NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg had a phone
conversation with US President Donald J. Trump on Sunday evening, where they
reconfirmed the importance of the Alliance in troubled times. They reviewed
progress on the fight against terrorism and on NATO defence spending, and stressed
the need for continued efforts to ensure fair burden-sharing among all NATO
Allies.
They also discussed the uptick in violence in eastern
Ukraine, and prospects for a peaceful settlement. The Secretary General
recalled NATO's consistent policy of strong defence and dialogue with Russia.
The Secretary General and President Trump looked forward to the upcoming NATO
Summit in Brussels in late May to discuss these issues.
This was Mr Stoltenberg's second phone conversation
with President Trump since his election.
