President Barack Obama said that the US would use military force if necessary to defend its Arab allies, CNN reported Friday
A joint statement delivered at the end of the Camp David summit with the Gulf nations declared that the US will continue to "deter and confront external aggression against our allies and partners, as we did in the Gulf War."
It said the US would work with them to determine an appropriate response in the face of such aggression "including the potential use of military force."
The statements from Obama at the conclusion of the summit outlined US commitments to the GCC, including expediting arms transfers to the region, staging a new large-scale military exercise against terror and cyber attacks, and forming a new partnership to improve counterterrorism and missile defense cooperation.
"The United States will stand by our GCC partners against external attack and will deepen and extend the cooperation that we have when it comes to the many challenges that exist in the region," it said.
