Only Stoltenberg’s opening statement, neither Scholz’s brief comments nor answers by both to reporters’ questions, is currently posted in transcript form on the NATO website. But all can be heard in the video below. The new NATO satrap confirms there will be no change in NATO nuclear sharing in his nation; the NATO chieftain reiterates that NATO is a nuclear alliance.

[Stoltenberg] You are part of our mission in the Baltic region, with German jets regularly patrolling the skies as part of NATO’s Baltic air policing.

German ships contribute to NATO deployments in the Mediterranean.

German troops help to…in our mission in Kosovo.

And the NATO multinational battlegroup you lead in Lithuania helps to deter any aggression.

So today we discussed Russia’s substantial military build-up in and around Ukraine.

This raises tensions, and undermines security in Europe.

In our meeting today we also discussed the importance of strengthening our transatlantic bond in an age of global competition.

Where countries like Russia and China are undermining the rules-based international order.

Threatening their neighbours.

And expanding their nuclear capabilities.
