I’m still thinking about my tour of Gwangjang Market in Seoul last week. I wanted to share what I saw, learned… and ate.

One of the best parts of traveling abroad is meeting the dedicated Embassy staff, military members, and their families. To everyone who goes above and beyond for their country, thank you for your service.

In difficult times, it’s important to find peace and community. As I lit the candle today to mark Vesak with our staff and Buddhist leaders, I thought of the critical role faith plays in healing and reflection.

한옥 양식의 🇺🇸주한미국대사관저 하비브하우스부터 덕수궁까지! 한국 대통령 취임식 축하사절단을 이끌고 방문한 세컨드 젠틀맨 더글라스 엠호프 대표는 🇰🇷의 풍부한 문화와 유구한 역사에 대해 배울 수 있음에 감사했습니다. From the 🇺🇸 Ambassador’s hanok style residence to Deoksugung Palace, @secondgentleman loved learning about 🇰🇷‘s rich culture and history through its landmarks.

I love visiting places that bring communities together. Gwangjang Market, a famous market in Seoul known for its food, textiles and handmade goods, did not disappoint!

It was an honor to visit the War Memorial of Korea and remember the sacrifices made by Korean and U.S. forces.

On behalf of the Biden-Harris Administration, we congratulate President Yoon on his historic inauguration. The United States looks forward to working with you to build an even stronger partnership between our two countries.

We’re ready for take off and honored to be representing the United States at the inauguration of President-elect Yoon. See you soon, South Korea 🇰🇷

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms, mom-figures, and especially our own Momala.

As we look ahead to Mother's Day, I'm thinking of the incredible strength of moms, stepmoms and all our mom-figures - especially my mom, who has always been there right when I needed her.

So great to see the @teamusa Wheelchair Rugby team again! I cheered for you in Japan last summer and can’t wait to root for you during World Championships this year.

From discussing the importance of religious traditions with Ambassador Hussain to hearing from White House staff about their experiences, I’ve felt so honored to celebrate Ramadan with members of the Muslim community this month. As Ramadan comes to a close, Eid Mubarak!
