U.S. Ambassador to Singapore

Secretary Hegseth laid it out plainly: peace is our goal—but peace requires preparation. The United States isn’t looking for conflict. But we won’t look away from threats either.

China’s escalating military posture is real—and increasingly imminent. Secretary Hegseth called on all of us in the Indo-Pacific to invest in our collective security because the cost of doing too little is far greater.

The U.S. is all in. The Indo-Pacific is the priority theater. We stand ready to work alongside our allies and partners to keep the region open, peaceful, and free.

This week at VinExpo Asia we’re celebrating the wide range of great American wines you can find in Singapore. Cheers to expanding trade and strengthening our economic ties!

On this Memorial Day, we pause to recognize and honor the extraordinary service and sacrifice of those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. Their unwavering commitment to duty and country has safeguarded the freedoms we hold dear.

Their dedication will always be remembered, and their legacy will endure.

The United States extends its deep appreciation to Senior Minister Teo Chee Hean on the occasion of his retirement from politics. Over the years, SM Teo has been a consistent advocate for regional stability and a valued partner in strengthening 🇺🇸🇸🇬 ties. His leadership and steady diplomacy have contributed greatly to a resilient and forward-looking partnership. We wish him all the best in his next chapter.

The United States congratulates Minister Ng Eng Hen on his retirement.

Under his leadership, our defense cooperation with Singapore reached new heights - from strategic dialogues to regional security initiatives. He has been a steadfast partner in advancing peace in the region. We look forward to continued strong ties in the years ahead.

Congratulations to Singapore’s new Cabinet under the leadership of Prime Minister Wong! The United States looks forward to working closely with the new government to continue deepening our strategic partnership to make both 🇺🇸🇸🇬 stronger, safer, and more prosperous.

At the American Chamber of Commerce Singapore’s 52nd Annual General Meeting, I shared a clear message: American businesses don’t just drive profits and investments in Singapore’s economy -they also deliver impact in local communities through world class corporate social responsibility. The 🇺🇸🇸🇬 relationship is strong because it’s built on shared values of excellence and free enterprise.

American defense companies lead in cutting-edge technology and investing in innovation. It’s a clear example of how our security and prosperity go hand in hand. The 🇺🇸🇸🇬 partnership continues to grow - on land, at sea, and in business.
