Official account of U.S. Ambassador to @NATO, Matthew Whitaker.
The Trump Administration is ready to lead. At the #NATOSummit, 32 leaders are committing to the 5% defense investment pledge. This isn’t just spending: 👉 It’s about building real military power 👉 A stronger industrial base 👉 Interoperability that lasts a generation We want…
6 months into the Trump Administration: Bold vision. Real results. And we’re just getting started. ✅ NATO Allies hitting 5% defense spending – DELIVERED. ✅ Allies stepping up to pay for Ukraine’s defense – DELIVERED. ✅ Equalized defense burden sharing – DELIVERED. ✅…

Today on @AmericaRpts with @johnrobertsFox and @SandraSmithFox, I explained how President Trump’s leadership is driving European and Canadian defense spending, and how American industry is already reaping the rewards. 🇺🇸 #AmericaFirst #PeaceThroughStrength
.@USAmbNATO: "We moved the burden off the American taxpayer for European defense, and onto European taxpayers, where it should be. The traditional defense of Europe is now going to be borne by the European population."
I spoke with Fox & Friends First about @POTUS's priorities in addressing the Russia-Ukraine conflict. #PeaceThroughStrength #AmericaFirst @FoxNews | @CarleyShimkus | @ToddPiro
I joined Jon Glasgow on @Newsmax to discuss the Trump Administration's commitment to a diplomatic solution for the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
My recent conversation with Fox and Friends First captured the Trump Administration’s approach to @NATO: •Peace through strength •Made in America •Paid for by Europe @FoxNews | @CarleyShimkus | @ToddPiro
Honored to welcome Croatian MEP @StjepoBartulica to NATO HQ. The United States, NATO, and the European Parliament stand united in defending democracy. Croatia is a key Ally, advancing our shared values and promoting stability across the Western Balkans and beyond.

From the F-35 and MH-139 Grey Wolf helicopters to the Eurofighter and the Gripen, the increasingly integrated industrial base fuels innovation, strengthens supply chains, and secures @NATO's technological edge.

President Trump’s 50-day warning to Putin is strategic and designed to bring Russia to the negotiating table and end the senseless killing. #PeaceThroughStrength #CeasefireNow
Welcomed Gen. Alexus Grynkewich to NATO HQ as he assumes his post as Supreme Allied Commander Europe. A strong start to a vital mission: defending freedom and strengthening the Alliance. #PeaceThroughStrength #WeAreNATO

Spoke with @Newsmax this morning to discuss the immediate impact on @NATO driven by President Trump’s leadership.
"[President Trump] has made it Europe's responsibility for the traditional defense and deterrence on the European continent, including the war with Ukraine and Russia." — Matthew Whitaker, @USAmbNATO
Great to join @Foxandfriends this morning to discuss yesterday’s groundbreaking policy announcement from the Oval Office. @POTUS | @NATO
"BUILT IN AMERICA, PAID FOR BY EUROPE": U.S. agrees to sell NATO arms for aid to Ukraine | @MattWhitaker46
After a historic meeting in the Oval Office, I spoke with @AmericaRpts about how Donald Trump's @NATO is moving the burden for European defense from the U.S. taxpayer to Europe.
.@USAmbNATO: "The days of the United States sending unlimited taxpayer dollars to defend Ukraine are over. @POTUS has made a very smart decision and agreement with NATO, which says Europe and Canada will pay for the weapons — the United States will manufacture them."
The work we’re doing at @NATO on behalf of @POTUS is already making an undeniable impact for the American people. 🇺🇸 #AmericaFirst
President Trump on Ukraine: "We make the best equipment, the best missiles... the European nations know that... We've made a deal today where we're going to be sending them weapons and they're going to be paying for them. The United States will NOT be having any payment made."
Joined @SquawkCNBC this morning to discuss how the Trump Administration is focused on the goal of an enduring peace.
.@USAmbNATO: "Ending the slaughter on the battlefield in Ukraine is the top priority — and bringing a ceasefire, and then ultimately an enduring peace is the goal."
MONDAY: U.S. Ambassador to NATO, @MattWhitaker46 Assistant Secretary Department of Homeland Security, @TriciaOhio Investigative reporter @IdahoStatesman, @kfixler Former CIA Station Chief in Moscow, @danielhoffmanDC
One year ago in Butler, PA, President Trump survived an attempt on his life. He rose bloody but unbowed and kept fighting for the American people. We are stronger because of his courage. 🇺🇸 #MAGA #PeaceThroughStrength
One year ago today — July 13, 2024. Butler, Pennsylvania. “I WAS SAVED BY GOD TO MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN. I BELIEVE THAT.” –President Donald J. Trump
