Extending heartfelt condolences to the family, friends, and loved ones of those killed, injured, or displaced by the earthquake in southern Tibet, where temperatures have dropped below freezing. We stand with Tibetan and other communities who were impacted and wish them a speedy…

Honored to join @StateSEAS & her stellar team in marking the end of Hannukah. Today is a powerful reminder of their vital work in combatting antisemitism around the world. We must stand united against hatred in all its forms. Chag Hanukkah Sameach!
Glad to have connected with @KZAmbUS Ambassador Ashikbayev in Washington last month on 🇺🇸 & 🇰🇿 cooperation, including promoting media freedom, combatting domestic violence, and ensuring protection of human rights for all.

Sending well wishes for the start of 2025! #HappyNewYear
President Carter’s impact on U.S. foreign policy is enduring. From advancing human rights globally to creating the first @StateDept human rights and humanitarian affairs bureau, his legacy is an important reminder that Americans’ freedom & security are connected to a more just &…
President Carter showed us what could be achieved through tireless diplomacy and dedication to the pursuit of peace, democracy, and human rights.
The U.S. is sanctioning Bidzina Grigoris Dze Ivanishvili, the founder and honorary chairman of Georgian Dream. His actions have enabled human rights abuses and undermined the democratic and European future of the Georgian people for the benefit of the Russian Federation.
A joyful #HappyKwanzaa to all celebrating over the next week. May your celebrations be filled with family, community, and unity.
Wishing all those celebrating the start of the Festival of Lights, a time of resilience, faith, and the triumph of light over darkness, a #HanukkahSameach.
Merry Christmas to all celebrating around the world. Sending warmest wishes for a merry and bright holiday season with family and friends.
