January 11, 2021 Dear Americans in Singapore, Our country is blessed with pluralistic democracy. The American community in Singapore is richer thanks to the diversity of your political views. This said, the violent attack on the U.S. Capitol was shocking. The images I woke up to on Thursday shook me as they did millions of Americans and so many across the globe. They were a vivid reminder of the fragility of any democracy, including one as deep-rooted as ours. They also reminded us of the constant work needed to achieve a more perfect Union. I have faith in America and in the resilience of U.S. institutions. I know that, together, we will emerge stronger.
