USA General Chris Cavoli is NATO's highest commander in Europe and, unsurprisingly, tight-lipped regarding the upcoming presidential shift in the USA.
It would be irresponsible of me to speculate what a future administration might hypothetically do, he states at the press conference following NATO's defense chiefs' meeting in Brussels.
Despite the concern among many that the USA under newly re-elected President Donald Trump will reduce its support to Ukraine, NATO leaders assure that everything remains unchanged.
NATO will do everything we can to help and invest in Ukraine in the coming years, promises the meeting leader in Brussels, Dutch Admiral Rob Bauer.
Sweden's Supreme Commander Michael Claesson does not sense any direct concern among the participants ahead of Trump's inauguration, nor among the Ukrainian Defense Chief, who also participated.
No, that's not the case. Whether it's because they're keeping a poker face or something else, I can't answer. But the feeling, image, and clarity conveyed is that it's "business as usual" – i.e., the support continues, says Claesson.
