connection to those who died in the Second World War: a war that saw the United States and United Kingdom fight side-by-side with our allies to achieve victory. Most importantly, it reminds us of the price of freedom, the need to savor, protect and preserve the liberty we have today, because others died to defend it. My thanks to @usabmc Commissioner John Freeman, Lord-Lieutenant Mrs. Julie Spence, Major General Akshai Gandhi, and all the distinguished guests for coming together to remember our fallen heroes.

During #Freedom250, we’re not only celebrating the birth of our nation, but our truly unique partnership with the UK. It was fantastic to be a part of the send-off organized by the Greater Together campaign for a trade delegation to visit LA, to promote & build on our nations’ links in tourism, creative, tech, manufacturing, & life sciences sectors. These collaborations make both our nations safer, stronger, & more prosperous. 🇺🇸🇬🇧 We look forward to seeing more about this exciting endeavor!
