Before Bose became an industry leader, Dr. Amar Bose was a @FulbrightPrgrm scholar sharpening his skills abroad. 🎧 He turned that experience into revolutionary acoustics—powering tech for @NASA, the U.S. military, and music lovers worldwide. 🔗 Learn more: linkedin.com/feed/update/urn…

NFL + France = endless possibilities. We started with bringing a game to Paris and now we’re looking ahead with key businesses: more games, bigger partnerships, and a lasting sports connection between America and France.

President Trump is putting the U.S.-Norway partnership to work for the American people — and Ambassador Kavoukjian is ready to deliver on that mission. Through our exchange programs, we're building the next generation of Norwegian leaders who choose America as their partner. Strong allies. Clear ROI. ✨ 🇺🇸🇳🇴

2026 FIFA World Cup in the U.S. was epic! 🇺🇸⚽ We’re not done yet - the inaugural FIFA Women’s Club World Cup comes to the U.S. in 2028. @gothamfc will be the first of hopefully several U.S. teams in the tournament. We love sharing American hospitality and our world-class sports infrastructure. Another win for U.S. sports diplomacy! 🇺🇸✨
Every team to have qualified for the 2028 FIFA Women's Club World Cup so far! 🏆

America is powering the global combat sports evolution. 🇺🇸 🥊
America is the undisputed leader in combat sports. 🇺🇸 🤼 This month, a @StateDept #IVLP exchange brought sports leaders from 48 countries to the U.S. to experience American leadership in action—from world-class tech to elite athlete development. The relationships built by this program will foster new collaborations and help expand the global reach of the U.S. combat sports industry.

Great opportunity to connect with international exchange leaders and advocate for American diplomacy. My question for every exchange program is simple: What does this deliver for the United States? The program’s purpose must be clear: to advance American interests and deliver results at home. 🇺🇸✨
