Today, I addressed the Belarusian military & officials. We must not allow our country to be dragged into Russia's war. It is crucial that we ensure all Russian troops exit Belarus & that we close our border with Russia. We must defend our sovereignty & protect our people.

Glad to announce that after the meeting I hosted with Recep Tayyip Erdoğan & SwedishPM, President Erdogan has agreed to forward #Sweden's accession protocol to the Grand National Assembly ASAP & ensure ratification. This is an historic step which makes all #NATO Allies stronger & safer.

It was an honor to speak at the first installment of Hudson Institute’s Presidential Speech Series! For more than 60 years, Hudson has shaped our public discourse and the minds of American thinkers, always reminding us that no matter what the future holds, America must lead the

Great event at Hudson Institute, powerful vision&strategy by Mike Pence. No to isolationism and to appeasement - both have been tried and proven wrong. Peace through strength - a strong US working w/Allies is our common interest. A special honor for a highlight on CEE-US rels!
