NATO Secretary General with 🇺🇸 US Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken, 29 JAN 2024

Joint press conference by the NATO Secretary General, Jens Stoltenberg and the US Secretary of State, Antony J. Blinken, 29 January 2024.
🗣 | NATO Secretary General:
Thanks so much, Secretary Blinken, dear Tony,
Thank you for hosting me here in Washington.
It is always good to meet with you.
And even more important given the dangers we face.
So let me begin by offering my deepest condolences for the US troops killed and wounded in yesterday’s drone attack in Jordan.
We see Iran continue to destabilise the region.
Iran also bears responsibility for backing terrorists who attack our ships in the Red Sea.
Tehran’s behaviour reminds us of what a world without rules looks like:
Unpredictable and dangerous.
A world where our security becomes more expensive.
I welcome your tireless diplomacy, Secretary Blinken, to prevent further escalation of the war in Gaza.
Your efforts to alleviate human suffering.
And your hard work toward a peaceful resolution.
Russia’s brutal war against Ukraine is nearing the two-year mark.
And a Russian victory would embolden Iran, North Korea and China.
That matters for Europe’s security.
And it matters for America’s security.
So supporting Ukraine serves U.S. interests.
For a tiny fraction of annual defence spending, the United States has helped Ukraine destroy a major part of Russia’s combat capacity.
Without placing a single American soldier in harm’s way.
I welcome the clear commitment from President Biden and you.
To sustain U.S. support to Ukraine.
And to work with Congress to achieve that.
As you said, other Allies are also stepping up.
In fact, what European NATO Allies and Canada provide -
in terms of military, financial, and humanitarian aid -
actually exceeds what the U.S. is providing.
So truly joint effort from both sides of the Atlantic.
And I am confident that all NATO Allies will continue to deliver.
Because supporting Ukraine is not charity.
It is an investment in our own security.
President Putin started this war, and he could end it today - if he stopped attacking a neighbour.
The war could also end if Ukraine stopped defending itself,
But that would not mean peace.
It would mean Russian occupation.
And occupation is not peace.
A just peace will require President Putin to realise that he will not get what he wants on the battlefield.
Moscow must accept a negotiated solution where Ukraine prevails as a sovereign, independent nation.
What happens around the negotiating table is inextricably linked to the situation on the battlefield.
So if we want a lasting, just peace, we must provide Ukraine with more weapons and ammunition.
Weapons to Ukraine is the path to peace.
Finally, we also discussed adapting our Alliance for the future.
In July, we will mark NATO’s 75th anniversary with a Summit here in Washington.
And as you said, NATO is getting stronger and bigger.
Finland is already a member, Sweden will become a member soon.
And this demonstrates that Putin is getting exactly the opposite of what he wanted.
He wanted less NATO, a weaker NATO.
He’s getting a stronger NATO and a more united NATO and a NATO with more members.
At the Summit, we will take further steps to bolster NATO’s strength.
Invest more in our defence.
And work with partners around the world.
Through NATO, the U.S. has more friends and allies than any other power.
Together, we make up 50 percent of the world’s economic and military might.
China and Russia have nothing like NATO.
It is why they always try to undermine our unity.
In times of growing competition and rivalry.
NATO makes the U.S. stronger and safer.
And all of us more secure.
Secretary Blinken, dear Tony,
Thank you again for your personal commitment to our transatlantic bond and to our shared security.
Thank you.

[@blacklion8208]

This is a good solution before being invaded. To late now.

U mean diplomacy..but what happens when diplomacy fails?

[@marykilgarriff3550]

Give the Palestinians their state. With hope and love from Ireland

[@canaryliina]

Make the land between russia and Ukraine apart of Ukraine but demilitarized. We did it for Åland. We have had that deal with Russia for over 100 years and it works.

[@mathildestoltz7327]

They have a state which is called Jordan. Why should they have more than one state?

Thank you Erdogan for putting the impetus on Hungary's Orban. He will have to choose betwen being part of the EU or being allied with Russia. He cannot be both.

[@susanjessee1696]

NO MORE WAR!!!!

[@simchalebovitch6944]

The volatile situation is not confined to the Middle East. It started with the war Russia launched against Ukraine and has extended to China with it's threats against Taiwan, North Korea against South, Iranian action against those on Pakistani soil and many others that are rarely or never monitored on mainstream TV.

[@Do-not-be-sheep]

Europe also needs to significantly ramp up military manufacturing in their own countries as well as doubling the size of their armed forces through civilian soldiers joining reserve forces

[@MTMF.london]

They are all doing that. The invasion of Ukraine was the wake-up call for all those peaceniks in Europe who thought they could extend a loving hand full of flowers to Russia and all would be OK.

[@mickeymoroco]

Blinken for US 2024 president

[@kanicakhanom7483]

I appreciate with them Thank you for your regular press briefing ❤❤❤❤

[@einosiirila7093]

In regards of what is going on in the middle east and the threat of China invading Taiwan, why would we abandon the most high tech military base in Iraq that was located where we need one the most?

[@solarczyk49]

I wish health, freedom and peace to the inhabitants of planet Earth.

[@user-tc7fb2pb6j]

He should be president he is doing extra work because of fantastic leadership in the current circumstances im your big fan name called Anthony blakin sectury of state he was good leader still remains same category dont why he is not trying do the main most important job

[@mavisruddock7532]

Thank you Mr.Blinken this is a great and peaceful speech to the world sympathy to the dedicated soldiers who have lost their lived in Jordan. A great Secretary of State you are and a powerful speech from the second speaker

[@ddvantandar-kw7kl]

Appreciated the ongoing efforts

[@jf7243]

It seems rather a shame Secretary Blinken could not name the three soldiers killed. NATO needs to step up and provide adequate support of material for Ukraine.

[@martinknox303]

Maybe he was briefed that he couldn't?

[@MTMF.london]

It's all in the news.

[@innocentvwalika3838]

It actually not matters since the names are already in the news

We have a phenomenal Secretary of State in Mr. Blinken. Thanking Joe Biden for putting the relationship with NATO back together, so needed.

[@lukeamato423]

Agreed

[@chozumi]

Two reasonable men. We definitely need such diplomatic reasonableness, rather than shortsighted rantings that foment more chaos and division in our dangerous world. Moving forward to Ukrainian victory is the path to a more stable world. Ukraine in NATO is our STAND.
