NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said he’s “absolutely confident” the US will stay committed to NATO despite Donald Trump calling the alliance obsolete.
“Two world wars and a cold war have taught all of us that stability in Europe is also important for North America and the United States and the rest of the world,” Stoltenberg said in an interview with Bloomberg at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
Stoltenberg said he would work with the incoming president to help NATO “adapt” and persuade European countries to increase their defense spending.
“I spoke with President-elect Donald Trump after he was elected and he conveyed a very clear message to me and to the whole alliance that he and the US will stay strongly committed to NATO,” Stoltenberg said.
