Estonian Foreign Minister Sven Mikser said he was “quite encouraged” that U.S. President-elect Donald Trump would maintain a strong U.S. commitment to European security despite comments that had sparked concern during the election campaign.
Mikser said he was still waiting to see whom Trump would nominate as secretary of state, but said recent remarks by Trump and his transition team had helped assuage concerns raised when the Republican candidate said he would consider a country’s contributions to the NATO alliance before coming to its defense.
