John Hume was a man of courage whose commitment to peace was unshakeable. A political & civil rights giant who was so instrumental in bringing peace to Northern Ireland.
He will be dearly missed by so many in 🇬🇧🇮🇪🇺🇸&beyond. I send my deepest condolences to his family & loved ones

In 2018, the @foreignoffice committed to removing all Avoidable Single Use Plastics from its nearly 300 posts around the world by the end of 2020.
On the 50th anniversary of #EarthDay, I am proud to announce that @UKinUSA has reached this milestone 9 months ahead of schedule.

The UK is leading the way to prevent a second wave of coronavirus.
In total, 🇬🇧 has pledged £744 million to the global fight against coronavirus, particularly in developing countries where they may lack the healthcare systems to track and halt the virus.

Happy Easter! I have fond memories of the White House Easter Egg Roll when we first lived in DC.
This year’s celebrations are different, but we must continue social distancing until such fun activities are possible again.
Especially thankful to health workers keeping us safe!

Fantastic news that North Macedonia has joined @NATO today as the 30th member.

US Authorities announced yesterday that precautionary travel restrictions in relation to COVID-19 would be extended to the UK. From 11:59pm ET on 16 March, it won’t be possible for many UK nationals to enter the US.
Therefore, we advise against all but essential travel to the US.
It was wonderful to engage with @NACoTweets leaders from all around the US last night.
Counties are our valued partners and we are so grateful for all that they do for UK citizens living, working and holidaying across the US.
Thank you @UKinUSA for hosting @NACoTweets this evening and welcoming us on #British soil to enjoy the Ambassador’s residence. Your recognition of local government’s importance was appreciated. Happy to have you as an ally. 🇺🇸 🏴
The UK is leading the way to a low carbon future. Tonight the Embassy will host a panel discussion in which experts from @beisgov, @Microsoft and @Ginkgo will discuss the approach from the standpoint of businesses, governments and individuals.
