“I think you have seen NATO react to these violations as we react to them always, namely: when they enter your airspace or your defensive zone, you rise and intercepts them,” he said.
“And that’s how NATO did, and that’s how NATO will continue to do,” the Secretary of State added.
Rubio repeated the Word of the US Ambassador to the UN Michael Volz, who said the night before that the states would work with the Allies, “to protect every inch of NATO.”
“This obligation remains unchanged,” Rubio said.
