WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Thursday said NATO needs to adapt to confront threats from Russia’s increased aggression, Chinese strategic competition and uncontrolled migration.
“We must adapt our alliance to confront emerging threats … whether that’s Russian aggression, uncontrolled migration, cyber attacks, threats to energy security, Chinese strategic competition, including technology and 5G, and many other issues,” Pompeo said in opening remarks at a meeting of NATO foreign ministers in Washington.
