Utter incoherence from the White House. From February, "The effort reflects a White House drive to treat NATO as a strictly Euroatlantic defense pact and roll back decades of expansion into crisis management, global partnerships and values-driven initiatives that have long irritated the U.S. president and his MAGA base." politico.eu/article/us-pre….

CBS' @JenniferJJacobs reports that President Trump's primetime address is likely to be critical of NATO. Earlier today, Mr. Trump threatened to withdraw from the transatlantic military alliance. A 2023 law co-authored by then-Sen. Marco Rubio gives that power to Congress, not the president. In 2024, he told @margbrennan that “Congress needs to play a role” in any U.S. decision to withdraw from the transatlantic alliance.

A reminder from February, "The effort reflects a White House drive to treat NATO as a strictly Euroatlantic defense pact and roll back decades of expansion into crisis management, global partnerships and values-driven initiatives that have long irritated the U.S. president and his MAGA base." politico.eu/article/us-pre….

🇨🇦🇳🇱The friendship between Canada and the Netherlands is very close and goes back a long way. The Canadians played a crucial role in liberating our country. And more than a million people with Dutch roots live in Canada. We work together closely in the international arena, for example within NATO and in supporting Ukraine.   This afternoon I had an introductory phone conversation with Prime Minister @MarkJCarney. We both have many serious concerns about the war in Iran and its impact on the region and the wider world. Along with our international partners, we are monitoring the situation closely and seeking solutions. At the same time, we remain fully focused on the war in Ukraine. During the call we also discussed opportunities to expand our cooperation in the areas of security, the defence industry, energy and trade.
