Quote: "We are actually having a kind of down-to-business conversation about how we go forward together in a world in which Europe, which is obviously a very wealthy continent, can and is taking primary responsibility for its own conventional defence, with, obviously, the United States remaining committed to NATO, remaining linked to this alliance of course, and also Europe taking the lead in support to Ukraine."
