Useful discussion with Director General Grossi of @IAEAorg on the margins of the #NPTRevCon . The IAEA plays a critical role in advancing nuclear nonproliferation, safeguards, and peaceful uses. We should all support its important work.


Productive discussion with Slovenian Foreign Minister @TFajon in New York. The U.S. strongly supports Slovenia as a very well-qualified United Nations Security Council candidate. In our discussion, we emphasized the need to support Ukraine and hold Russia accountable for its brutal war.
