Maybe you haven’t read it all yet, like the part where it says the agreement is for NATO-member nations’ armed forces are allowed to use the land and buildings as they see fit. Nowhere does it state that politicians or just regular Americans can visit at will.
Well the news today are that the visit will now only be in the USA military bases and that they will not attend a planned visit to some dog race that they had originally planned.
