Children and young people in #Lebanon are being asked to bear a burden no child should have to carry. Hunger. Loss. Trauma. Homes and schools destroyed. Loved ones gone. Futures put on hold. Children must be at the heart of Lebanonโ€™s recovery. Together, we must rebuild more than what was destroyed. We must rebuild their futures. #ForEveryChild

An important moment today. Greenland, Denmark and the United States have signed an agreement strengthening security in the Arctic and North Atlantic. Itโ€™s been a bumpy ride. But here we are โ€“ with a deal in hand that we can all be very satisfied with. We share a long history. And we share a responsibility for the security of our region. Today, we take another important step together โ€“ with full respect for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Kingdom of Denmark and the Greenlandic peopleโ€™s right to self-determination. History binds us together. Our future demands that we stand together. ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ
