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. ✨ 🇺🇸🇳🇴

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. 🇺🇸✨
