Trump’s NATO nominee commits to alliance, despite MAGA opponents

Matt Whitaker stated that a key part of his mission at NATO is to encourage allies to meet Trump's demand for a 5% defense spending increase, which shows a commitment to NATO despite criticism from Trump.
Whitaker assured senators that the U.S. Commitment to NATO is 'ironclad' and emphasized support for European allies and Canada.
NATO leaders note that the Ukraine war and Trump's comments have led most NATO states to meet the 2% GDP military spending target, with border countries spending even more.
Whitaker agreed with Vice President JD Vance that Russia started the war by invading Ukraine, framing the unity of NATO as crucial against such threats.
