Vitacker’s choice is a surprise to US allies, as he has no experience with foreign or national security policy.
The US Senate approved the candidacy of former acting prosecutor General Matthew Witaker in a US ambassador’s post to NATO. Politico reported this on Wednesday, April 2.
The decision was made on Tuesday – 52 senators supported the appointment, while 45 spoke against.
Choosing a Whitaker in November was a surprise to US allies, as he had no experience with foreign or national security policy. It is expected that in a new position he will advance Donald Trump’s initiatives, aimed at increasing military spending of NATO member countries.
Trump had previously discussed the US obligation to the collective security of the alliance, but during the Senate hearing, the writer assured that NATO’s American devotion remains “unshakable and iron.”
The vote, according to his statement, was delayed for more than 25 hours due to Democrat’s protest Senator Corey Baker, who performed at the Session Hall, criticizing Trump and Republicans’s management policy in Congress.
Some media have reported that the new US administration may consider a decline in this role as part of a broader removal from Europe.
However, recent -only briefing indicates that this idea has been rejected, and Great Britain is especially interested in ensuring that the United States has remained involved in Europe, despite doubting the part of the Donald Trump team.
Remember that Trump has announced that the United States of America will be required from allies – North Atlantic Alliance countries – to increase NATO costs to 5% of GDP.
