Today we remember the heartrending and tragic loss of our fellow Americans and honor the bravery and sacrifice of our first responders. For native New Yorkers, September 11th indelibly changed our home, country and world. We will never forget the courage and resilience Americans showed that day. America is and will always be the beacon of freedom and greatest force for good in this world.

I was deeply saddened to hear of the sudden passing of Senator Lindsey Graham, a true American patriot and proud South Carolinian. Whenever we spoke, Senator Graham was always sharp and to the point in a gracious and friendly manner only he could achieve. He brought conviction, his signature quick wit, and good humor to every conversation. A tireless champion of American foreign policy and national security, his leadership will leave a lasting mark on our country. My heartfelt condolences are with his family, friends, colleagues, and staff.

It was a pleasure meeting with Chilean Foreign Minister @MinPerezMac and Ambassador Ergas Heymann to discuss opportunities across telecom, energy, and minerals and mining.

250 years ago, our Founding Fathers declared that Americans would chart our own course, forging a future defined by financial and political independence. Leaders like Alexander Hamilton developed an American economic system which transformed the fledgling Republic into the most powerful and prosperous country in the history of the world. On our semiquincentennial, that engine of prosperity is carried forward by our nation's most financially savvy @POTUS, Donald Trump, to set the historic economic and national security agenda that drives @DFCgov’s mission. American Economic Statecraft is back.
