Joe Biden today called for the continuation of the United States’ “sacred commitment” to NATO, amid repeated criticism of the alliance by Republican rival Donald Trump.
“We must remember that the sacred commitment we make to our allies to defend every inch of NATO territory also enhances our own security and gives the United States a bulwark unmatched in the world,” the US president wrote in a statement. issued on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the founding of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
NATO “is the largest military alliance that has ever existed. However, it did not happen by accident, nor was it predetermined,” said Joe Biden.
Trump and Biden for NATO
It is recalled that the current president of the USA will run for a new term in November.
He will face Donald Trump. The 77-year-old Republican tycoon caused panic in Europe when he threatened in February that he would no longer guarantee the protection of NATO countries against Russia if those countries did not dedicate a budget sufficient for their defense.
He then assured that these statements were a way to “negotiate” and put pressure on the Europeans.
“Don’t forget that all this is more important to them than to us, we have an ocean that separates us from some problems,” he said recently. “A great and beautiful ocean.”
Joe Biden, on the contrary, is presented as the first supporter of NATO, and as the one who contributed to the strengthening of the Alliance with the inclusion of Finland and Sweden.
