with respect to the rapid -- response forces. and the readiness action plan we put forward. in warsaw, i announced $1 billion in our initiative. a sizable portion of that will be devoted to implementin ining various aspects of this readiness plan. we've increased rotations already. of personnel. in the baltic states, for example. we have the air policing. we have the activities taking place. in the baltic. and the black sea. but this allows us to supplement it. coordinate it, and integrate it further with additional contributions from other partners. what it signifies is nato's recognition that in light of recent russian actions as well

as rhetoric, we want to make it crystal clear. we mean what we say when we're talking about our article five commitments. and, an increased presence serves as a most effective deter event to additional russian aggression that we might see. um -- angela king. bloomberg. >> thank you, mr. president. what are your spekt expectations to what regional actors can provide to the coalition? is there a role there for iran as well? secretary kerry said today he expects the allied countries to coalesce around a specific plan by the end of september? what concrete ideas acommitment

forces. there's been logistical spofrt, intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance support. a variety of folks with different capabilities have made a contribution already. i'm confident we'll build on that strong foundation and the clear commitment and have the kind of coalition that will be required for the sustained effort we need to push isil back. now, john kerry will be traveling the region. to have further consultations with the regional actors and regional players. i think it is critical that we have arab states and specifically sunni majority states that are rejecting the kind of
