00:00Welcome to Nato.
00:07Jens, thank you, thank you very much.
00:18I'm not worried. I know both candidates very well.
00:21I worked for four years with Donald Trump.
00:24He was the one pushing us to spend more and he achieved.
00:28Because indeed, at the moment, we are now at a much higher spending level than we were when he took office early in 2017.
00:37And he was also pushing us on China. And I think he was right there.
00:41Of course, Kamala Harris has a fantastic record as Vice President.
00:45She is a highly respected leader.
00:47So I will be able to work with both, whatever is the outcome of the elections.
00:52And of course, I cannot vote, so we'll see what happens.
00:55Thank you.
