do nikki haley's comments here comfort you? >> absolutely certain that the new president and the new administration will be strongly committed to a strong nato. because strong nato is important for europe, but it is also important for the united states. two wor stability and peace in europe is also important for the united states. the only time nato has invoked article five was after an attack on the united states. and hundreds of thousands fought in that. >> have you spoken to the president-elect? >> i had a phone call with him after he was elected. that was a good conversation. he reconfirmed the strong commitment of the united states to nato, and this is something which is not only words, but also deeds, because we see the u.s. is increasing its presence in europe with a new brigade. this has a new strong bipartisan support. >> did he use the obsolete word with you? do you think he has justification? the message here from those close to him was nato was formed at a time when we were fighting communism. now the big issue is i
