US Secretary of State Marco Rubio emphasized the US's unwavering support for NATO during a meeting in Brussels, instructing member nations to double their defense spending. While recent comments from President Trump had led to doubts about US commitment, Rubio sought to clarify that the US remains an active ally. He addressed concerns over NATO's future amidst tensions with Russia and emphasized the importance of unity within the alliance, urging nations to enhance their collective defense capabilities.
The United States is as active in NATO as it has ever been. President Trump has made clear he supports NATO. We're going to remain in NATO.
Some of this hysteria and hyperbole that I see in the global media and some domestic media about NATO is unwarranted.
We know that the United States is a staunch ally in NATO. But that commitment comes with an expectation.
European officials are planning for a scenario where they no longer have to rely on the US to defend themselves against Russia.
