NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg emphasized the importance of the transatlantic alliance during a recent event marking the organization's anniversary. Stoltenberg highlighted the mutual security benefits that the United States and Europe derive from their partnership within NATO.
Stoltenberg underscored that the United States relies on Europe for its security just as much as Europe relies on the United States. He emphasized the collective defense principle enshrined in the NATO treaty, which states that an attack on one member is considered an attack on all members.
