also coming up let's go wild as their side suppresses to the final of the year. a 2024 after peasy, the netherlands to the problem funding the welcome to the program. nato secretary general against dalton. burke has reaffirmed the alliances intention of integrating ukraine into the alliance a joint statement by nato's 32 members said that ukraine is on a quote, a reversible pass to membership. they also pledge to 40000000000 years of age next year in another boost for ukraine. it was the 9th that alliance members are in the process of delivering the 1st f, 16 more planes to the country that's less and now to walk the nato secretary

general, have to say, as, as your crane continues, is watchable. reforms will continue to support them on the universe of volt paul to nate, don't membership the work we are doing together now will ensure that when the time is right. ukraine conjoined without delay. it is not the question of this, but with all right, let's cross over to washington now and speak with bradley bowman. he is a senior director of the center on military and political power. the foundation for the defense of democracies thanks for joining us on dw use. so basis being the alliances at 75th anniversary summit. how relevant is nato in 2024. as i think nato as an alliance is more relevant then it is ever been. you know, when you look back to the founding of nato 1949 signed their and constitution

avenue in washington dc. the north atlantic treaty are right in that very room that they're in this week. one of the goals was to keep the mosque out from and we keep mosque out from invading any members of nato. and that remains as the communique as the, the declaration release today. emphasizes the number one concern of the alliance right now that the, the front from russia has manifested most clearly in ukraine. and so i think the alliance is incredibly relevant. i think america needs nato more than ever. and i think nato means needs america more than ever. and nato's relevant not just in europe, to trend ends of transatlantic security. i would argue it's also relevant to the situation, the endo pacific of china, and is also relevant in the middle east. so it's a fundamentally vital and important alliance. now, nato leaders agreed on a substantial ukraine, a package that includes establishing a nato, combined in germany,

to facilitate training and delivery of security assistance to ukraine. tell us how important is this step? i think it's a very important, it's is one of several initiatives being announced and codified this week in washington where you see uh, europeans increasingly stepping up. uh and a lot of away got some of those countries i would say are stepping up belatedly, but better late than never in germany with its political importance in europe and it's large economy. and it's geography is vital to, to turn aggression against the alliance. strengthening the alliance of military posture. detroit posture on the alliance is eastern flank and supporting ukraine. and so i think this is the right decision or the right time. and i'm glad to see germany stepping forward to play. it's the appropriate role. how close is ukraine to becoming a member of nato? the, in the, in the declaration released today of the alliance and all 32 members were quite clear that ukraine's future is

a nato. so they were clear on that they were less clear on the timeline. they said, if you read the language carefully, when a lot allies agree and conditions are met, or you know, if is my kid said something about vague to me, i think i'd have to discipline them by the, you know, that's about as vague as you can get so the intention is clear, the timeline is not well that was brought the bowman, senior director of the center on military and political power at the foundation for the defense of democracies in washington. well, as us president joe biden was seeking to demonstrate his leadership qualities at the nato summit, pressure is main thing on him to a bonds in his bid for re election. a blow came from actor george clooney who is also one of the leading fundraisers for the democrats in the new york times county road. we're not going to win in november with this president. that's not just my opinion. that's the opinion of every sen. member of congress and governor,

i've spoken to in private a former us high speaker, nancy pelosi has declined to back biden's candidacy and urged him to make an early decision on whether to stay in the race for the white house up to the president. just aside, if he is going to run, we're all encouraging him to, to make that decision because time is running short of the, i think, overwhelming support of the, of the cost it's, it's not for me to say i'm not headed. the clock is anymore. but he is beloved, he is respected and people want him to make that decision. they don't use washington bureau chief in his po has more on the voices calling on by them to step aside. well it's uh, it's really called this despite the hold of the volume compared to come down to the bay divided by and sickness. and also really use the nato summit kind of to show what

a successful president bite in boston will be in the future. nothing really is coming down here in the united states square. the officer just talks about george clooney is very, very popular. he's a major donor. and, and he said that he just wrote him just the new york times piece that he just saw him lately in the t bite. and it's still the same man. i called him here. we all witnessed at the debate. and then we also mentioned that there's, of course, the still very influential, former speaker of the house, nancy pelosi, who talked about by in the very prominent tv interview. and when she says we are all encouraging him to make that decision because time is running out, this is kind of a typical way for her being such a experienced policy maker to didn't directly, bird spite and to reconsider his fit for the next. the next. those units poll data you, it's uh, washington bureau chief, right time to take
