Hoyer Statement on House Resolution Affirming U.S. Commitment to NATO’s Article 5
WASHINGTON, DC – House Democratic Whip Steny H. Hoyer (MD) released the following statement today after working with House Republican leaders on a resolution that affirms our nation’s commitment to NATO's Article 5. Whip Hoyer is an original co-sponsor of the resolution, H. Res. 397, which was introduced today:
“I want to thank Majority Leader McCarthy for working with me and a bipartisan group of Members to introduce a resolution reaffirming America’s commitment to Article 5’s collective defense provision of the North Atlantic Treaty. Our alliance must leave no doubt about our readiness to come to one another’s common defense. With Russia continuing its aggression in Eastern Europe and its cyberwar against the world’s democracies, NATO is as relevant as it ever was during the Cold War. I hope the House will take a strong, bipartisan vote to pass this resolution soon.”
