NATO chief trumpets new ‘momentum’ with EU military ties
BRUSSELS — NATO and the European Union are moving forward on deepening cooperation, the alliance’s chief said Tuesday, as U.S. President-elect Donald Trump insists European allies start pulling their own military weight.
Preparing to chair a meeting in Brussels of the 28-nation military alliance’s foreign ministers, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg told reporters that “we have a momentum now.”
He said NATO and the EU would endorse later Tuesday 40 proposals for boosting cooperation on cyber security and hybrid threats, operations at sea and helping neighboring countries better defend themselves.
