“Europe needs America for its security. At the same time, North America also needs Europe. European allies provide world-class military strength, extensive intelligence networks and unique diplomatic influence that enhance America’s power,” Stoltenberg said.
Acknowledging US concerns that European allies are not contributing enough to collective defence, Stoltenberg said: “Fair sharing of the burden is essential and Europe is contributing more, much more.

“Thanks to NATO, the United States has more friends and more allies than any other major power,” said the NATO Secretary General.
