SCOOP - Washington is ramping up pressure on European Nato allies to harden their stance on China and support US efforts in the Indo-Pacific, as a quid pro quo for America's support for Ukraine and Europe this year

The coordinated lobbying push ramped up in the past few weeks, as the Biden administration seeks to leverage its support for Ukraine to strengthen its primary foreign policy goal - the containment of China - despite Russia's ongoing war in Europe

That concerted lobbying effort comes ahead of today's summit of Nato foreign ministers in Bucharest, where China is a key topic. But some European capitals are resisting a tougher approach to Beijing & others are anxious about any distraction from lending support to Kyiv

But the US says Nato agreed this summer to label China a "challenge", and its European partners should back that up with action

“Allies [will] look to implement what they signed up to,” said @USAmbNATO, “to move from what we call assessing the problem to addressing the problem.”
