A different kind of heavyweight diplomacy in action at the @NationalZoo! 🇺🇸🐘 Meeting the National Zoo’s first elephant calf in 25 years, Linh Mai, highlights American scientific excellence and world-class conservation tech. More examples of American leadership.

Thank you, #BridgeUSA sponsors, for joining the recent Open House! Your partnership turns American workplaces, classrooms, and homes into places where diplomacy happens. Let's keep building exchanges that reflect the best of America. 🇺🇸✨

Great opportunity to connect with international exchange leaders and advocate for American diplomacy. My question for every exchange program is simple: What does this deliver for the United States? The program’s purpose must be clear: to advance American interests and deliver results at home. 🇺🇸✨

Honored to sign the extension of our Cultural Property Agreement with Greece! It keeps looted antiquities away from traffickers and gets them back where they belong. Ευχαριστώ, Greece! 🇺🇸🇬🇷

An incredible speech by @SecRubio with an iconic background.

One of the best parts of the job is meeting the people behind our programs. During UNGA, I sat down with seven US exchange alumni whose experiences took them into careers in super intelligence, technology, energy, education, national security, and business. Our exchange programs produce results for the United States long after the plane lands back home. 🗽🇺🇸

A meaningful meeting with Vietnamese alumni leading in international relations, economic policy, and education. 🇺🇸🇻🇳 From Fulbright to IVLP to Ford Foundation, these exchange alumni have witnessed Vietnam's remarkable transformation since the war. @ECAatState exchanges build relationships — connect the people shaping Vietnam's future and advancing American interests abroad. Educational cooperation. Cultural diplomacy. A stronger U.S.-Vietnam partnership. 🇺🇸🇻🇳

Thank you, Ambassador Wicks, for joining this inspiring exchange. We met with students at the Diplomatic Academy of Vietnam and DAV President Nguyen Hung Son to talk about expanding U.S.-Vietnam educational ties. 🇺🇸🇻🇳 As one of the first Vietnamese institutions to teach American history and culture, DAV remains a key partner. Expanding these academic links opens valuable opportunities for U.S. students, schools, and businesses.

American educational excellence is a driving force behind global economic growth. 🇺🇸🇻🇳 Excellent sit-down with Vice Minister Pham Quang Hung on expanding U.S. university partnerships, STEM programs, and English training in Vietnam. Exporting top-tier American education opens massive opportunities for U.S. institutions, builds a skilled workforce, and deepens our strategic economic ties.
