Durbin and Gallego urge the Trump administration to maintain Baltic security initiatives amid concerns over potential U.S. funding cuts.
Quiver AI Summary
U.S. Senators Dick Durbin and Ruben Gallego have expressed concern over potential plans by the Trump Administration to halt longstanding U.S. security assistance programs in Europe, including the Baltic Security Initiative (BSI). They criticized this move in a letter to key officials, arguing it would undermine U.S. commitments to NATO allies and embolden adversaries like Russia.
The senators emphasized that ending the BSI contradicts President Trump's reaffirmation of support for NATO at a recent summit, calling it a "critical betrayal of commitments to our allies." They also pointed out that the decision would negatively impact American safety and interests while undermining military readiness in the Baltic region.
Durbin, alongside other senators, urged the administration to reverse its course, highlighting the importance of maintaining U.S. security cooperation in an increasingly dangerous global environment. They reaffirmed their ongoing support for the Baltics in Congress, including securing additional funding for the BSI in upcoming appropriations.
