It was a pleasure to meet with @BENS_org delegation. Good to discuss priorities for the upcoming #NATOsummit in The Hague, the need to boost defence spending and the importance to strengthen the industrial base on both sides of the Atlantic.
This week: a BENS delegation is in Europe ➡️Thank you @USNATO for welcoming us to discuss the opportunities and challenges ahead for the U.S., NATO, and allied nations.
.@USAMBNATO met with representatives from @BENS_org, led by retired USAF General Timothy Ray.
When increased defense spending meets American innovation, there is tremendous potential to create new jobs, bolster our industrial base and strengthen the Alliance.
