CERN (the European Organization for Nuclear Research) is a European organization, to which the United States is an Observer and has made substantial multi-billion dollar investments over the years. CERN operates the world's largest particle physics laboratory. Located on the Swiss-French border near Geneva, it uses massive, complex scientific instruments to accelerate subatomic particles to nearly the speed of light and smash them together to reveal the universe's fundamental building blocks.

The U.S. Government is Committed to Protecting American Innovation.

The National Intellectual Property Rights Coordination Center and the Intellectual Property Organization signed a Memorandum of Understanding to strengthen global IP enforcement — and it's a big win for American businesses, innovators, and creators.

💡 Why does this matter? Intellectual property rights are the backbone of American innovation and economic growth. When IP rights go unprotected or can’t be enforced, it's American businesses, innovators and creators who pay the price — through lost revenue, stolen ideas, and unfair competition.

🔒 What does this MOU do? This agreement deepens cooperation between the U.S. government and WIPO to crack down on IP violations, share best practices, and build stronger enforcement frameworks — both at home and around the world.

🏭 Who benefits? From small business owners and independent innovators and creators to major American industries, stronger IP enforcement means a level playing field, more jobs, and a stronger economy for all Americans.

The United States remains firmly committed to defending the rights of those who innovate, create, and build — because protecting American intellectual property means increasing American prosperity.

The U.S. is implementing a new model of humanitarian assistance to maximize the life-saving impact per dollar.

The United States has provided $3.8 billion in humanitarian assistance through United Nations OCHA in 2026 that will shield tens of millions from hunger, disease, and conflict. The U.S. cannot—and should not—shoulder this alone. Now is the time for others to step up.
