Cleaning up Trump's mess: Senators privately met foreign allies to reassure them of NATO support

A bipartisan group of senators on Wednesday met with diplomats from North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) countries to reassure them of the Senate’s support for the alliance, The Associated Press reported.

The private meeting, which also included diplomats from European countries not in NATO, follows President Trump’s criticism of the alliance at a summit in Brussels earlier this month, which rattled longtime allies and startled lawmakers.

Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), helped initiate the meeting and said lawmakers wanted to “reassure these countries of our commitment to NATO and our commitment to their security,” according to the AP.

Roughly 20 senators as well as ambassadors and representatives from about nine countries — including from Ukraine, Latvia, Poland, Norway, Finland and new NATO member Montenegro — participated in the session.
