John Kirby, strategic communications coordinator at the White House National Security Council (NSC), said at a briefing that the United States is not trying to replicate the NATO military-political alliance in the Asia-Pacific region. TASS.
We are not talking about a “light” Asian version of NATO here. “NATO is a transatlantic defense alliance,” he said.
Representatives from South Korea in particular will attend the summit. Kirby argues that an escalation of armed conflict in the Asia-Pacific region is possible.
