ICYMI: McCaul Led Bipartisan Delegation to Northern Europe

Statement

Date: Sept. 8, 2023
Location: Washington, D.C.
Issues: Foreign Affairs

"Through his unprovoked war of aggression against Ukraine, Putin sought to divide and weaken the NATO alliance. He achieved exactly the opposite. The alliance has never been stronger, thanks in large part to the important contributions being made by the Netherlands and our newest NATO ally, Finland. The addition of Sweden hopefully this fall will also bolster the alliance, as our delegation saw first-hand, including at site visits to SAAB and the Berga Naval Base. We left Finland and Sweden knowing beyond a doubt that both nations will add significant military capabilities to the alliance.

The conversations with leaders in each of these countries gave our delegation a great deal of hope. I'm proud to have led this trip and reassured our allies -- on a bipartisan basis -- that America will continue to stand with them in defense of freedom around the world."
