On behalf of the Government and People of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, I extend warmest greetings and heartfelt congratulations to the Government and People of the United States of America on the occasion of your 249th Independence Day.
The Fourth of July stands as a powerful symbol of liberty, resilience, and democratic ideals. As President Ronald Reagan once stated:
“America is a shining city upon a hill whose beacon light guides freedom-loving people everywhere.”
This enduring commitment to liberty and justice has positioned the United States as a source of inspiration and leadership across the globe.
Trinidad and Tobago deeply values the longstanding bonds of friendship and mutual respect shared with the United States. Our nations are united by shared democratic principles, vibrant diaspora ties, and ongoing cooperation in areas of security, education, trade, and cultural exchange.
As we look ahead, we remain committed to strengthening this partnership in the spirit of peace, prosperity, and mutual advancement.
May this celebration of independence be a time of national pride, reflection, and renewed unity for all Americans, and may God always bless your nation.
Happy Fourth of July 2025, America.
