US President Joe Biden vowed to defend "every inch" of North Atlantic Treat Organisation, or NATO, territory but reaffirmed that no American troops would be deployed to Washington's ally.
"As I made crystal clear, the United States will defend every inch of NATO territory with a full force of American power," President Biden said in an address to the nation from the White House. The President added, however: "Our forces will not be engaged in a conflict with Russia in Ukraine."
NATO will hold a virtual summit today on Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The alliance announced after an emergency meeting that "additional steps" were being taken to protect member countries.
