Starting this Tuesday, I'll embark on a multi-stop, international trip to help advance a number of key U.S. defense priorities and partnerships around the world. (1/6)
I'll first visit Peterson Space Force Base in Colorado 🇺🇸 to meet with senior leaders and U.S. troops from @USNorthernCmd and @NORADCommand. We'll discuss our ongoing mission to defend the U.S. homeland and space domain. (2/6)
Then, I'll fly to Singapore 🇸🇬 to attend @IISS_org's Shangri-La Dialogue. This will be a very important opportunity to consult with Indo-Pacific leaders, and to reinforce the U.S. commitment to a #FreeAndOpenIndoPacific. (3/6)
Today @StateDept announced that the U.S. has reached an understanding with the Taliban on a reduction in violence in #Afghanistan. This is an important step in the #AfghanPeaceProcess to create a secure & stable Afghanistan.
Our @NATO allies and partners agree the best path forward in Afghanistan is a negotiated and conditions-based political settlement between all Afghans. The Taliban must demonstrate their commitment to a meaningful reduction in violence. #DefMin #WeAreNATO @ResoluteSupport
The U.S. and @NATO remain committed to ensuring Afghanistan never again becomes a safe-haven for terrorists to threaten the security of the U.S. & our allies. Should the Taliban reject the path of peace, we remain prepared to defend ourselves and our Afghan partners.
