Secretary Marco Rubio @SecRubio - As @POTUS said, "True success comes from having the confidence and the courage to prove the doubters wrong."
That's exactly what we did this week with our Indo-Pacific partners. We are strengthening old friendships and pioneering new industries to forge an Indo-Pacific that is richer, safer, and more peaceful than ever before.

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth @SecWar - Great meeting with Defense Minister Koizumi today. The U.S.-Japan Alliance remains vital to the security of the Asia-Pacific, and I welcome Japan’s recent commitment to increase its defense spending.
Together, we can achieve Peace through Strength.

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth @SecWar - Video: Earlier today, at the direction of President Trump, the Department of War carried out a lethal kinetic strike on yet another narco-trafficking vessel operated by a Designated Terrorist Organization (DTO) in the Eastern Pacific. 
This vessel, like all the others, was known by our intelligence to be involved in illicit narcotics smuggling, was transiting along a known narco-trafficking route, and carrying narcotics. Four male narco-terrorists were aboard the vessel—and killed—during the strike, which was conducted in international waters. No U.S. forces were harmed in this strike.
The Western Hemisphere is no longer a safe haven for narco-terrorists bringing drugs to our shores to poison Americans. The Department of War will continue to hunt them down and eliminate them wherever they operate.
