Today’s shocking bill, which tried to overturn an important anticorruption reform, had the stench of something done in a panic. I understand the immediate trigger may have been activation of investigations into the dealings of presidential-office insiders. https://t.co/g1LkmOkhWr
We are witnessing a very sad moment in American history.
The President of the United States is aligning himself with the dictator of Russia, Vladimir Putin, to undermine the independence of Ukraine and its democracy.
Here are my thoughts:
I have long said that Europe needs to take greater responsibility for our own security and increase our support for Ukraine. I believe there is momentum right now for the Nordic-Baltic countries and Poland to continue stepping forward and leading the way, both in terms of defense spending and support for Ukraine.
My top priority here in Munich is to discuss with allies and partners how we can best strengthen Europe’s security and support Ukraine with political, military, economic, and humanitarian aid.
