The NATO First Act Would Advance Transatlantic Security

By Heritage

From Heritage: “An effective strategy for maximizing America’s national security and reinforcing the indivisibility of transatlantic security should emphasize NATO’s role in U.S.–European relations. The NATO First Act, H.R. 2797, introduced by Reps. Michael Turner (R–OH) and Jim Marshall (D–GA) contains several elements that would achieve that aim . . .

In fashioning a NATO-first agenda, the U.S. Congress and the Obama
Administration should reject ‘Europe first’ and instead take concrete
steps–such as enlargement and missile defense cooperation–to advance a successful transatlantic security policy.”
