Pelosi stressed the U.S. needs to sustain ties with the organization amid ongoing challenges, such as cyber security and the war against terrorism.
“Now more than ever, we need NATO as we go forward, because the challenges are more complicated than a bipolar relationship with the Soviet Union,” she stated. “It’s now much more diverse and therefore the friendships that we have much more important.”
Pelosi has recently met with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, EU Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker, and the EU’s Foreign Policy Chief Federica Mogherini.
