🗣 | NATO Secretary General:
Good afternoon.
I have just chaired a meeting of National Security Advisers from all NATO Allies.
And I am glad to be joined today by U.S. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan.
Jake, it is good to see you again,
Just after we last met in Washington last week.
In our meeting today, NATO Allies discussed our preparations for the Washington Summit in July.
Including Ukraine;
Deterrence and defence;
And the growing challenge posed by China.
Today, Allies reiterated their support for Ukraine.
This is not charity.
It is in our own security interest.
A Russian victory would weaken us,
And embolden not just Moscow,
But also China, Iran, and North Korea.
That matters for Europe’s security.
And it matters for America’s security.
By spending a fraction of our military budgets,
We have helped Ukraine to destroy a substantial part of Russia’s combat capacity.
Our support is also an example of true transatlantic burden sharing.
Where both Europe and North America are making critical contributions to preserve Ukraine’s freedom.
Last week in Washington, I heard strong support for Ukraine from Congressional leaders - both Republicans and Democrats.
The debate continues in Washington on funding for a number of important priorities.
It is vital that the United States Congress agrees on continued support for Ukraine in the near future.
And I count on all Allies to sustain their commitment.
Today, we also discussed further bolstering NATO’s deterrence and defence.
At the Summit, we will demonstrate that we are delivering on our commitments.
Including by fully resourcing our new defence plans,
Investing in new capabilities,
And accelerating efforts to strengthen our transatlantic defence industrial base.
Since last July, NATO has agreed industry deals worth some 10 billion US dollars for ammunition.
Including 5.5 billion dollars for 1,000 more Patriot air defence missiles just last month.
A deal that will build more production capacity in Europe for this vital capability.
The world has become more dangerous.
But NATO has become stronger.
With more forces,
Higher readiness,
And increased defence investment.
We can never take peace for granted.
But we do not see any imminent threats against any NATO Ally.
NATO is now holding Steadfast Defender - our biggest military exercise in decades.
Our exercise demonstrates that there should be no room for miscalculation in Moscow about NATO’s readiness and resolve to protect all Allies.
In our meetings today, we also addressed the growing challenge posed by China.
Our competitors are increasingly joining forces.
And Russia's increasing cooperation with China, Iran, and North Korea raises serious concerns.
So it is even more important that NATO is working more closely with partners like Australia, Japan, New Zealand and South Korea.
Today, we also condemned Iran’s destabilising role throughout the Middle East,
Including its support for terror groups that attack Allied forces and civilian shipping.
Attacks by Iranian-backed militias in Iraq and Syria against U.S. forces are unacceptable.
Iran must rein in its proxies.
So dear Jake,
Thank you again for your strong personal commitment to our Alliance.
And for the extraordinary leadership of the United States and President Biden as we face global challenges.
Together in NATO, we will continue to protect our nations, our people and our values.
And we all look forward to the Summit in Washington.
So, please.

Thank you for NATO News: much needed and appreciated.

[@timknin]

Two of my favorite people on that stage!!

[@gudrunlacht7454]

Thank God that NATO exists. I am an old German woman who, as a child, ran to her mother when the alarm sounded and screamed: The Russians are coming! The stories alone had traumatized me. When I think of the Ukrainians, I cry. I thank all those who stand by Ukraine.

[@marinaclarasanchezsuarez2905]

In NATO we continue to protect our Nations, our Peoples and our Values⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@TJH615]

Strong stuff from these two. Well done

[@orlandoreyes332]

It’s satisfying to see all members of NATO on the same page, after 2 years of continuous support for Ukraine the alliance is not just stronger, but bigger. I’m also excited that Ukraine will be part of this alliance in the future

[@jeromejones920]

Stay moving forward NATO

[@Michels_Supercars]

US national security adviser Jake Sullivan expresses himself increasingly annoyed that Hungary has not yet approved Sweden in NATO, At a meeting at NATO headquarters in Brussels on Wednesday, he said that he "will not stand here and pronounce specific threats, or speculate on what measures we will take in the long term, but of course our patience around this is not unlimited either." Sullivan underlined that the US and other NATO countries have pointed out to Hungary that "it's about credibility and commitment" to let Sweden in

[@dontiavang558]

I love it so much. This is what I envisioned NATO would be. This is great news for our children. We want to leave them a better world, then the one we are currently embroiled in! Can't wait for Sweden to be a part of this NATO alliance. In a world full of confusion n instabilities. we have to make sure we stand together, so we can deter the dictators of countries who wants to harm us. Today we moved one step closer to doing that. Glory to our NATO allies all around the world. And the US look forward to seeing u here next month. Together we can be strong!

[@user-cj1wr5lb1r]

One hopes that the fine reassuring words are backed up with solid actions on issues covered. The three Baltic countries are the most vulnerable front vis-a-vis potential aggression from Russia and the NATO defences needs to reinforced with effective deterrent measures in terms of men and material.

NATO is very important defense alliance in the world with US as main member and very strategic partner of NATO against any attacks to its member.. but the world is waiting NATO to expand its alliance in Asia to further extend is strategic defense in indo pacific area especially the threat from China and North Korea... if NATO can establish its alliance in Asia a number of counties will join especially Taiwan, Philippines Japan India Singapore Malaysia Vietnam Thailand ,South Korea Indonesia in which these countries are under threat by Communist China and North Korea...

[@jagirindramayu6997]

wow..from indonesia

[@eymeeraosaka2954]

So when is NATO gonna send troops to Ukraine?

[@rojilander7212]

👍👍👍🇺🇦🇺🇳🇺🇲

[@joerosa170]

Greetings from America. Thank you to everybody who helps Ukraine. They deserve our help especially military aid. Maga Republicans stop blocking aid to Ukraine and helping Russia. Pass military aid to Ukraine. It's our duty as a democracy to help Ukraine. Keep the military aid flowing into Ukraine. The American people demand it.

[@bearbus4]

When is the Washington summit? 9:19

[@Rei.Hino37]

How is going to finalize Hungary this issue as they' president has now resigned!? Don't they need president approval for signing the ratification?

[@semiretired6033]

Glory to Ukraine 🇺🇦. Long live the democratic nations of the world!!!

"...Is Europe doing enough...": Ask any field commander; "it's never enough"

[@BLUEEYELENS]

Great work nato

[@kendennison3224]

Does anyone feel the need for a ratification of the Treaty to not allow personal vendettas stand in the way of expansion of Nato, Turkey was another one but we or they fixed that because of an F16 deal I believe Hungary will do the same thing but with monies that there is on hold, just a thought .

[@jonmoore1826]

Exceptionally good conference. As for Tucker Carlson, he is exceptional proof that in the West even fools have the privilege of free speech, and the rest of us have the privilege of not believing, or even listening to, any of his B.S. Afterall, who hasn't heard the wind blow before?

[@chrismeese3666]

It would be good if you can guarantee that the US will keep their commitments to NATO allies if even if Trump becomes president, and that NATO will safeguard ALL NATO allies land and boarders, no matter what. These things are the most important and did not seem to be covered in you briefings

[@genard_hajdini_papafare]

Is Steadfast Defender 2024 for four months long?!

[@faboris64]

I hope we will support Ucraine but he situation is critic, they have not too much time to hold positions. Western world is under attack, we have to survive.

[@felyxt]

He is talking like Ukraine is a member of NATO. What about other NATO nations.

[@Capricorn964]

Mr Sullivan: is Iran the only threat to NATO in the Middle East?

[@chrismeese3666]

It is good to support Ukraine but they need help NOW not in a month or a year

[@123slither]

Great work NATO and America standing strong together and supporting Ukraine to freedom and democracy and strengthening European security

[@realitycheck908]

This is real journalism not russian propagandist tucker carlson

[@cbarcus]

The US Congress really needs to get its act together and pass the supplemental spending to support our allies. Adopting the Far-Right’s isolationist policy would invite escalation and invasion across the globe, likely ushering in a Third World War.

[@joerosa170]

Thank you president Biden for keeping your word and working hard to get more funding from congress for military aid to Ukraine.

[@johnhopkins6260]

Ukraine needs to become the next West Germany.

[@tubntxawgxwbchannel7179]

great job do it we here stand with NATO
