I love this take on the impact of exchange:
“For America to succeed in the next 50 years the way we’ve succeeded in the last 50, we will need a strong “supply chain” of leaders, institutions, and systems who embrace US values, train in US methods, and connect to US networks.”
In @dcexaminer, IREX President & CEO Aleksander Dardeli illustrates that exchange programs, workforce partnerships, and leadership networks are strategic tools for strengthening America’s long-term competitiveness.

Public diplomacy - China has stolen our playbook on how to shape the future. Smart piece by IREX CEO on the criticality of exchange.
So happy that the POTUS had picked amazing leaders @ECA_AS and @UnderSecPD to carry this fight to the Chinese.

Nigeria approaches this platform as a practical, results-oriented partnership. Since late 2025, cooperation with the United States has moved beyond dialogue to tangible outcomes, strengthening coordination, accountability, and our collective capacity to counter violent threats while upholding the protection of civilians.

At the direction of the President of the United States and the Secretary of War, and in coordination with Nigerian authorities, U.S. Africa Command conducted strikes against ISIS terrorists in Nigeria on Dec. 25, 2025, in Sokoto State.

.@POTUS “Tonight, at my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS Terrorist Scum in Northwest Nigeria, who have been targeting and viciously killing, primarily, innocent Christians, at levels not seen for many years, and even Centuries! I have previously warned these Terrorists that if they did not stop the slaughtering of Christians, there would be hell to pay, and tonight, there was. The Department of War executed numerous perfect strikes, as only the United States is capable of doing. Under my leadership, our Country will not allow Radical Islamic Terrorism to prosper. May God Bless our Military, and MERRY CHRISTMAS to all, including the dead Terrorists, of which there will be many more if their slaughter of Christians continues.
DONALD J. TRUMP
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA”
