NATO Summit Live: Stoltenberg And World Leaders Arrive At NATO Summit | Washington | Ukraine | N18G
President Joe Biden welcomed NATO leaders to Washington on Tuesday by celebrating their unity against Russia’s Ukraine aggression and underscoring America’s ironclad commitment to the alliance under his watch - a message that seemed aimed at bucking up his own wobbly Democratic supporters as much as allies confronting the prospect of a return to the White House of NATO skeptic Donald Trump.
Biden has been straining to persuade U.S. voters and donors that he’s ready for reelection after a stumbling debate performance against Trump. He’s been making his case on the campaign trail, in a defiant letter to Democratic lawmakers and now at an international summit that he’s still up for four more grinding years in the White House.
“Today, NATO is more powerful than ever-32 nations strong, Biden said as he welcomed leaders at an evening event to mark the 75th anniversary of the alliance. ”It’s good we’re stronger than ever because this moment in history calls for our collective strength,” he declared head up and voice strong.
