BRUSSELSVice President Mike Pence said Monday that the U.S. commitment to the European Union was steadfast and enduring, seeking to reassure European leaders anxious about Washingtons direction under the new administration.
Mr. Pence pledged stepped-up cooperation on terrorism and economic issues with Europe. He said the U.S. would continue to hold Russia accountable for its actions in Ukraine.
EU officials welcomed Mr. Pences backing for the EU, which was far more positive than they expected in light of Mr. Trumps comments. But questions linger in Europe about whether Mr. Pence truly speaks for the administration.
On Monday, as he did in Munich, Mr. Pence emphasized that he spoke for the Trump administration.
President Trump and I look forward to working together with you and the European Union to deepen our political and economic partnership, he told European Council President Donald Tusk.
