Subject: Red Sea
I am reaching out to discuss recent developments in the Red Sea, as they represent a growing concern for international stability, trade security, and the interests of our nations. With the heightened risks impacting one of the world’s key maritime corridors, Portugal is eager to coordinate efforts with the United States to ensure a secure and reliable environment for our respective economies and allies.
Portugal recognizes the United States' significant role in maintaining security in the region, and we would welcome your perspective on potential next steps. We believe that a coordinated approach, particularly involving enhanced joint patrols, intelligence-sharing, and possibly a temporary security task force, could provide a strong deterrent and reassure commercial and strategic partners operating in the area. We are prepared to contribute resources, both naval and logistical, to support joint operations as needed. Additionally, should the U.S. have a specific strategic framework in mind, Portugal is open to aligning our actions to reinforce collective security. Please share any initial thoughts or plans you may be considering, and we can begin building a coordinated response.
Looking forward to your insights, and to establishing a robust partnership in securing this vital region.
Thank you for your cooperation and patience.
Secretary of State,
Luis Amado,
