For the 25th anniversary of 9/11, I took my fellow UN Security Council Ambassadors to the memorial in lower Manhattan. We reinforced our shared commitment to peace, security, and a world free from terror. Watch:

New York City has hosted our @UN Headquarters for decades & is the place many colleagues call home. So do I.
Twenty-five years ago, the heinous terrorist attacks on 9/11, an assault on humanity itself, claimed thousands of lives & left an enduring mark on our world.
On this solemn anniversary, we pay tribute to the survivors & honour the first responders who showed extraordinary courage & humanity.
My thoughts are with everyone who lost loved ones & with all the people of New York City.

El Niño will deliver a major blow to communities, economies & supply chains worldwide. Its local impacts may differ.
National Meteorological & Hydrological Services are the authoritative source of official warnings & locally relevant climate info.

UNICEF is the world’s largest procurer of ready-to-use therapeutic food (RUTF) - with the support of our donors.
Between 2003 and 2025, we procured and delivered a total of 8.7B sachets of RUTF globally, fueling recovery from severe acute malnutrition for millions of children.
A small sachet of food can save children’s lives.
How?
Watch this video to see how RUTF has saved the lives of millions of children over decades. #ForEveryChild

America and the world have lost a true gem in Dolly Parton.
Through her music, her faith, and her extraordinary generosity—including her Imagination Library and her support for UNICEF and children’s causes around the world—Dolly brought joy to millions.
She represented the very best of America.
Our prayers are with her family, friends, and countless fans around the world.

Much is at stake as the race for the next UN SG heats up. Appreciated the chance to share my in the @washingtonpost on these unfolding dynamics.
As the @UN confronts questions about its future role and capacity to deliver, strong U.S. leadership is more important than ever.
For the first time in its 80-year history, the United Nations may select a woman to serve as its secretary general.
The Trump administration is working to ensure the new leadership is in sync with its plans to continue cutting the U.N. budget. wapo.st/3SoacXu

Did you know that American companies get about as much in @UN contracts as the US pays in dues?

Very pleased to hear the announcement from @StateDept on its investment in @OES_org, an initiative from @EleanorCrookFdn and the CRI Foundation.
This new investment builds on the work of orgs like @UNICEF, putting us one step closer to ending the scourge of child malnutrition.

It’s been a week of mixed news in the fight against Ebola in the DRC and Uganda.
We have four promising vaccine candidates, while potential treatments are also being tested. This is genuinely good news – but they’re still months away.
In the short term, we’re depending on the public health response, and it’s struggling to keep up. Cases are now over 1,100 and the virus is spreading rapidly.
@UNICEF is on the frontlines, providing vital supplies, supporting contact tracing, and preparing neighboring countries for potential spread. Please consider supporting these vital efforts: ow.ly/HFvz50Zh45Y

Pleased to see an additional investment by the admin of $1 Billion into @WFP and @UNICEF.
Strong US leadership from @UnderSecretaryF and @USUNAmb paired with the @UN's operational scale is the world’s most effective tool for combating hunger and protecting vulnerable children.
🚨 Breaking: With help from @UnderSecretaryF and @USUNAmb @MichaelGWaltz, @USUN announces a major surge in humanitarian support.
Investing $800M in @WFP and $219M @UNICEF, the admin continues to partner closely with the @UN to deliver much needed relief.

The Ebola outbreak in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda continues to spread and remains a major concern. But we are seeing are some positives. We are making progress on vaccines, thanks to partners like @gavi, @CEPIvaccines, and @SerumInstIndia. And importantly, the U.S. and others are stepping up with significant contributions to frontline responders like@UNICEF.
There is still significant need. We need more PPE, medical supplies, tests, and staff to support contract tracing and community outreach.
The U.S. and others are stepping up. You can too. Please consider supporting UNICEF’s response: unicefusa.org/stories/unicef…

New outbreaks of two deadly, untreatable diseases mean we must remain vigilant about threats beyond our shores.
How America and the world respond to these outbreaks and learn real lessons from them will be the rea tests of our global health security in 2026 and beyond.
Here’s what you need to know about hantavirus and Ebola, plus four key lessons we're already learning: shotatlife.org/2026/05/21/tw…

Today's announcement by the Administration to donate an additional $1.8 billion in humanitarian funding to @UNOCHA is significant.

I echo the Secretary‑General’s thanks for the United States’ further commitment of $1.8 billion to the humanitarian community.
At a moment of rising needs and declining funding, this support will help save millions of lives.

On a recent visit to Nepal, I met a little girl named Sharmila suffering from severe acute malnutrition. @UNICEF ensured that she had access to Ready-To-Use-Therapeutic Food -- often known as PlumpyNut -- which contains the nutrition necessary to bring kids back from the brink of death.
Talking to her mom and the nurse, it will be a long road back to health for Sharmila, but it's a road made possible by UNICEF.
Through support from @unicef_nepal and @HelenKellerIntl, children like Sharmila are getting a second chance.
As BWC President @PeterMYeo saw firsthand, these hospitals providing interventions like nutrient-dense Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Food (RUTF) are saving lives.

I was saddened to hear of the passing of @unfoundation Founder and Chairman Ted Turner. Over my last decade with @BetterWorldOrg, Ted's belief and support of our mission has continued to serve as a guiding light for our advocacy.
My thoughts are with his family and friends.
