US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has reaffirmed that the United States will remain a member of NATO but is demanding deep reforms of the alliance. Rubio made the statement before the House Foreign Affairs Committee.

According to Deutschlandfunk, Rubio spoke before the House Foreign Affairs Committee in Washington. He emphasized that the US remains in NATO but demands reforms. He did not specify any concrete changes.

Rubio also announced that Donald Trump will attend the NATO summit in Turkey next month. The summit takes place against the backdrop of growing tensions between the US and some European partners who are demanding higher defense spending.

EuroPulse reported on June 3, 2026, that Trump considers a ticket with Vice President Vance and Secretary of State Rubio for the 2028 election “unbeatable” (https://europulse.today/trump-vance-rubio-2028-unschlagbar/).
