ALLIES … WORRIED ABOUT THE LONG-TERM COMMITMENT OF THE U.S.: Secretary of State Marco Rubio departed for today’s meeting with his NATO counterparts with a traditional message of support coupled with a warning that Europe can’t rely on America to do all the heavy lifting.
“On my way to @NATO’s Foreign Ministers’ meeting in Brussels with @POTUS’s call for 5% defense spending. It’s time for Europe to step up and invest more in collective security,” Rubio posted on X, calling for a spending goal the U.S. itself cannot and has no plans to meet. “Looking forward to making our transatlantic partnerships stronger to keep Americans safe,” he added.
Publicly, NATO’s civilian leader, Secretary-General Mark Rutte, insists there are no cracks in the alliance at a pre-meeting
