Excellent @USGLC event in Seattle on 🇺🇸🇦🇺cooperation "beyond the pitch" before the USMNT match vs. the Socceroos. #FIFAWorldCup and other mega sporting events are more than celebrations of sport–they are strategic opportunities to deepen ties with partners around the world.

UFC has become a global phenomenon by embracing values that resonate far beyond the Octagon: excellence, discipline, opportunity, and meritocracy. Proud to launch a new Sports Diplomacy partnership with @ufc and grateful to host @danawhite for the signing of our MOU.

Strengthening border security is a top U.S. priority. @smithsonian and @StateDept’s Cultural Heritage Center recently led two law enforcement trainings for 300+ @CBP, @ICEgov, and @FBI officers to curb the illicit trafficking of antiquities from North Africa into the U.S.

Illicit trafficking of antiquities funds criminal networks. By training frontline officers to spot these risks, we’re keeping looted goods out of the U.S. market and helping keep our borders strong against crime.

This training by the interagency Cultural Antiquities Task Force reinforces U.S. leadership in protecting cultural heritage in Egypt, Sudan, Libya, Tunisia, Algeria, and Morocco. We remain committed to the rule of law and safeguarding our shared history.
