But lets be clear. Its not clear that in this country there is the kind of support we may need for defense spending at large, and it is definitely clear there is no support or no knowledge for nato.

Important it is that they go out and tell their parliamentarians how central nato is and defense spending is, we have a job to do here ourselves. Our interim general scocroft that when were thinking here how to engage in capitol hill that narrative. Ill take the woman in the back. Thanks. My name is trina flocrant. While in washington im at the transatlantic academy. What you said about the nato issue is music in my ears. I just wish it had been said by the defense and Deterrence Program or defense and deterrence posture review whats going on. Because one of the things that was very apparent during that time was the silence from and i know that you as ambassador could probably not say what you said now, but from an american perspective, there was very little said to actually push the europeans in that direction you just outlined.
