FOREIGN AFFAIRS – NATO & DANGER OF AMERICAN ISOLATIONISM - 30 July 2024

Sir Julian Lewis: Does the Foreign Secretary share my concern that the dominant strand in the US Republican party is, at the moment, falling into the trap of renewed isolationism? What can we do to try to impress on our American allies that if they turn away from NATO they will only postpone a conflict that could otherwise be avoided completely?

[The Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs (Mr David Lammy): I know that the right hon. Gentleman speaks from immense experience on these matters. He will recognise that there are range of opinions on these issues within both political parties in the United States. I was very pleased that Donald Trump spoke recently to President Zelensky and that a supplemental $61 billion of aid to Ukraine was found recently.]
