Good to see Spanish Foreign Minister Albares today. We talked about preparations underway for the NATO Washington Summit, and the importance of our continued cooperation, as essential Allies, to support Ukraine and work toward a ceasefire in Gaza as part of a hostage deal.

Today, the United States is announcing a $400 million package of weapons and equipment to support the brave people of Ukraine.  The United States will continue to stand with Ukraine in the fight against Russia’s aggression.

To each and every person in Diplomatic Security Service, we are humbled and inspired by your service. And to the families who’ve lost a father, a wife, a brother – we can never thank you enough. But we can – and will – continue working every day to be worthy of their extraordinary sacrifice.

Wishing a happy Easter to Orthodox Christians around the world.

Great to join Senator Mitt Romney at the McCain Institute’s Sedona Forum to talk about the importance of U.S. leadership in the world. Our commitment to an engaged America is more important than ever as we address challenges in the Middle East, Ukraine, with China and beyond.
