[US Defense Secretary States That NATO Must Shoulder the Responsibility of Containing Russia]
On June 10, 2025 Washington time, US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth stated at the House hearing on the fiscal year 2026 budget:
Our strategy is based on common sense. Our NATO allies possess the economic strength to contain Russia, while our own resources are becoming increasingly strained. As we shift our focus to the Pacific region, we expect our NATO allies to invest more resources in defense so as to establish a strong deterrent shield in Europe. The NATO allies should bear primary responsibility for conventional defense in Europe, as it is something that should have been done long ago and is fair to American taxpayers.
