Remembering the 25th anniversary of 9/11: President Donald J. Trump stood with first responders, Gold Star families, and the Tunnel to Towers Foundation to honor the Americans who ran toward the fire on September 11, 2001. At his side was a 21-foot steel beam recovered from the wreckage of the South Tower — carried more than 10,500 miles on Tunnel to Towers’ Steel Across America tour as a living reminder of the courage that rose from the ruins and our duty to Never Forget.

Mauritius’s National Coast Guard: Ready for action!

The United States is proud to continue investing in Mauritius’s maritime security – not only by providing equipment, but also by building the technical expertise needed to keep it operational for years to come.

Over the past two weeks, approximately 16 Mauritius National Coast Guard technical personnel worked side by side with U.S.-supported trainers to repair, maintain, and restore to full operational readiness three patrol boats donated by the United States in 2010.

Today, at Caudan Waterfront in Port Louis, U.S. Embassy Chargé d’Affaires Craig Halbmaier joined Commissioner of Police Rampersad Sooroojebally and National Coast Guard Commandant Captain Binoop to mark the completion of the training and hand over approximately $25,000 in specialized parts and equipment to the National Coast Guard. The donation builds on an earlier $100,000 U.S. contribution of parts, and other support since the three vessels were first donated.

“Our partnership is built on long-term sustainability, not just one-off deliveries. When Mauritius strengthens its capacity to safeguard its territorial waters against transnational threats, the entire region becomes safer and more prosperous,” Chargé d’Affaires Halbmaier said.

From combating illicit trafficking and illegal, unregulated, and unreported fishing to maritime piracy, capable crews and mission-ready vessels are essential to keeping the Indian Ocean safe and secure.

The United States is proud to stand alongside Mauritius as an enduring maritime security partner.

Follow the Money! Fighting Financial Crime and Drug Trafficking Together!

The United States worked with the Mauritian government to send five Mauritian officials from the Financial Crimes Commission, Financial Intelligence Unit, Mauritius Police Force, and Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions to a specialized training program at the U.S. State Department’s International Law Enforcement Academy (ILEA) in Gaborone, Botswana.

They learned new skills and best practices to investigate and counter drug trafficking, money laundering, asset recovery, terrorism financing, cybercrime, access to international financial records, and effective cooperation between prosecutors and investigators in a weeklong course led by expert instructors from the U.S. Department of Justice Office of Overseas Prosecutorial Development, Assistance and Training.

The training also explored the link between illicit money laundering and violence, equipping participants with strategies to combat both and to recover criminal proceeds.

🤝 The United States is proud to work alongside Mauritius to strengthen law enforcement cooperation and combat transnational crime.

Follow us as the cooperation continues.
