00:00The United States has defended Europe for generations.
00:04And the president said, all he said was that our jets would need to take off from bases
00:08in Europe or our ships from ports to strike targets in the Middle East, Iranian targets
00:17that threaten European interests even more directly than they threaten us.
00:22But too many of our allies said no, or tried to drown us in arcane legal debates, or criticized
00:30us publicly for doing what they aren't prepared or able to do themselves.
00:36It was shameful.
00:38Thank you very much, Secretary Huxley, dear Pete.
00:40There's much to discuss.
00:42I'm announcing today a six-month Department of War review that will examine America's force
00:48posture and basing in Europe, up to six months, could be less.
00:52Let's call it the NATO 3.0 review.
00:56This review will be conducted with the benefit of inputs from the United States military,
01:01from European command.
01:02It will involve consultations with the U.S. Congress and with our allies.
01:08It's a review that some countries will fail and others will pass with flying colors.
01:13In the end, the review is intended to both improve U.S. force posture and basing and strengthen
01:22NATO 3.0.
01:25These CEOs are of the areas.
01:25Thank you, Mr. President and the U.S. Congresswoman Council.
01:27ā¦
