INTERVIEW: US Permanent Representative to NATO, Julianne Smith

NATO is promising to support Ukraine for as long as it takes in the war against Russia, but the July meeting of the alliance won’t provide a concrete date for the Ukraine to join up. Membership includes a commitment from NATO countries to collectively respond if any country faces an armed attack. While NATO is increasing links in the Indo-Pacific, a key representative has sought to quell fears the alliance is attempting to expand in the Southern Hemisphere.
