Republican and Democratic leaders will invite NATO Secretary-General Jens Stolte...
WASHINGTON - Republican and Democratic leaders will invite NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg to address Congress next month, offering a rare honor to the head of an organization often derided by President Donald Trump.
The party leaders will ask Stoltenberg to speak to a joint meeting of the House of Representatives and Senate in April as the alliance celebrates its 70th anniversary, congressional aides said on Monday. U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi consulted the Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, as well as Kevin McCarthy, the top House Republican and Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer as she planned the invitation. All support the idea, aides said.
In February, Pelosi led a delegation of U.S. lawmakers to Brussels, where they sought to reassure European allies that differences over Trump’s policies were mere “family squabbles” and transatlantic ties remained strong.The European Union and United States have traditionally been the closest of allies, also working together through NATO.
