As President Trump and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo waver on NATO commitments, the House offers robust support. Russia should pay attention to lawmakers, not the loud voices coming from the White House.

Echoing some of Trump’s criticisms of NATO, Pompeo added renewed reasons to doubt that the U.S. would honor its treaty obligations on Wednesday. When asked during an interview with Fox News about U.S. defense of NATO member Montenegro, he responded, “I’m not going to get into hypotheticals about what might happen or how a certain scenario might unfold. But make no mistake about it: America has always been there when there were important American and global interests at stake.”
