We’re marking the first 100 days of the Trump Administration with real results — and new ways to share them.

100 Days of an America First State Department

In just 100 days, the Trump Administration and Secretary Rubio have delivered results through an America First foreign policy. 

Here’s a snapshot of what’s been accomplished so far. ⤵️

🌎 Delivering an America First Foreign Policy

• We reorganized the State Department to better perform our diplomatic mission, championed free speech, and secured the release of dozens of unjustly detained Americans in multiple countries.

🤝 Ensuring Fair Economic and Trade Relationships

• We advocated for over $64.8 billion in new deals for U.S. companies, secured critical minerals supply chains, and established trade-linked security pacts with Mexico and Canada.

🌐 Restoring U.S. Leadership

• We advanced U.S. leadership through energy, cyber, and nuclear diplomacy. We unleashed America's energy dominance, supported safe and secure nuclear energy in our region, and expanded cybersecurity partnerships to stand against the threat of Chinese telecoms.

🦺 Curbing Illegal Immigration and Fentanyl, Securing America’s Borders

• We reduced illegal immigration attempts by 95%, transferred criminal illegal immigrants to El Salvador, and designated violent cartels as Foreign Terrorist Organizations.

🛡️ Combating our Adversaries

• We stopped the flow of revenue to the Maduro regime and imposed tariffs on countries importing Venezuelan oil, launched a maximum pressure campaign on Iran, and held the Cuban regime accountable for its forced labor scheme.

🕊️ Promoting Lasting Peace:  

• We led peace talks with Russia and Ukraine, secured NATO defense spending increases, and established and maintained a six-week ceasefire in Gaza that led to the release of 38 hostages.

Expanding How We Share With You

To mark this milestone, we are excited to announce the launch of our official U.S. Department of State Substack!
