The Secretary-General of NATO has expressed strong confidence in the unwavering commitment of the United States to the alliance. During a press briefing, he emphasized that there are no intentions for the U.S. to withdraw from NATO, asserting that the nation remains fully engaged with the organization.
The NATO Chief acknowledged the United States' focus on global affairs, particularly in the Indo-Pacific region. He remarked that it is crucial for the stability of the planet that NATO continues to work together effectively.
In a joint press conference held in Brussels with the Ukrainian Foreign Minister, the NATO Secretary-General commended the role of the United States in facilitating peace negotiations between Russia and Ukraine. He stressed the importance of ensuring that any ceasefire or peace agreement is sustainable, highlighting that the conflict extends beyond regional boundaries, with involvement from nations such as North Korea, China, and Iran.
