and we welcome that, because we see the strong commitment of the united states to the trans-atlantic bond not only in words but also in deeds. these days, the united states is deploying new forces, additional forces to europe, which is of great importance for the security of europe, and which shows the strong trans-atlantic commitment of the united states. and we are very grateful for this commitment. you also stressed that just as the u.s. stood with europe, europe stood with the united states. we have to remember that the only time the alliance has invoked the collective defense, article 5, was after the attack on the united states. this was more than just a gesture, several hundred thousand canada and european troops have served in afghanistan and several thousand have paid the ultimate price. the bond between the united states and nato, the united states and europe encoded in the nato alliance, is very important today because we live in times of turmoil and instability, and we need a strong alliance more than ever. and we are stronger when we stand together. during our meeting, w
