Support to Belgium “We will do whatever is necessary to support our friend and ally Belgium in bringing to justice those who are responsible,” President Barack Obama said this morning at the start of his speech from Havana. “And this is yet another reminder that the world must unite. We must be together, regardless of nationality or race or faith in fighting against the scourge of terrorism. We can and we will defeat those who threaten the safety and security of people all around the world.” During testimony to the House Armed Services Committee today, Defense Secretary Ash Carter said U.S. officials are accounting for all personnel assigned in Europe. He added that the United States will provide whatever assistance Belgium needs.
