00:00We have heard comments from President Donald Trump putting a question mark over Article 5.
00:07Do you feel confident in Latvia that if you had a direct threat from Russia, for example, on your border, that the U.S. would come to your defense?
00:17Yes, we are confident.
00:20Also, in declaration, it's clearly underlined, clearly stated, commitment to Article 5.
00:27Article 5 is one for all, all for one.
00:30It is about collective defense.
00:32It is about solidarity.
00:33But solidarity, which must be based in a common spending, in a common capabilities, in common threat perception.
00:40Russia is a threat to all of us.
00:42Russia will remain threat to all of us.
00:44This has been also underlined in the declaration, which are the most important words in this regard.
00:50Solidarity is there, and the financial investment shows the willingness to deal together, and also willingness to make the alliance stronger, more efficient, more lethal.
01:03So, President Trump's comments didn't make you concerned?
01:06There have been a number of comments from time to time.
01:09I think the most important is not always focus on every comment.
01:13The most important is focus on the common activities, on common deeds, on common works what we are doing, not just focus on some of the comments.
