The United Kingdom has an extraordinarily proud military history. It commands our respect. There is again a great need for more British military strength in this critical time. We urge the UK to meet that need with urgency, scale, and determination. 1/

âOur purpose now must be to take our resolve from the legacy of Normandy â to look at our challenges realistically and seriously, to build our military strength individually and together, and to restore our home fronts that can, once again, supply overwhelming superiority in weapons and munitions.â 4/4

« Nous accomplissons de rĂ©els progrĂšs avec nos AlliĂ©s de lâOTAN afin de prĂ©parer lâAlliance atlantique pour le long terme. Notre approche repose sur la clartĂ©, la collaboration et le rĂ©alisme, au service dâune @OTAN_FR plus Ă©quilibrĂ©e, plus lucide et plus durable. Telle est la vision de lâOTAN 3.0 que nos AlliĂ©s adoptent et Ă laquelle ils sâemploient Ă rĂ©pondre. » - Le @USWPColby

As part of commemorating the legacy of World War II, while in Norway I visited the site where the Norwegian Operations Group based out of in the spring of 1945. NORSO was the only American combat operation in Norway during World War II, and helped hinder the return of German troops to aid in the defense of the Third Reich. 1/

We also visited the memorial to the team members who died when their B-24 Liberator crashed, seeking to join those who were able to parachute in. This was especially moving because one of the members of my team, Colonel Daniel Magruder, a special operations officer himself, found an unexpected tie to this mission â his relative paid the ultimate price as part of that crew It was a vivid reminder of the dedication of those men and the cost of war. 3/

This visit was especially meaningful for me, as my grandfather served in the NORSO mission. I take from it an inspiration and a model for the kind of partnership we and our allies are seeking to recreate in a world that once more demands our collective clarity, purpose, and dedication. 4/4

It was an honor to attend a third roundtable with our partners from the GCC and Jordan today, graciously hosted by Bahrainâs Ambassador, Sheikh Abdullah Al Khalifa. DoW values the relationship with these critical partners, who have stepped up over the past few months to lead in their own defense. We had a productive discussion about a range of topics, including the situation in the Middle East and how our partners can further underwrite regional security by increasing investment in their national defense capabilities.

It was great to have a very productive discussion with @rufoalice during my visit to France. Like her, I greatly value our candid, strategic, and respectful dialogue. France has long encouraged Europe to do more for its defense, and we are now working in that direction within the context of NATO 3.0. 1/

Ravie d'avoir pu m'entretenir à Deauville avec Elbridge Colby, sous-secrétaire américain à la guerre, à l'occasion des commémorations du Débarquement en Normandie.
Jâai rappelĂ© lâimportance de soutenir lâUkraine dans la phase qui sâouvre et alors que le prĂ©sident Zelensky a formulĂ© des propositions courageuses. Nous avons abordĂ© la situation au Proche-Orient et lâimportance de la rĂ©ouverture du dĂ©troit dâOrmuz dans le respect du droit international.
Nous avons enfin Ă©changĂ© sur la prĂ©paration du sommet de lâOTAN Ă venir. Nous sommes convenus de la nĂ©cessitĂ© que lâEurope prenne davantage ses responsabilitĂ©s pour sa propre dĂ©fense.
Dans un contexte international particuliÚrement tendu, maintenir un dialogue étroit avec nos alliés américains est essentiel.

I would also like to express our gratitude for the gracious hospitality of the French government and people during our visit to Normandy to commemorate D-Day and all the sacrifices our forebears made for our security and freedom. Our precious historical sitesâand most of all our honored deadâare honored and well-kept by our French allies. 2/2

I had the great honor on Saturday to serve as the senior civilian American representative at the International Ceremony commemorating the 82nd D-Day anniversary. It was a particular privilege, as the U.S. representative, to honor all of our brave allies that day, but especially our British and Canadian allies, who played the leading role at the nearby Juno and Sword Beaches. 1/

I concluded my remarks with a call to look forward: âOur purpose now must be to take our resolve from the legacy of Normandy â to look at our challenges realistically and seriously, to build our military strength individually and together, and to restore our home fronts so that they can, once again, supply overwhelming superiority in weapons and munitions.â 5/
