PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN HAS ANNOUNCED REINFORCEMENTS OF US NATO FORCES IN EUROPE, SAYING THE ALLIANCE IS NEEDED TODAY MORE THAN IT EVER HAS BEEN.
BIDEN MADE THIS KNOWN THIS WEDNESDAY WHEN HE MET WITH NATO SECRETARY GENERAL, JENS STOLTENBERG, AT A SUMMIT OF THE TRANSATLANTIC ALLIANCE BEING HELD IN MADRID, SAYING THE ALLIANCE WILL BE STRENGTHENED IN ALL DIRECTIONS ACROSS EVERY DOMAIN, INCLUDING LAND, AIR AND SEA.
WHILE ANNOUNCING ADDITIONAL AIR DEFENCE AND OTHER CAPABILITIES IN GERMANY AND IN ITALY, BIDEN SAID RUSSIAN PRESIDENT VLADIMIR PUTIN HAS SHATTERED PEACE IN EUROPE, AND NATO IS READY TO MEET THE THREATS FROM ALL DIRECTIONS ACROSS EVERY DOMAIN.
REFERRING TO NATO UNITY ON ACCEPTING THE APPLICATIONS OF PREVIOUSLY NEUTRAL FINLAND AND SWEDEN TO JOIN THE ALLIANCE, BIDEN SAID PUTIN’S STRATEGY IN INVADING UKRAINE HAS BACKFIRED.
