NATO Secretary General with 🇺🇸 US President Joe Biden, 17 JUN 2024

Remarks by US President Joe Biden and NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg at their meeting in the Oval Office at the White House, 17 June 2024.
🗣 | NATO Secretary General:
President Biden, dear Joe,
Thank you so much for your warm words.
And thank you so much for your personal commitment to NATO, to our transatlantic Alliance.
And also many thanks for hosting the NATO summit here in Washington D.C. next month.
At that summit we will celebrate the 75th anniversary of the most successful alliance in history.
But also make important decisions for the future.
Not least on the issue and the importance of investing in our security.
And today, we are able to publish new figures for defence spending.
They show that, across Europe and Canada, NATO Allies are, this year, increasing defence spending by 18 percent.
That’s the biggest increase in decades.
And 23 Allies are going to spend 2 percent of GDP or more on defence this year.
That’s more than twice as many as four years ago, and demonstrate that European Allies and Canada are really stepping up and taking their share of the common responsibility to protect all of us in the NATO Alliance.
It is also important for the United States to know that a lot of this money is actually spent here in the United States.
Allies are buying more and more equipment from the US.
So NATO is good for US security, but NATO is also good for US jobs.
Mister president, also thank you for your strong leadership on Ukraine and congratulations on the bilateral security agreement you signed with President Zelenskyy, with Ukraine.
European Allies are also stepping up and matching US contributions, military support to Ukraine.
And I expect that, when we meet here next month, we will agree to have NATO in the lead role in providing security assistance and training and also that Allies will agree to step up financial and military support to Ukraine.
This will reduce the burden on the United States and strengthen our support to Ukraine.
I think it is important to understand that the stronger our support for Ukraine is, the sooner this war can end, because the sooner President Putin will realise that he can not wait us out.
Support to Ukraine is not charity, support to Ukraine is in our own security interest.
And therefore, I welcome the strong commitment of all NATO Allies to continue to support Ukraine.
So once again, thank you so much. Thank you for once again hosting me here in the Oval Office and I look very much forward to the NATO Summit in Washington DC next month.
Thank you.

He belongs in a retirement home. Not running the most powerful military in the world in such troubling times. I mean my god.. he literally needs subtitles.

[@MTMF.london]

Subtitles? He's speaking English bro - there's no need for subtitles.

[@sirnirvikingur]

Glory to NATO!. Sending love from Iceland.

[@camrenwick]

As an old veteran, I'm grateful for NATO, This alliance has kept us safe for 75 years and is our best defence

[@TheStormtrooper00]

NATO keeps Europe and the US together in good and bad times.

[@mariaallover2044]

NATO takes billions of dollars from the US for what?

[@timlinator]

As a native New Yorker I still remember NATO invoking article 5 for the first and only time in its 75 history after the 9/11 attacks. Thousands of our allies from Europe and Canada fought in Afghanistan and many made the ultimate sacrifice. Long Live NATO! Slava Ukraine.

[@arondebreceni9464]

Unfortunately, I can't understand the old man on the right side because he speaks with great difficulty.

[@MTMF.london]

He speaks clear enough for all - I think you are the one who needs hearing aid.

[@rebeccahenderson7761]

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg does an excellent job. We are lucky to have his expertise at the helm. - Respect from Canada.

2 LEADERS FOR ALL ALLYS

[@D-inAustinTX]

I cannot wait to see the Presidential debates between Biden & Trump

[@mosesk2216]

Biden needs to retire, the man is clearly suffering from mental decline and it is painful to see. I hope his family and his party show mercy to him and convince him to not run again.

[@leonie563]

Agree, admire his strength in carrying on, but Trump will brutalise him in Election Debates and it will be awful to watch. Democrats should have let RFK Jnr stand in debates so he could take on Trump. RFK Jnr would run rings around Trump and take any speech issues with brainpower. Hard to see who Democrats up and coming leaders are.

[@philosotree5876]

This is a bit hard to hear. Subtitles would help

[@Holliswasthere]

Raise your volume the audio quality is normal and understandable

He can't do it anymore by heart. His memory is deteriorating.

Dos grandes líderes 🇺🇸💙💚💛💪🙌🏻💙

[@bayafrica5909]

The League of Nations have learned from WW1 & UN members have learned from WW2. NATO-US-Allies have learned from the aggressions of Russia-China-Iran & NoKor. While the UN provision on economic sanctions, severance of diplomatic ties & corporate defense posture against Russia was meant to preempt WW3. Some Pro-Russia & Pro-China in the cyber world are suffers from selective amnesia & were so poor on perception...

Mr Joe biden ❤

[@tr233]

We NATO we are stronger then russia!

[@hurvineldon1825]

Stronger but dumper too😂😂😂

[@ferntersa8913]

[@williamzk9083]

But I’m like Russia, we’re peaceful. We create our own wealth and prosperity through work not theft of other peoples lands.

Why does he have note cards?

[@MTMF.london]

Most politicians use them - note cards, auto cues/teleprompters, crib sheets - to make sure important info are not left out.

[@fightForYourExistence]

Financed more than 40 years ago advertisements in Swiss newspapers for a full Nato-membership of Switzerland. Furthemore the Swiss Gov-President V. Amherd is supporting nowadays a Swiss-Nato_partnership approach ( compare please the following elegy ): Her Excellency Federal President and conference host Madame BR Viola Amherd made in the unified closing statement at 17:06 CET on Sunday, June 16, 2024 *_on the number 31,000+ children abducted_* "abduction of children" an argument that can be thrown into the balance with weight, at least for me.

You are too stupid to know all politicians use the help of notes, crib sheets and auto-cues.

All other media outlets are blowing up from negative comments related to this meeting and the press conference. Here, everything seems to be peachy. Do you live in a parallel universe? 😂
