Thank you, Minister, for being here.
Thank you, Dom, Ron, John, Claude, and André for joining us as well to provide background detail.
Minister, the government is requesting $28.5 million to support the deployment of personnel under Operation Reassurance, and Randall touched on this. You suggested this is so that we'll be taking the lead of a NATO group in Latvia. That commitment was made before the U.S. election when we didn't know the outcome. We didn't know who was going to become president.
Since then, we certainly received some mixed signals about NATO during the campaign and since the election, from the new administration. What does a Trump presidency mean for our engagement in NATO in general and for our presence in Europe in particular?
