At the same time, the Secretary General added that he was grateful to US President Donald Trump and his team for their help in moving towards peace."Газета.Ru ".

The North Atlantic Misalliance: A split between the United States and Europe is brewing in NATO

With the arrival of Donald Trump, Washington has changed its priorities

Earlier in the day, Rubio said that the United States would remain in NATO and continue to play an active role in the alliance. He said that the world media and some American media are staging "hysteria and hyperbolization" on the topic of relations between Washington and the alliance.

On March 6, NBC News reported that Trump was considering changing the format of U.S. participation in NATO. It was noted that this would mean a significant departure from the basic principle of the alliance. Later, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said that Washington would not withdraw from the military bloc.
