As stated by Spokesperson Tommy Pigott:
Secretary of State Marco Rubio met with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte at the NATO Foreign Ministers' Meeting in Helsingborg, Sweden, where they discussed strategic imperatives for the Alliance, including increased Allied defense spending, the upcoming NATO Summit in Ankara, and expanded transatlantic defense production. They discussed U.S. opposition to protectionist measures that risk NATO interoperability and readiness, weaken the transatlantic defense industrial base, and jeopardize the ability to deliver equipment to our warfighters. They also reviewed international efforts to promote freedom of navigation and maritime security in key international waterways.
