NATO Calls Biden ‘Next US President’ As Trump Fights On

The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) has called the United States President-elect Joe Biden the next president of the country amid legal battles instituted by the incumbent US President Donald Trump.

The Organization provides collective security against political and military threats in parts of the world.

NATO congratulated Biden on Monday, in a statement published on its website while assuring the president-elect of its cooperation in enforcing global security.

“NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg spoke with Joe Biden on Monday (23 November 2020) to congratulate him on his election as the next President of the United States and Kamala Harris as the next Vice-President.

“Mr. Stoltenberg thanked President-elect Biden for being a long-standing supporter of NATO and the transatlantic relationship.

“They discussed the importance of our transatlantic Alliance as the cornerstone of our collective security,” it stated.

In another development, Biden appointed two key White House officials today, Monday – Reema Dodin (Deputy Director of the White House Office of Legislative Affairs) and Shuwanza Goff (Deputy Director of the White House Office of Legislative Affairs).

He said he needed to put up a formidable team ahead of the January 20, 2021 inauguration, so they could immediately hit the ground running upon assumption of office.

“These diverse, experienced, and talented individuals demonstrate President-elect Biden’s continued commitment to building an administration that looks like America and is ready to deliver results for working families on day one.

“The American people are eager for our Administration to get to work, and today’s appointees will help advance our agenda and ensure every American has a fair shot.

“In a Biden administration, we will have an open door to the Hill and this team will make sure their views are always represented in the White House,” Biden stated.

Meanwhile, Trump has alleged electoral irregularities at the November 3 presidential election, and has since refused to concede defeat.
