Under President Trump’s historic leadership, the United States is seeing a renewed surge in manufacturing strength, including expanding production lines in the space domain. On the final day of #TDIAF2026 in Luxembourg 🇱🇺, more than 50 🇺🇸 defense industry leaders discussed scaling commercial space capabilities and modernizing export controls for transatlantic innovation.

Great to join @SecGenNATO Mark Rutte at @NATO to address an audience from across the U.S. defense, industrial, and technology communities, emphasizing that their role is central to turning Allied strategy and investment into actual readiness.
Our shared security is only as powerful as the speed of our defense industrial base. We must restore our industrial might and secure peace through strength for generations to come.

Our defense industrial base must move at the speed of relevance. Faster industrial collaboration across the @NATO Alliance is essential to meet the moment. Yesterday, in The Hague 🇳🇱, dozens of U.S. defense industry leaders continued #TDIAF2026, discussing industrial scaling and procurement procedures.
Removing the barriers to achieving an agile, accountable defense ecosystem – cutting red tape, empowering leaders, and providing stable, long-term contracts – allows industry to invest, expand, and promptly deliver the right tools to warfighters.

The strength of the United States, and our @NATO Allies, is not just in our military. It’s also in the ingenuity, speed, and scale of our defense industry that enables America’s warfighters. The #TDIAF2026 kicked off yesterday in Munich, Germany 🇩🇪.
Monday was focused on creating partnerships that work. How do we bring private sector cutting-edge tech onto today’s battlefield as quickly as possible? By connecting American defense leaders with European Allies’ industry leaders. Now is the time to act – our militaries deserve the best.

The Trump Administration is focused on protecting our nation and our citizens by upholding the highest standards of national security and public safety through our visa process. A U.S. visa is a privilege, not a right. Every visa adjudication is a national security decision.

Honored to have joined Secretary Hegseth and other senior leaders to remember and reflect upon the sacrifices of those who fought and died in Normandy to defend the free world.
Eighty-two years ago, Allied forces stormed the beaches of Normandy into the hell of war — answering the call of duty in defense of freedom.
Today, we honor their courage, remember their sacrifice, and remain forever grateful for the liberty they secured for generations to come.

During Dynamic Mongoose 26, Allied troops trained for undersea warfare in the High North. Nine Allies tested advanced anti-submarine skills. This exercise shows how Allies can cooperate and learn real capabilities from each other.

At last year’s NATO Summit, all Allies signed onto the historic Hague Defense Commitment. At next month’s NATO Summit in Ankara, we’ll see how much progress they have made in converting that commitment into real defensive capabilities.

Buona Festa della Repubblica! 🇮🇹🇺🇸
The U.S. celebrates Italy, a key NATO Ally. We applaud Italy’s commitment as we push European Allies to raise defense spending to 5% of GDP. The U.S.-Italy relationship is vital to building a resilient, secure future.

Exercise Trojan Footprint 26 Allies stepping up. We praise the 2,000 participating troops – like the Greek SOF training with U.S. Green Berets – for meeting their commitments and turning shared responsibility into real lethality. As Secretary Rubio said, alliances are partnerships, not one-way streets.

We stand with our NATO Ally Romania and condemn this reckless incursion on its territory. Our thoughts are with the injured in Galati. We will defend every inch of NATO territory.

Leaving Sweden after productive NATO meetings. The goal is to have a NATO that is strong. The stronger our NATO Allies are, the stronger NATO is going to be.
