US Department of Defense: “Why Ukraine Matters” Remarks by Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III at the Halifax International Security Forum (As Delivered)
Mark, thanks for that generous introduction. It is great to be here with you all. And it’s always great to visit our outstanding Canadian allies—although I’m glad this conference isn’t held in February.
