Recently, Kosovo secured its first-ever @FitchRatings sovereign credit rating with @USAID support. This milestone will attract foreign investment, reduce borrowing costs, increase access to global capital markets, and help accelerate economic growth.

The U.S. strongly condemns the attack today from Rwanda Defense Forces and M23 positions on the Mugunga camp for Internally Displaced Persons in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo. It is essential that all states respect each other’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.

When children are truly hungry, they stop crying – lacking the energy to do so. But RUTF, a lifesaving nutritional supplement, can help bring a child back from the brink. Today, I’m announcing our commitment of $200M for RUTF to help millions of children facing malnutrition.

Women make up nearly 1/2 of the global agricultural workforce in developing countries. Last week in Angola, I met with some of these vital women farmers. Thrilled to see @UN pass the US's resolution naming 2026 the International Year of the Woman Farmer.

Since war broke out in Sudan at least 23 aid workers have been killed. Heartbreaking to see that 2 @ICRC staff were killed today. Humanitarians must be able to safely provide lifesaving assistance to vulnerable people to meet urgent food, nutrition, health, and protection needs.

We've seen clear and demonstrable progress in getting more assistance into Gaza, but more needs to be done. We're pressing to make sure aid is actually getting to people in an effective way, and that it includes more than just food — water, sanitation, medical supplies.

In Sudan, nearly 5M people are at risk of famine, with both warring parties looting & blocking aid. The Sudanese army and Rapid Support Forces must allow sustained, unimpeded access so aid can reach those starving and the world avert a larger crisis.

We condemn the Georgian government’s advancement of Kremlin-inspired “foreign influence” legislation. It undermines the U.S.-Georgia relationship and will impact Georgia’s EU and NATO aspirations. We call on all to respect peaceful assembly and avoid escalation.

Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, & Pacific Islanders have an irreplaceable role in US history - not only have they enriched our country, but have overcome tremendous barriers to do so. Every May is an opportunity to celebrate and recognize #AANHPI communities and their stories.

The rich contributions of Jewish Americans are woven into the cultural fabric of American identity. This month & beyond, we honor their history and leadership, while reflecting on the alarming rise of antisemitism and all we must do to combat discrimination.
