So proud of the amazing work to bring people together and promote peace and democracy through @ECAatState programs and exchanges. American leadership is vital on the global stage and over the last four years we have reinvigorated, renewed, and reimagined how America can successfully engage with the world. Grateful to serve the American people in this way. Onward!
At the heart of American diplomacy is people. Over the last four years, our people-to-people ties have strengthened the United States’ standing in the world and created a more secure homeland for the American people. Watch and learn more about how we brought people together and demonstrated global American leadership – from international education and English language learning to sports and music to professional exchanges to cultural heritage – both at home and abroad.

People are at the heart of U.S. diplomacy. Whether it’s an issue, idea, or exchange, our people-to-people ties are vital to our work to achieve more shared peace and prosperity everywhere.
I’ve traveled over a million miles in this role and everywhere I’ve gone, I’ve heard from people with a strong desire to work together with the United States. Because of the work we’ve done to bring countries together, we’ve advanced progress for people in America and around the world.

It was a pleasure to meet with you @DucroquetSamuel. The United States appreciates France’s leadership as host of the #Paris2024 Games, and we are grateful for your learnings and best practices as we host the world during this mega decade of international sporting events.
Extremely satisfied with the extensive discussions conducted with the @StateDept on the occasion of my visit to Washington DC. The Summer AND Winter games that 🇫🇷 and the 🇺🇸 will host within a 10y timeframe offer a unique opportunity for a structured cooperation between our two countries in the field of Sports. Special thanks to Undersecretary Lee Satterfield and her @SportsDiplomacy team for engaging in a very promising dialogue on both delivery and engagement issues. To be continued... #SportsDiplomacy

Good news! International education is an opportunity to welcome the best and brightest students to the U.S., create positive economic impact here at home, and foster cross cultural connections for foreign and American students alike. #OpenDoors
A record-breaking 1,126,690 international students studied in the U.S. for the 2023/24 academic year! Global demand for U.S. education is at an all-time high, reflecting 🇺🇸's appeal in higher education, research, and cultural exchange. #IEW2024
