the NATO summit is being hosted in Washington DC this week. So, I have a few related updates and then I'll get right to your questions. Yesterday, Secretary Austin hosted NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg here at the Pentagon for a bilateral discussion.
GEN. RYDER: The meeting was a great kickoff to NATO summit events this week, which provide an opportunity to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the NATO Alliance. During their meeting, the Secretary underscored the progress NATO has made on strengthening its deterrence and defense and thanked Secretary General Stoltenberg for his leadership of the alliance during one of the most challenging periods in NATO's history.
A full readout of the meeting is available on the DOD website. Of note, following the meeting, Secretary Austin presented Secretary General Stoltenberg with the Department of Defense Medal for Distinguished Public Service, the highest honor that a Secretary of Defense can present to a non-US citizen, in recognition of Secretary Stoltenberg's decade of skillful, principled and visionary leadership.
In terms of other NATO summit-related engagements, Deputy Secretary of Defense Kathleen Hicks delivered remarks earlier today at the NATO Summit Defense Industry Forum here in Washington, hosted by the US Chamber of Commerce. Her remarks will be posted on defense.gov later today. And later this afternoon, Secretary Austin will participate in the 75th anniversary commemoration event hosted by President Biden at the Mellon Auditorium, where the original signing of the North Atlantic Treaty took place on April 4, 1949. And tomorrow morning Secretary Austin will deliver remarks at the NATO Public Forum to highlight the continued strength, unity and resolve of the NATO alliance to safeguard our collective defense and tackle security challenges together.
and Thursday, the Secretary will join President Biden for the NATO summit discussions with NATO heads of state at the Washington Convention Center.
During these sessions, he'll be engaged on discussions to ramp up transatlantic defense industrial production, ensure adequate defense investment from allies, demonstrate continued commitment to Ukraine, and the deepening of practical cooperation between NATO and its Indo-Pacific partners to include Australia, Japan, New Zealand and the Republic of Korea.
Wednesday evening, Secretary Austin will also host NATO defense ministers for a dinner honoring NATO's 75th anniversary and the Alliance's accomplishments at Fort McNair in Washington DC. So, a busy, productive and important week ahead in support of the NATO alliance, the greatest defensive alliance in history.
Stay tuned for a comprehensive briefing on the key issues of the day.

Equipment and munitions were provided not cash. Funding actually is a misnomer . Actually the munitions provided must be restocked in USA by American manufacturing companies recuperating 60% of the funding.

It’s a give take relationship with America and India. India needs America to help pressure China and America needs India to press Russia. At the end of the day when shit hits the fan India will go running to America for support.

lol they’re isolated. Their friends are China, Iran, Cuba(barely), India(barely) and that’s it. Everything that’s important for Russia lies in the west so all these other countries are being used to a degree
why is NATO insisting on expanding on Russian borders, knowing that it's a cause for war due to danger to RF?

You got that all backwards user (troll) The reason countries under Soviet occupation decided to join NATO after soviet fell apart was to prevent them from being occupied by russia ever again. NATO doesn’t go out there and try to recruit countries, they come to NATO because of stated above. Just food for thought, why would anyone want to join russia🤷🏼♂️
