NATO says death 'greatly exaggerated'; to adopt new strategies on space, China

BRUSSELS - NATO foreign ministers are set on Wednesday to make space a domain of warfare and agree to closely monitor China’s growing military might in decisions that many allies say shows the alliance is not dying, as France has suggested.

“Reports of NATO’s death are greatly exaggerated,” Lithuanian Foreign Minister Linas Linkevicius told Reuters, referring to French President Emmanuel Macron’s Nov. 7 comments about “the brain death of NATO”. NATO will not deploy weapons to space. It will begin work on protecting satellites crucial for modern communications.

“When there is a military build-up, you have to see what you need to defend against,” U.S. Ambassador to NATO Kay Bailey Hutchison told reporters. “We are not provocative in any way.”
