Spending on NATO: Ambassador Matthew Whitaker explains the US' priorities for the alliance

Ambassador Matthew Whitaker, former Acting Attorney General during the President Donald Trump’s first administration, is carving out a place for himself in the President’s second term as the United States' Permanent Representative to NATO.

Confirmed earlier this month, Whitaker takes on the role at a crucial time in the alliance, as President Donald Trump enacts his ‘America First’ foreign policy agenda.

Ambassador Whitaker spoke with Scripps News about spending on NATO, his role as representative and the Trump administration's priorities for the alliance.
