The Transatlantic Defense Industry Access Forum is back — and this time, we’re engaging leaders and companies from 🇵🇱 Poland, 🇺🇦 Ukraine, and 🇮🇹 Italy. Partnering with the @CommerceGov, @USAmbNATO Matthew Whitaker will lead the next TDIAF, connecting innovative U.S. defense companies directly with senior government, @NATO, and industry leaders across some of Europe’s most important defense markets. ✅ The last forum delivered results: companies built new transatlantic relationships, pursued deals and investment opportunities, and heard directly from NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, defense ministers, ambassadors, and other senior leaders. ✅ This next forum will build on that momentum, with a particular focus on U.S. companies delivering capabilities in unmanned systems, counter-UAS, and deep precision strikes. Through engagements in Poland and Italy — including a dedicated Ukraine-focused program in Krakow — participants will gain direct access to decision makers and potential partners shaping Europe’s defense future. ✅ The goal is simple: open doors for American companies, strengthen the U.S. defense industrial base, and turn greater European defense investment into win-win opportunities for American and Allied innovation and industry. Registration is now open, and space is limited. Sign up today: events.trade.gov/en/TradeGov…

Strengthening accountability is at the heart of our mission at NATO. Chargé d'Affaires Oudkirk met with Department of War Inspector General Platte B. Moring III to advance our shared commitment to building robust anti-fraud and corruption investigative capacity across the Alliance.

🇺🇸 and 🇩🇪 aircraft fly over NATO Allied naval and coast guard vessels in the North Atlantic near Iceland as part of exercise Northern Viking. Exercising together, Allies 🇨🇦🇵🇱🇱🇹🇫🇷🇮🇸 demonstrate @NATO is ready to safeguard the strategic air and maritime corridors connecting the United States and Europe.

America’s negotiator-in-chief @POTUS has sealed the deal again. The result? A safer America and a stronger @NATO in the Arctic. Looking forward to joining @NATO Allies to continue the important work of securing the Arctic today and for future generations.

“We want a strong and powerful military. And ideally, we don’t have to use it.” – President Trump The 2026 Wildwood Air Show in New Jersey showcased U.S. military aircraft capabilities through a series of planned maneuvers designed to highlight speed, agility, and operational employment.

Happy 79th Birthday to @usairforce! Since 1947, American Airmen have owned the skies. Securing air dominance and standing shoulder-to-shoulder with our NATO Allies, you project strength and protect freedom worldwide

President Trump’s call for NATO Allies to step up continues to yield concrete results. Allies have now funded more than $10B in American equipment for Ukraine’s defense through PURL and Foreign Military Sales.

Happy Constitution Day! Our founding principles shape everything we do and make our freedoms today possible.

💥 and 🎂. Nine years of training hard and standing ready. @NATO Forward Land Forces Battle Group-Poland marked its 9th anniversary at Bemowo Piskie Training Area, building lethality, interoperability, and strong relationships among Allies. This is what greater European responsibility for conventional defense looks like in practice: capable Allies training together, ready to fight together, with the United States standing firmly alongside them.

This week, America brought its new resilience strategy to NATO. This is an example of how Allies can strengthen readiness, reduce vulnerabilities, and reinforce collective defense across the Alliance. whitehouse.gov/releases/2026…

The United States will not stand for efforts by state actors to finance terrorist activities and engage in acts of violence – especially on American soil.

It’s called Operation Atlantic City 26 – but there’s a reason why it was in the Arctic, not New Jersey. During World War II, the United States established a base called “Atlantic City” on Jan Mayen, a remote Norwegian volcanic island in the Arctic. More than 80 years later, American, Norwegian, and British forces are training there together. Strong Allies are partners, not dependencies.

Today @USNATO Chargé d'Affaires Oudkirk, U.S. Military Representative to NATO Lieutenant General Taylor, and NATO Deputy Secretary General Shekerinska paid respect to the victims of the 9/11 terrorist attack. #NeverForget 25 years ago, the Free World, including our Allies @NATO, united in defense of freedom and proved that such acts of cowardice would not go unanswered.

We will never forget.

Twenty-five years ago, evil attacked our homeland. Nearly 3,000 Americans never made it home. Firefighters, police officers, first responders, service members, and ordinary Americans answered the call with extraordinary courage. We honor their lives. We remember their sacrifice. We will never forget. God bless the fallen, their families, and the United States of America.

We will never forget.

President Trump is committed to having the world’s strongest and most technologically advanced military, supported by capable Allies and partners. That’s why U.S. Marines exercise daily with NATO Allies. Recently, they completed Exercise Burmese Chase 26 at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina. This annual U.S.-led, multilateral training exercise, which integrates ground and air fires, infantry tactics, and naval gunfire, will enhance Allied combat readiness and interoperability.
