WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) addressed the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Summit taking place in Washington, D.C. this week, emphasizing the necessity for President Biden to deliver a decisive message to global leaders amid ongoing international conflicts.
“With the NATO summit here in Washington this week, the eyes of the world are, once again, on the leadership,” said Sen. Cornyn.
He highlighted that allies and adversaries alike are closely observing U.S. actions regarding support for Ukraine and Israel and its stance towards China.
“This week, President Biden has one job to do, and that’s to deliver a clear and powerful message to our allies. He must reaffirm America’s commitment to collective defense. He must demonstrate decisive leadership and solidarity with our NATO allies. And he needs to deliver a strong warning to our would-be adversaries that attacks against the United States and our allies will not be tolerated.”
Senator Cornyn further stressed the importance of maintaining a firm stance against nations like Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea: “Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, they’re all watching, and there is no room for weakness or vacillation when it comes to sending this important message of deterrence.”
“I hope President Biden can summon up the energy, and the forcefulness, and the ability to express this important message to our friends and allies around the world because our adversaries are watching, but so are our friends,” concluded Sen. Cornyn.
