Hoyer Statement on Senate Passage of NATO Article 5 Affirmation
WASHINGTON, DC – House Democratic Whip Steny H. Hoyer (MD) released the following statement today after the Senate unanimously passed Senator Graham's amendment affirming our nation’s commitment to NATO's Article 5:
“I want to thank the Senate for unanimously passing Senator Graham’s amendment reaffirming America’s commitment to NATO’s Article 5 collective defense agreement. As Russia continues to threaten NATO allies in Eastern Europe and the Baltic region, never has it been more important to remind the world of NATO’s mission and solidarity. I have been working across the aisle in the House to bring a similar measure to the Floor, and I hope that the House will have an opportunity to vote on language reaffirming our NATO Article 5 commitment soon.”
