Ruth Bajada

I was glad to meet today @OAS_official Assistant Secretary General @Lauraggils.

We discussed plenty, notably including our strong EU-OAS cooperation in support of democracy, human rights, and multilateral dialogue across the Americas. We look forward to working together.

Ruth the judge 🤝 Ruth the diplomat. An honor to share a name with this trailblazer!

Great tour at the Supreme Court this afternoon. Courts are the foundation of democracy, and dialogue between our legal systems strengthens the rules-based global order.

Great to meet alumni of @JMU’s EU Policy Studies program in Italy!

Much to be optimistic about in 🇪🇺🇺🇸 ties: deep trade/investment, innovation & digi cooperation, strong people2people ties, and Europe stepping up defense.

I also shared tips for future diplomats — we need you!

Perfect fall weather to enjoy the White House Fall Garden Tour this past weekend. 🍂

It is always exciting to see up close what many Europeans will only see on their screens. The "People's House" was quite a beauty against the blue sky.

A diplomat's take on The Diplomat: more accurate than you might think (the backchannels, the late-night calls, the negotiations with your own side). I just wish real-world diplomacy moved at the same pace. Season 4 is off to an interesting start. Thanks for the preview @Netflix!
