NATO: We are no longer dependent on the US

“NATO and its European members are doing their homework and are not dependent on Washington in terms of defense.”

elchi reports that this was stated by the chairman of the alliance’s Military Committee, Admiral Giuseppe Cavo Dragone.

“We are doing our homework, we are not sitting idle. We made major commitments at the NATO summit held in The Hague last year,” he said in an interview with Al Arabiya, commenting on the statement by US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth regarding European countries abusing the generosity of American taxpayers.
