U.S. NATO Ambassador to HVG: We expect tough political steps from Europe

In Warsaw, the U.S. delegation, led by General Alexus Grynkewich, emphasized NATO's commitment to defense and deterrence against Russia. The focus is on encouraging Europe to enhance its conventional defense capabilities while maintaining U.S. support. Discussions are ongoing about the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Europe, aiming for Europe to develop rapid response units and deeper strike capabilities. Economic strength is crucial for NATO members to meet defense spending targets, with some countries already exceeding the 2% GDP threshold. The situation varies among member states, highlighting the need for collective responsibility in defense efforts.
