Blinken: Our commitment to Article 5 is ironclad

Antony Blinken, the US secretary of state, held a joint news conference with Estonian prime minister Kaja Kallas on Tuesday (8 March).

Blinken assured Estonia that Nato and the Biden administration will help protect their security should Russia expand their military operation beyond Ukraine.
