Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what representations they will make to the US President-elect after his inauguration following his description of the NATO alliance as obsolete.

During their meeting at the White House on 27 January, President Trump told the Prime Minister, my Rt Hon. Friend the Member for Maidenhead (Mrs May) that he is 100% behind NATO. We will continue to work with the US to ensure NATO is capable of planning for and responding to the full range of threats its members face. This must include NATO Allies investing more in their own defence.
