After attending a meeting of the ministers of foreign affairs of NATO member states in early December, United States Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau lamented in a social media post that the U.S. had long "failed to address the glaring inconsistency between its relations with NATO and the EU".
According to Landau, countries that form part of both organizations laud trans-Atlantic cooperation within the context of NATO but support agendas "adverse to U.S. interests and security" such as "censorship," "climate fanaticism," "open borders" and "support for Communist Cuba" in EU settings.
