U.S. Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin has paid tribute to U.S. President Joe Biden as an “extraordinary guardian’’ of the country’s security.
“This person was there at the NATO Summit in Vilnius; not part of the secretary’s delegation that was also there during that time,’’ said the Pentagon spokeswoman.
“The conflict has spread beyond Gaza, including into the Red Sea.”
“What you see in terms of the high-intensity ground operations plus air strikes today is not going to go on forever,” said the U.S. defence secretary.
