Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) congratulated President Biden on his inauguration and stressed, “A strong NATO will benefit both North America and Europe,” and “we look forward to close cooperation.” Former President Trump threatened to withdraw US troops from NATO member states and demanded a significant increase in defense spending.
Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga also moved quickly. “Japan and the United States are allies firmly united by ties and common values,” Suga said on Twitter. “We work with President Biden and President Biden’s team to strengthen our alliance and realize a free and open Indo-Pacific. I look forward to doing it.”
President Biden said at his inauguration ceremony in front of the Capitol in Washington, DC that “we will restore our alliance and once again engage with the world to solve today’s and tomorrow’s challenges, not yesterday’s challenges.” He said he would work on it. He also promised, “We will lead not simply by example of strength, but by example of strength,” and “we will be strong and trusted partners for peace, development and security.”
