Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleNATO’s chief says he’s confident that all 28 members of the military alliance can safely share information, amid doubts about the nature of US President Donald Trump’s discussions with Russian diplomats.
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg says that “I trust all allies enough, and I’m absolutely certain that they are able to share and to handle this information in a good way.”
Stoltenberg tells reporters in Brussels that he appreciates “the cooperation we have between all allies when it comes to sharing intelligence.”
