Clinton Defends NATO Expansion At West Point Ceremony
President Clinton argued for expanding NATO to keep Europe peaceful and democratic, despite risks and costs. He said the move would bind new members to collective defense even as Russia opposes it, with 896 cadets graduating at Michie Stadium and a July NATO summit upcoming. The Pentagon cites USD 200 million yearly for a decade, while Berger signals a broader national debate and Congress must approve.
