The United States is commited to global leadership by supporting Ukraine and strengthening
NATO, President Joe Biden said at the press conference following NATO Summit in Washington
on July 11.
He highlighted these strategies being of a crucial importance for U.S. national security.
"I will not abandon Ukraine, and I will keep NATO strong,” Biden affirmed.
“This is what we have done, and this is what we will continue to do."
The future US policy depends on the American people's choice in the upcoming November elections, he added.
"This is a matter of national security."
Biden recalled how his predecessor, Donald Trump, distanced himself from the obligations under Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty, which is considered the cornerstone of collective security.
