The 305 is always great for connecting with Latin America and the Caribbean and its diaspora.

Hoy tuve una productiva reunión con la general Richardson en U.S. Southern Command en Miami ☀️ para conversar sobre la sólida asociación militar 🇺🇸🇨🇱. #SociosParaUnFuturoMejor
Great to be at U.S. Southern Command for the Western Hemisphere Chiefs of Mission conference where U.S. ambassadors + other senior gov't leaders are discussing ways to bolster economic integration & competitiveness in support of regional security. Economic security is national security. -BAN
I’m in Miami to represent Department of State at @SouthCOM’s conference for senior diplomats in the Americas, where I'll emphasize our diplomatic interest in collaborating across government to advance sustainable economic growth in support of national security.
