In this episode, I walk you through the NATO charter and the background of America's oldest standing political alliance.

His European trip earlier this summer was a key element of that recommitment to multilateral diplomacy. The trip also finished with a summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin. European allies and Russia.  No two entities symbolize America’s core geopolitical interests than this, and the embodiment of America’s alliance with Western Europe and security check against Russia is found in the NATO charter.
