“I think that’s really what our joint effort with the prisoner swap demonstrated to all of the world. And let’s continue to work in a true friendship and with a lot of trust,” Golob added.
In their meeting, the two leaders discussed a joint approach on the Western Balkans, an area of strategic interest for the United States and the Republic of Slovenia. Biden also called for increased defense investments to fund the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.

“Twenty years ago, when I was a U.S. senator, I pushed very hard for your country’s admission to NATO, as you know, because I knew then what I know now: We’re stronger and a safer world when we stand together with good partners like you,” Biden said.
“We’ve seen it in support for the brave people of Ukraine as they defend themselves against Russia’s aggression and we see it in our work to support democracy and prosperity across the western Balkans.”
