The head of the state department believes that the war in Ukraine, as well as Trump’s pressure, encouraged other NATO members to increase their contributions.
The United States in June Summit expects NATO to hear great obligations from alliance -related partners. About the US Secretary of State Marco Rubio published a video on the X platform on Sunday, April 6.
“The United States has done a lot and has continued to do so for NATO. Now we are involved in NATO as usual, and we intend to continue doing so,” Rubio said.
But he immediately added that “it should be a real alliance, which means our partners should strengthen their own abilities.”
Among the factors that should encourage other NATO members to increase their contribution, the Secretary of State cited two things.
“First, the war in Ukraine, in my opinion, woke a lot of people on the continent about real threats, real war. And the second reason, in my opinion, was President Trump’s pressure and statement … And we hope that when leaders meet in The Hague, more and more stable obligations in this direction will be accepted,” Rubio said.
Earlier, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte justifies the Trump administration’s statements in Ukraine and NATO.
