Close by. Many other academic analysts and members of the press corps. So id like to hold it open now to the floor. Ill try to take, if its okay with you, a couple of questions at a time. Weve got exactly half an hour. So again, if people could keep those short and well start with this gentleman here at the front, if you could wait until a microphone comes to you. Please identify yourself and then the lady behind you. Im michael gordon, new york times. Sir, the United States has sent a dozen f16s and several hundred Service Personnel to poland as a reassurance mission. But if nato is trying to send a message of resolve, shouldnt the reassurance mission be a natoled effort involving multiple countries on land, sea, and air, in poland, the Baltic States and the black sea. And also, ukraine has been seeking support for its military. Shouldnt nato consider providing intelligence support, logistical support, and advisers to help strengthen the Ukrainian Military and deter possible russian m
Pentagons time schedule for achieving certain Missile Defense capabilities in romania and poland against medium missiles could be too optimistic. What are your thoughts on that conclusion . Thanks. And the gentleman who originally had the microphone. As the United States and the European Union are negotiating the transatlantic trade and Investment Partnership, the socalled economic nato, dont you think that its essential that we have a transatlantic conversation when it comes to security, to a greater extent that the eu has delivered in december, and then secondly, with the departure of the last u. S. Tank in april from europe and the end of the isef mission in afghanistan, dont you think that its essential that nato reexamines its role in the 21st century . Dont you think that the alliance maybe needs to reinvent itself as it did after the end of the cold war . Thank you very much. Thank you. Yep. Interesting questions. First, on our nuclear policy. We adopted a new strategic concept
Between the two sides most valuable. And the gentleman here at the aisle . Just one second. Next time around. Thank you. This year marks and first of all, congratulations on your Hillary Clinton award this morning. Fiona mentioned a few anniversaries, but this marks the 100th anniversary of world war i. You welcomed a delegation from bosnia i think a couple of days ago and macedonias Prime Minister recently. What kind of message will the upcoming summit send on enlargement . Will there be a breakthrough on the macedoniagreece dispute in europe opinion and perhaps a visit to the region, if enlargement is not deliverable at the uk summit, will you visit all the four country sths because i think we learned the mistakes of bucharest with georgia and ukraine. Luckily nothing of that sort has happened on macedonia. But hopefully nothing does happen. So thank you. Thank you. First, on the nato russiacouncil. Actually, i think we struck the right balance in what we have done so far. Because yo
The first couple of weeks i would nominate him for sainthood as he kept his patients. I got off to a slow start. It is basically fixed. In the last quarter of 2013, you helped 2 Million People in the face of the confusion, you helped them enroll. Doors,lk through your they reached out for you. You made a difference. You answered questions, walk them through the enrollment process. More than 5 Million People have signed up for the drive and health plan. [applause] are not event we counting gained access to health care by signing up for medicaid. [applause] imagine if every governor did the right thing and signed up for medicaid. [applause] i am convinced, as a practitioner of the art of they will not be able to sustain the heat. [applause] heres the deal. None of this would have happened without you. The fact is, Community Health centers are the resource for so many people out there. Placeve been the only millions of folks have been able to go for basic care. In the process, you have ea
Share only vague written updates that dont tell us much about the president s condition and his covid treatment. If he is feeling well enough to work today, one thing not in his todo box is broad stimulus negotiations. A surprise tweet from the president yesterday ended his talks and rattled Financial Markets counting on washington to do more to help ease the pandemics economic pain. Chief of staff meadows, you saw him there, said the white house would aim for splaulmaller deal helping airlines is one example. They blame nancy pelosi but she was making progress until the tweet bomb yesterday. And you see the site tonight salt lake city, no doubt the coronavirus and its Economic Impact will be flashpoints. Vp debates do not usually alter the course of an election but as we look inside the debate hall here, we should be reminded this campaign is anything but normal.
