NATO Summit President Biden's First Attendance “America is Back”

The NATO = North Atlantic Treaty Organization summit meeting was held in Brussels, the capital of Belgium.

It is believed that President Biden of the United States attended the meeting for the first time, and each country sought to strengthen the cohesion that had been shaken significantly under former President Trump, and discussed the response to Russia and China.

The NATO summit was held at the headquarters in Brussels on the 14th, and President Biden, who finished the G7 summit = the summit of the seven major countries, attended the meeting for the first time.

NATO compiled a report last year that included issues for the next 10 years and recommendations for how to deal with it. In this report, in addition to structural reforms such as political decisions, it was the first report to touch China and its influence. He mentioned the need for expansion and NATO response.

At this meeting, it seems that opinions were exchanged on the approval of NATO's mechanism and strategic reform proposals based on this report.

NATO is also considering establishing a fund for each country to fund and advance the development of cutting-edge technology with the aim of countering Russia and China, and will take measures in line with these issues through the conference. I would like to confirm the above and appeal the unity of the alliance both inside and outside the country.

Prior to the meeting, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg told reporters, "This is a meeting that will be held at a very important time for the alliance. We will open a new chapter on Western relations today." Shown.

US President Joe Biden said at a NATO-related event ahead of the summit, "NATO is extremely important to the United States.

European countries Please be aware that the United States is here and that the United States is willing to return here, "he said, demonstrating his willingness to restore relations with the jerky member states during the tenure of former President Trump. ..

Regarding the increase in the defense budget, which former President Trump has urged member countries to increase, "more than 10 countries have met the target, and the other countries are on the way to the target. This is important." He said that the United States would continue to ask each country to increase the amount.
