He said, “We’re going to make sure that NATO is ready to meet threats from all directions across every domain, land, air and the sea,’’ Biden said.

He also announced the establishment of a permanent headquarters for the U.S. Fifth Army corps in Poland.
The announcement had also come in tandem with a United States decision to up the number of U.S. destroyers based in Rota, Spain from four to six.
Joe Biden had earlier warned that China was ‘flirting with danger’ while vowing that the United States would defend Taiwan militarily if Beijing invades it as being speculated.
Africa Daily News, New York reports that this is the second time in eight months he has made that vow.
‘That’s the commitment we made,’ he said when asked if Washington would intervene militarily against an attempt to forcibly take control of self-ruled Taiwan, which Beijing considers a renegade province to be unified with the mainland.
‘We agreed with the One China policy, we signed on to it… but the idea that (Taiwan) can be taken by force is just not appropriate.
‘It will dislocate the entire region and be another action similar to what happened in Ukraine.’
