Jens Stoltenberg, secretary-general of NATO, said he believes President Donald Trump remains committed to the 70-year-old military alliance
Jens Stoltenberg, secretary-general of NATO, said Sunday he believes President Donald Trump remains committed to the 70-year-old military alliance.
Speaking on “Fareed Zakaria GPS” in the aftermath of a NATO summit in London, Stoltenberg said, “I am confident that the U.S. will remain committed to NATO for several reasons. First of all, that is something the president has expressed, meeting the 28 other NATO leaders in London this week.“Stoltenberg, a former prime minister of Norway, went on to say he saw deep support for NATO within the United States: “Second, I visited the U.S.
“We don’t list foes. We don’t define Russia as an enemy,” Stoltenberg said. “What we see is a more assertive Russia, which has used military force against neighbor Ukraine. We see a more unpredictable security landscape with the rise of terrorism, of ISIS. We see cyberthreats. We see the global balance of power shifting with the rise of China. And in uncertain times, we need strong international institutions like NATO.
The North Atlantic Treaty Organization was founded in 1949 as a mutual-defense organization to protect the nations of Western Europe against the Soviet Union and its allies in Eastern Europe. The original members were Belgium, Britain, Canada, Denmark, France, Iceland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, and the United States.
