NATO Chief Warns Against Defense Cuts -- Voice of America
NATO's top official is raising concerns about the way some members are responding to tough economic times, saying they could be compromising their safety.
NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen warned the reduction in defense spending is a matter of concern. "My appeal to governments is, firstly, hold the line, stop the cuts. Secondly, make more efficient use of the resources you do have, through more multinational cooperation. And thirdly, once the economies recover, start to increase defense investments again," he stated.
Rasmussen spoke in Brussels Thursday ahead of a meeting of NATO defense ministers.
