☆ In Munich, Harris Aims to Reassure European Allies as Trump Disparages NATO
▼ + stars: | 2024-02-15 | by ( Peter Baker | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +1 min

As Air Force Two taxied for takeoff bound for Germany, Vice President Kamala Harris made her way through the plane handing out heart-shaped Valentine’s Day cookies. It was good practice for her trip to the Munich Security Conference, where her mission will be to reassure European allies that America still loves them. Arriving in Munich even as House Republicans block military aid to Ukraine and former President Donald J. Trump vows to encourage Russia to attack “delinquent” NATO allies, Ms. Harris has the unenviable task of telling European leaders not to worry too much about those things. And she faces the challenge of making the case that Mr. Trump and his backers are wrong about the value of alliances. While the meetings she and Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken will have in Munich will be aimed at calming European leaders, the speech she will deliver to the conference on Friday will be aimed as much at the American audience back home.

Avionul cu care călătorea Kamala Harris a trebuit să revină la sol duminică din cauza unei probleme tehnice, în timp ce vicepreşedinta americană decolase spre Guatemala pentru primul său turneu internaţional, notează AFP, citat de agerpres.ro. "Sunt bine, sunt bine", a dat asigurări Kamala Harris, ridicând două degete în sus, zâmbind după aterizare, adăugând totuşi: "Cu toţii am spus o mică rugăciune, dar suntem bine". Vicepreşedinta ar urma să schimbe avionul şi să plece spre Guatemala fără prea mare întârziere. Nu există îngrijorări majore cu privire la securitatea" fostei senatoare californiene, a explicat purtătoarea sa de cuvânt, Symone Sanders. "Aterizarea a decurs însă complet normal", a precizat ea.

Cinci minute mai târziu, „Jasmine” şi-a făcut apariţia printre jurnalişti, fără perucă, şi le-a dezvăluit adevărata ei identitate, anunţând: „farsă de 1 Aprilie!”. Nu este pentru prima dată când Jill Biden îi „tachinează” pe pasagerii avionului cu care călătoreşte. Pe vremea când soţul ei era vicepreşedinte al SUA, ea s-a strecurat într-un compartiment pentru bagaje la bordul Air Force Two şi a strigat „Bau!” către prima persoană care l-a deschis, potrivit mass-media americane. Jurnaliştii care au relatat despre păcăleala de 1 aprilie au recunoscut că au fost „total păcăliţi” de deghizarea Primei Doamne, declarându-se totodată convinşi că nici măcar propria ei echipă nu a recunoscut-o. În ceea ce priveşte batonul de îngheţată de vanilie, tras în ciocolată, acesta a fost „delicios”, au precizat jurnaliştii.

Trump a discutat conținutul scrisorii în timpul unui podcast publicat luni de Lisa Boothe, lider de opinie conservator. "Practic îi urez noroc și, știi, avea câteva pagini și am scris-o din inimă, pentru că vreau să-l văd făcând bine. Hillary Clinton, lucrurile pe care le-a spus au fost oribile", a spus el. Joe Biden nu a publicat scrisoarea lui Trump, însă a catalogat-o ca fiind "foarte generoasă". E mai radical decât Bernie Sanders", a spus Trump.
