Lloyd Austin and Jens Stoltenberg

The US reaffirmed its commitment to defend "every inch" of NATO territory ahead of talks between defense ministers that will include closed-door discussions by the Nuclear Planning Group, according to skynews.

US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin reiterated America's commitment to NATO's collective defense after Russian President Vladimir Putin's continued threats to use nuclear weapons.

"We are committed to defending every inch of NATO territory," Austin said.

He spoke shortly before attending a meeting of NATO's Nuclear Planning Group, which is NATO's top nuclear body and deals with policy issues related to its nuclear forces.
