If I would have a sentence, it is delivery on what we decided in the Hague last year.
So it was great what we did in the Hague, this 5% spend and the defence industry, etc.
But today, we took stock and a quarter of a trillion extra spent by Canadians and Europeans in two years.
It's staggering.
So we are delivering, and now we have to ramp up the defence industrial production even further, making progress, and maintain a support for Ukraine.
But in one word, it will be unity.
It's a bit like in a family.
You have families where you never quarrel, and then it bursts out completely.
You get a sort of volcano, and the whole thing is done.
Or you have families like where I come from, where we love to sometimes fight each other a bit, not put it under the carpet, get the issues on the table, and then reunite because you know you stick together.
Trump, for example, is completely committed to NATO.
I know.
Trump, 45.
I was prime minister.
Trump, 47.
Now, as Secretary General of NATO, he is completely committed.
But he has this one big issue where he is completely right, which is, hey, Mark, is it fair that we spend so much more on this whole thing than the Europeans and the Canadians?
And we are now solving that.
So commitment, yes, but also clear expectation.
It is a great honor to be here and to take up the position of NATO Secretary General.
