Pentagon Chief Vows 'Unshakable Commitment' to NATO

US Secretary of Defense James Mattis reassured NATO allies Monday that Washington had an "unshakable commitment" to the military alliance, despite President Donald Trump previously deriding the organization as "obsolete."


On his first full day in office Mattis spoke by phone with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg and his British and Canadian counterparts.

Mattis "emphasized the United States' unshakable commitment to NATO" in his call with British Defense Secretary Michael Fallon, Pentagon spokesman Jeff Davis said in a statement reported by AFP.
