NATO is only as strong and capable as all 32 Allies make it.

Thanks to President Trump, we have seen great progress on ‪@NATO‬ defense spending — but we need all Allies to step up. Our future security and stability depends on it.

Now is the time for Allies to contribute more to defense spending and make NATO stronger. Secretary Rubio is advancing President Trump's call for increased spending to 5% of GDP while meeting with NATO Allies this week.

🇺🇸🤝🇺🇦 Under the leadership of President Donald J. Trump, the U.S. and Ukraine have entered into a historic agreement launching a first-of-its-kind partnership for the reconstruction and long-term economic success of Ukraine.

The U.S.-Ukraine Reconstruction Investment Fund is a fully collaborative partnership between our nations that BOTH the United States and Ukraine will benefit from.

President Trump envisioned this partnership between Americans and Ukrainians to show both sides’ commitment to lasting peace and prosperity in Ukraine. It also promises long-term returns for both the U.S. and Ukraine, strengthening our ties.

No state, company, or person who financed or supplied the Russian war machine will be allowed to benefit from the reconstruction of Ukraine, including participation in projects supported by fund resources.

Through the Partnership for Global Infrastructure and Investment (PGI), the United States is working to help expand the Lobito Corridor trade route that links Angola, Zambia, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. This flagship project, anchored in core rail investments, is a transformative economic corridor that connects the region. The project also accelerates trade and the growth of key sectors supporting the economic diversification and development priorities of African leaders.

🚆 Faster Access to Markets: A more direct route to ports and markets reduces transportation times and helps farmers get their produce to customers faster.

🚢 More Export Opportunities: By linking the Atlantic and Indian oceans, the Lobito Corridor will open new export routes, giving farmers access to new markets.

📦 More Agribusiness Investments: The Lobito Corridor will attract investments in agribusiness, including processing facilities and storage units, boosting the value chain for agricultural products.

🌾 Reduced Crop Loss: Using the corridor will reduce the time goods spend in transit, minimizing spoilage, and boost farmers’ incomes by ensuring more fresh produce reaches the market.

💪 Stronger Supply Chains: Upgraded logistics networks will make it easier to move items like seeds and fertilizers to farms and finished products to markets.
