Blinken Attends Final NATO Meeting of Biden Administration with Focus on Ukraine

The Brussels meeting addresses Ukraine's defense, NATO security priorities, and preparations for a leadership transition in the U.S.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken is in Brussels for the final NATO foreign ministers' meeting under the Biden administration, scheduled for December 3-4.
The agenda prioritizes bolstering allied support for Ukraine as it continues to defend against Russia's invasion, with recent U.S. aid including advanced weaponry and eased restrictions on its use.
President-elect Donald Trump has signaled a potential shift in U.S. policy on Ukraine, raising concerns among NATO allies about continued American support.
Blinken will also discuss deepening NATO partnerships in regions such as the Middle East, North Africa, and the Sahel, and preparations for the 2025 NATO summit in The Hague.
Following the NATO meeting, Blinken will attend an OSCE Ministerial Council meeting in Malta to address broader regional security challenges, including developments in Ukraine and Georgia.
