NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said Thursday the alliance can do more in the Middle East but stopped short of detailing how allies might satisfy President Donald Trump’s demand that they become more involved in the region.
“NATO has the potential to contribute more to regional stability and the fight against international terrorism,†Stoltenberg told reporters at the alliance’s headquarters in Brussels.
A day earlier, Trump called on NATO to get more involved in the Middle East, where tensions have soared after the U.S. killed a top Iranian general last week.
