To mark the 75th Anniversary NATO Summit, <\/em>DNC National Press Secretary Emilia Rowland released the following statement: <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs NATO celebrates its 75th anniversary, President Biden continues to emphasize how the military alliance is stronger than ever, while also pledging to further uphold the U.S.\u2019s commitment to safeguarding democracy abroad. The Biden-Harris administration cleaned up the mess Trump left on the global stage \u2013 from threatening to pull out of NATO, to trying<\/a> to add Russia back into the G7, repeatedly praising Putin, and even saying<\/a> he trusted Putin over the U.S. intelligence community. President Biden has delivered by reinforcing our alliances and rallying NATO and our allies across the world to stand with Ukraine in the face of Putin\u2019s aggression. While Trump continues to threaten to abandon NATO and cozy up to dictators like Vladimir Putin, one thing is certain: President Biden is busy working to ensure that NATO remains stronger, larger, and more united than it has ever been before.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During opening remarks at the NATO Summit, President Biden underscored the United States\u2019 steadfast commitment to the alliance, which has been a cornerstone of his presidency. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

President Biden<\/a>: \u201cToday, NATO is better resourced than it ever has been.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI want to pause on this because it\u2019s significant. […]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s remarkable progress \u2014 proof that our commitment is broad and deep, that we\u2019re ready, that we\u2019re willing, and we\u2019re able to deter aggression and defend every inch of NATO territory across every domain: land, air, sea, cyber, and space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy friends, it\u2019s good that we\u2019re stronger than ever, because this moment in history calls for our collective strength.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

White House Statement<\/a>: \u201cNow, like generations before us, we must choose to protect this progress and build on it. We must remember that the sacred commitment we make to our Allies\u2014to defend every inch of NATO territory\u2014makes us safer too, and gives the United States a bulwark of security unrivaled by any other nation in the world.<\/strong> And like our predecessors, we must ask ourselves what can we do\u2014what must we do\u2014to create a more peaceful future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2018When we stand together, no force on earth is more powerful,\u2019 Mr. Biden said, citing former Secretary of State Madeleine K. Albright, the Czech-born diplomat who championed NATO membership for Poland, Hungary and her homeland, finalized on this day in 1999 with the support of Mr. Biden, then a senator. \u2018I believed that then, and I believe it now,\u2019 he added.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Politico<\/a>: \u201cBiden, who spent decades both as member on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and vice president, is perceived internationally as someone U.S. allies can work with on issues ranging from climate change to holding Iran accountable for its nuclear ambitions.

Politico<\/a>: \u201cTrying to keep Russian President Vladimir Putin at bay without escalating the standoff into World War III, Biden has pushed allies to hold together, resisted calls for more direct confrontation, all while attempting to manage the economic impacts back home. The moment has showcased his pledge to reset America\u2019s relationship with the world after four tumultuous years of former President Donald Trump \u2014 and heightened his recurring call for democracies to rally together to confront rising autocracies.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, Trump continues to threaten to abandon NATO and allow Russia to \u201cdo whatever the hell they want.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump<\/a>: \u201cNo I would not protect you (NATO allies), in fact, I would encourage them (Russia) to do whatever the hell they want.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDonald Trump wanted to pull the United States out of NATO during his first term, but was repeatedly talked out of it by senior administration officials.
