The Prime Minister of the United kingdom, Keir Starmer has declared that the UK would continue to make a case for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, NATO.
Starmer made the remark in response to a social media post by the United States, US, President Donald Trump yesterday.
Trump had wrote: “NATO wasn’t there when we needed them, and they won’t be there if we need them again.”
Responding, the UK PM said the alliance “is in America’s interests” and “in European interests”.
In an interview on ITV’s Talking Politics podcast, Starmer said: “NATO is a defensive alliance which for decades has kept us much safer than we would otherwise have been. So we’re strong supporters of NATO, will always be strong supporters of NATO.
“Do I think there should be a stronger European element to NATO? Yes. And I think we should step into that space. We’re already doing it, which is why we’re coordinating strategically with our partners in NATO.”
He added that NATO is “the single most-effective military alliance the world has ever known” and said he has been making the case for Europeans to do more “for the best part of two years”.
“We continue to make that case, and we will make that case,” he added.
