00:00U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken arrived in Brussels on Wednesday for urgent talks
00:07with EU and NATO officials on boosting support for Ukraine.
00:13Officials anticipate a policy shift concerning U.S. support for Ukraine and NATO when Donald
00:18Trump returns to the White House.
00:20In the months leading up to the end of President Biden's term, Democrats are trying to implement
00:25as many priorities as they can while they have the majority in the Senate.
00:30While in Brussels, Blinken outlined plans for additional U.S. support to Ukraine before
00:35January.
00:36We've obligated just recently and pushed out the door another $8 billion in security assistance
00:42for Ukraine.
00:43That was in September.
00:44Another almost half a billion dollars just a few weeks ago.
00:48And President Biden is committed to making sure that every dollar we have at our disposal
00:52will be pushed out the door between now and January 20th.
00:57NATO Chief Mark Rutte said instability across Europe, the Middle East and the Indo-Pacific
01:01is increasingly interconnected, pointing to Moscow buying dual-use goods from China and
01:07drone technology from Iran.
01:10Blinken emphasized that NATO would also pursue a highly intense agenda during the last months
01:15of President Joe Biden's administration.
