L. Linkevičius claims that he has elected the President of the United States not only for himself, but also for the entire world.
“We have to understand that each country elects a president, all countries do, but Americans elect a president for the whole world. American power is extremely important in all world events, crisis solutions, relations between Europe and America, between NATO and the European Union, ”the minister commented on the LRT radio program“ Morning Sounds ”on Sunday.
He listed what to expect from the Biden acquisition.

“Knowing what Joe Biden has stated, it can be expected that there will be more opportunities for multilateralism, that there will be more participation in global issues like climate change.
“The activities of NATO as an organization are likely to be viewed in a more constructive way, because we know that the previous administration was quite critical of it, and it was a really difficult period for the alliance,” Linkevičius said.
“We all hope to look back on Europe, in a real sense, more than it was,” he added.
Last year, the administration of US President Donald Trump announced that it would cut its spending on NATO funds. Trump himself has repeatedly expressed the desire for the Allies to increase their defense budgets.
Trump expressed doubts about the usefulness of NATO and often called other dependent member states.
L. Linkevičius also hoped that the J. Biden administration would not change the course of policy towards Lithuania, especially in the field of defense.
In fact, the presence of forces was constant, although it is not called that.
“It just came to our notice then. We have seen American forces deployed in our region, I mean the Baltic States and Poland, but especially Lithuania, for the first time in history in such significant numbers and sizes, and the exercises were conducted constantly. In fact, the presence of forces was constant, although it is not called that.
Everything we have seen is such a visible contribution to the security of the region. But there is also support for our military infrastructure. I would like to keep all this so that there is no going back, “said the chancellor.
J. Biden has visited Lithuania. During the visit, he confirmed that the United States would honor its defense commitments.
“I want to reaffirm our commitment to the North Atlantic Collective Defense Agreement. I myself wanted to make it very clear that, in accordance with its fifth article, we will certainly respond to aggression against a Member State. I want to make sure that we take our responsibilities very, very very, very seriously. Both the President of the United States and I view this responsibly. ” He spoke as Vice President of the United States in March 2014.
Linkevičius had no doubt that disputes over the results of the US presidential elections would go to court: “The president should take office in January, so we should see how all the legal proceedings will end, which we see inevitably will be.”
The media reported on Saturday the victory of Democratic candidate Biden in the US presidential elections. During the elections held on November 3, the candidate secured the support of at least 273 members of the Electoral College, and his opponent, D. Trump, at least 214 votes.
For the final victory, any candidate had to gather at least 270 votes from the electorate.
Trump has repeatedly claimed to have won after the election, in addition to making so far unsubstantiated statements about the massive falsification of ballots, and his campaign has filed legal suits in several states.
