George W. Bush in Brussels yesterday U.S. President George W. Bush today held the first summit-level meeting with his NATO allies after his reelection. At the summit at NATO headquarters in Brussels, Bush secured modest NATO support for training Iraqi security forces. While Bush said NATO remains the focal point in Washington’s ties with Europe, there were signs that Germany and France continue to push for a greater EU role in the trans-Atlantic relationship. The summit gave a show of support to the Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko in his bid to bring his country closer to the alliance.
