Explanation: NATO remains our most important alliance. It is an irreplaceable asset for the security of the United States. We must do everything possible to work with Canada and the European allies to strengthen it for the many challenges ahead. NATO is facing, however, one of its most difficult crises in seven decades. It is not a crisis of military strength or readiness. The alliance is preserving the peace in Europe and containing an assertive Russia. It is not a crisis of relevance.

It is assisting the EU in managing the migration crisis through its maritime capacity.
