Anja Manuel on Munich Conference: There’s Going To Be a Lot of Conversations About How U.S. Can Continue To Be a Strong Ally to NATO

EXCERPT:

MANUEL: “Lots of conversations here on the ground about whether the CODEL can even come because, of course, the government may be shut down due to ISIS unmentionable policies. I think Marco Rubio is going to have to really talk about how our relationships continue to be important. A lot of you said it, wrecking ball politics. I think there's going to be a lot of conversation here behind the scenes about how U.S. can continue to be a strong ally to NATO, not out of nostalgia, but because our own security and prosperity depends on it. And that's what I'm seeing in all the side events already.”
