The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what recent assessment he has made of the ongoing commitment of the United States to the European Reassurance Initiative.

Answered by Luke Pollard

The Secretary of State has not discussed the US’ European Reassurance Initiative with the new US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth. When the Secretary of State met with Secretary Hegseth in Washington DC last week he discussed working together to achieve peace and security in Europe, including bringing an end to the war in Ukraine and building sustainable deterrence on the continent.
