๏ธ๐บ๐ธ๐ฎ๐ธ US Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, on Iceland's role in NATO and collective security:
"One of the unique aspects of this country is that it does not have a traditional military. However, you are a member of NATO, you contribute to collective security, and you continue to play this critical role within our alliance.
"What it means, and continues to mean, is welcoming NATO allies to come here and operate jointly within the territory of Iceland. We want to continue building on this, not as a way to encourage conflict or provoke it, but as a way to prevent it."
