The state’s Marco Rubio and the US Ambassador secretary for NATO Matthew Whitekar arrived at Brussels on Thursday that the associates hopes to highlight the future plans of America in Europe.
The arrival of Rubio comes as European colleagues and is concerned about the readiness of Canada President Donald Trump, who is close to Russian leader Vladimir Putin, who sees NATO as a danger. Recently White House comments and insults directed on NATO colleagues – at the same time the military alliance – has raised alarm and confusion.
Trump’s new tariff has made us more uncertain to target friends and enemies. Prior to the arrival of Rubio, Trump issued an executive order, with a minimum base line tariff of 10% on all imports.
Since the Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth warned last month that US security priorities lie elsewhere – in Asia and on their borders – Europeans have waited to know how big military trauma could occur in Europe and how fast it can happen.

In Europe and Canada, governments are working on “Burdon Shifting”, which are planning to handle more loads, while trying to ensure that no security vacuum is created if American troops and equipment are withdrawn from the continent.
These colleagues are willing to hear from Rubio as to what the Trump administration has intentions and expects to secure some types of roadmaps that will be next and when, so they can plan and use European forces to plug any gap.

The US Ambassador to NATO Matt Whitekar said that the alliance “coalition” led by Trump would be more effective and more effective than ever.
Whitekar said in a statement, “I believe that a strong NATO can continue to work as a basis of peace and prosperity,” NATO’s vitality rests on every partner who does its proper part. ,

Whitekar confirmed the US commitment to NATO’s collective safety guarantee, stating that the attack on any colleague should be considered an attack on all of them, but their brief would also encourage Europe to lead Europe to lead “peace, security and reconstruction of Ukraine”.
