earlier on wednesday, the us defense secretary pete hex, of told european members of nato that they could no longer rely on us support. regarding ukraine hash in mind about of the reports from brussels. well now they've got a strong message from the americans that the you and that nature members have to stop relying on themselves. which means that they have to now think about ways to gather more cash, to send to team and also produce more weapons. they would have to send to keep, they were hoping to be able to convince trump to change some of those ideas, to the point that they were offering to buy more. what this of the americas more natural liquefied natural gas from the americans as, as, as a, as a sign of graphs you choose to was the, a security um, brenda, the americans have been providing you for many decades. but today i think they are going to definitely start talking about the 2nd option, which is basically europe is designing their own defense strategy away from the united states of america and exit made it clear when he said that the stock and do the spot to political realities

so there's been a lot of t leave reading on this statements made by the secretary of defense, pete hex asked what this means. so a lot of europeans in these hallways are trying to interpret what the actual reality could be emerging from washington. but the europeans are very clear and now clear eyed and potentially re committed at least many hope. so to really launching into a full fledged underscore and have their own defense capacities at speed, the us vice president. today, he talks a little bit about migration. i want you to take a listen to what he said. and of all the pressing challenges that the nations represented to your face. i believe there was nothing more urgent than mass migration. no voter on this continent went through the ballot box to open the floodgates to millions of unrelated immigrants. so kevin, i want to ask you, was the us vice president there? was he attempting to intervene in the german election, which is just days away? the well, i think that's certainly how it felt so many people in the audience. he also cited a number of other elections that had been criti
