President Joe Biden has reaffirmed the US commitment to Nato after his predecessor Donald Trump questioned the organisation’s relevance.

Shortly after arriving at the alliance’s headquarters for the first Nato summit of his presidency, Mr Biden sat down with Nato secretary general Jens Stoltenberg and underscored the US commitment to Article 5 of the alliance charter, which spells out that an attack on one member is an attack on all and is to be met with a collective response.
