Pompeo: NATO remains corner stone safety VS

brussels - The new US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, on his first visit to NATO, wanted to remove the doubts about the importance the US still attaches to the alliance. 'NATO is the cornerstone of our security policy, and it remains,' said Pompeo, whose appointment as minister only came Thursday. 'The Russian threats and unacceptable actions make NATO more essential than ever.'

President Donald Trump has regularly been critical of NATO because the European Allies do not contribute enough. But according to Pompeo that does not detract from the solidarity of the US with the alliance. 'I can not imagine a more suitable destination for my first international trip. '
