Foreign Minister Tsahkna: Rubio's clear foreign policy positions are the basis for successful cooperation

"I am looking forward to close cooperation with my new US counterpart Marco Rubio. I met Mr Rubio when I was serving as Defence Minister and I am convinced we will have a good relationship bilaterally and as NATO Allies. Mr Rubio is an experienced politician who has clearly expressed his foreign policy positions.

Europe and the USA are aligned with largely the same values, views, and strategic goals. History has shown repeatedly that we are most successful when facing shared challenges together. Estonia is ready to work comprehensively towards meeting the current challenges of Europe and the USA together.

Right now, the most serious shared concern is the increasingly strategic cooperation between Russia, China, North Korea, and Iran. Without their support, Russia would not be able to wage war in Europe, and expand its spheres of influence at the expense of the United States elsewhere and grow its war machine.

I believe the existing strong alliance between the United States and Estonia is the basis for very close and successful cooperation with the new US administration."
