Kenneth Merten commended Bulgaria’s commitment as a member of NATO, and stated that it is hosting a multinational NATO battlegroup that includes US troops.
“If confirmed, I am committed to supporting Bulgaria’s efforts to strengthen energy security, including with the help of US companies’ technology and know-how,” Kenneth Merten said and added he would make efforts to help Bulgaria overcome its energy dependence on Russia.
