Following today's conclusion of the NATO Summit in Wales, Congressman Michael Turner, Chairman of the U.S. Delegation to the NATO Parliamentary Assembly, released the following statement:

"NATO continues to suffer significantly from a lack of definitive U.S. leadership.

Right now, the Obama Administration has admitted it has no coordinated plan or stated objectives to combat ISIS and has refused to call the movement of 1,000 Russian troops and substantial military artillery into Ukraine an invasion of sovereign territory.

The President's worldview has been disproved by his foreign policy, and yet he continues to remain absent as world events move forward.

When the United States fails to provide decisive international leadership, NATO is weakened and unable to successfully deter or confront worldwide threats."
