Biden Addresses NATO Summit – Possibly The Last Time A U. S. President Does So
President Joe Biden on Tuesday praised the NATO alliance at its 75th anniversary celebration as he potentially became the last U. S. president to address the group’s annual summit.
Biden told the civilian and military leaders from 32 countries assembled in Washington that the alliance, founded after World War II to keep the peace in Europe, that the organization has a new mission in stopping Russian dictator Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.
“Today NATO is more powerful than ever ― 32 nations strong,” he said at evening ceremonies at the Andrew Mellon Auditorium, where the founding treaty was signed in 1949, as he welcomed the two newest members, Sweden and Finland.
“Our commitment is broad and deep,” he said. “Our nations will continue to keep faith in what we pledged in years to come.”
How long the United States will honor that pledge, though, is unclear. Donald Trump, the coup-attempting former president who will become the Republican presidential nominee next week to challenge Biden’s reelection, has long threatened to abandon NATO.
According to his own defense secretary, Trump planned to pull out of the alliance in his second term ― a plan foiled by his loss to Biden in the 2020 election.
John Bolton, his former national security adviser, said Trump had wanted to withdraw in his first term and almost did at the summit in 2018. Bolton said Trump never understood how NATO worked and did not care to learn.
“He spent four years as president, he didn’t know anything about it when he entered the Oval Office, and he didn’t know anything about it when he left,” Bolton said in an interview earlier this year.
