What an honor to host HRH Crown Prince Salman of Bahrain at the Pentagon. We discussed ways to deepen our robust defense cooperation in support of shared interests and a prosperous and secure Middle East. Bahrain is a gracious host to U.S. warfighters.

It was an honor to meet with my German counterpart, Minister Pistorius.   We discussed Germany’s leadership on the game-changing, historic commitment by NATO allies to spend 5% of GDP on defense.   We agreed that our allies must invest in the transatlantic industrial base to build a more lethal, ready NATO.

Great discussion today with MSO/VSO leaders about restoring the warrior ethos in our ranks. We are refocusing on readiness, standards, accountability, meritocracy, and supporting our military families. Their important work is vital to our mission.

Today, I hosted Israeli Prime Minister @netanyahu to honor the historic success of Operation Midnight Hammer and to celebrate Israel's special partnership with the United States.

Happy Independence Day, fellow Patriots! I’m grateful to live in a country where we have true freedom — safeguarded and purchased by our warriors, past and present. Long live the American Republic, especially those who protect her.

Great meeting today with Indian Minister of External Affairs @drsjaishankar. Thank you, Mr. Minister, for all you do to strengthen U.S.-India relations, especially our defense partnership. I salute our two great democracies’ cooperation in securing a free and open Asia-Pacific.

To our warfighters and the American taxpayers, this is what we did on this HISTORIC week🇺🇸
