MOSCOW (Sputnik) — NATO can do more to support the European Union in its naval operations to address the migrant crisis, US President Barack Obama said Friday.
“We are stepping up to cooperate on global challenges … We believe NATO can do more to support EU naval operations to prevent the exploitation of migrants,” Obama said, speaking at a press conference in Warsaw.
He added that he expects the European Union to play a major role at the UN Refugee Summit in the fall, which aims to secure new contributions to address the refugee crisis.
