Pompeo says US must not let Russia 'drive wedge' between NATO allies
The US should not let Russian President Vladimir Putin “drive a wedge between friends and NATO”, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo warned on Monday, according to Euronews report.
The politician made the remarks alongside Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto in Budapest. Pompeo also said the US had been absent from central Europe for too long, which he described as unacceptable.
Speaking on the political crisis in Ukraine, Pompeo urged Hungary to support the country in its quest for independence. Hungary depends on Russia for its energy and also benefits from Chinese investment.
