"We, back in the Trump administration, were talking about decreasing NATO troops and, if you think about that, that saves Americans a lot of money. We have a big debate in this country about whether or not America should be paying for security. Whether it's through the U.N. peacekeeping operations or NATO operations, the American taxpayer pays a whole bunch of money."
"So now, we're adding NATO troops to a situation where we wanted to decrease NATO troops. The Brits have announced 600 new troops going into Kosovo. This is a situation that with American leadership absolutely can be solved, and it doesn't mean American boots on the ground." "I'll add one little piece here: When I was in the region last time, I ran into a Democrat U.S. senator who happened to be in the region as well, and he confided in me and said, 'Gosh, you know, I don't agree with you on much, but this situation is out of control and the White House needs to do more,'" he said. "I came back home after that meeting — that was this summer — and the White House called me and wanted a briefing on what I had been seeing in the region.
