Last February, I announced that the United States would establish an embassy in Solomon Islands. Now, that pledge is a reality. The United States is a Pacific country, and we are taking another important step forward in helping deliver for our people and for the region we share.

On my trip to Israel and the West Bank, I had the opportunity to sit down with and listen to Israelis and Palestinians. They play a critical role in reminding us what’s truly important—trying to make sure that each of us is treated with the dignity that we each deserve.

.@USAID provides equipment so #Ukraine’s heroic energy workers can repair and maintain heating systems. Since January 1 we've delivered 1,448 shut-off valves to 18 cities. These allow repairs to pipes and keep heat and hot water flowing to homes, hospitals, and schools.

Iranian Narges Mohammadi has been detained repeatedly since 1998, but that hasn’t stopped her advocacy. In 2022, she was sentenced to 74 lashes and 8 years on politically motivated “national security” charges, but still defends human rights from behind bars. #WithoutJustCause

To mark the second anniversary of the Burma military regime’s violent coup, the United States remains steadfast in our commitment to elevating and supporting the pro-democracy movement and its efforts to foster a more just and inclusive, democratic future Burma.
As we mark the second anniversary of the coup in Burma, DAS Melissa Brown and I paid a visit to the new @NUGMyanmar office in DC for a productive discussion with diverse stakeholders on supporting the pro-democracy movement and advancing inclusive democracy in Burma. -DJK

Yesterday, I announced that the United States will provide an additional $41 million to meet humanitarian needs in Somalia.
But I also made clear that we cannot do this alone. Others must bolster their humanitarian contributions and help save lives.

Reaffirmed our commitment to bolstering independent media with Palestinian civil society leaders—a key pillar for accountability and good governance. Working with Congress, we intend to make up to $2 million available to support journalists in the region, including Palestinians.
