BOSTON, MASS. (August 6, 2024) – With the help of New England Aquarium sea turtle rescue and rehabilitation staff and Senator Edward J. Markey, five endangered and threatened sea turtles are back in ocean waters off Cape Cod after fully recovering from their life-threatening injuries.

Secretary Blinken Answers Press Questions on U.S.-Africa Leaders Summit
Washington, D.C., Dec. 15, 2022
Walter E. Washington Convention CenterSECRETARY BLINKEN: Well, good evening, everyone. Good to see you all.

The reality is that the United States and African nations cannot deliver on any of the fundamental aspirations of our people – we can’t solve any of the big challenges that we face – if we don’t work together. So our approach is about what America can do with African nations and people, not for them. And that’s what this summit, the U.S.-Africa Leaders Summit, has really been all about.
