He calls it a ‘sacred obligation’ of U.S.
U.S. President Joe Biden told fellow NATO leaders on Monday the defence of Europe, Turkey and Canada was a “sacred obligation” for the United States, a marked shift from his predecessor Donald Trump’s threats to withdraw from the military alliance. Arriving in Brussels from the weekend’s G7 summit in England, Mr. Biden again sought to rally Western allies to support a U.S. strategy to contain China’s military rise as well as showing unity in the face of Russian aggression. “Article Five is a sacred obligation,” Mr. Biden said, referring to the transatlantic alliance’s collective defence pledge. “I want all Europe to know that the U.S. is there,” he said after arriving in his black presidential limousine.
