"The United States is a reliable ally. We believe that to be the case, we see that every day. But we also know the world is changing, and we've got to step up and Europe's got to step up. President Trump—he may have his own style—he's not the first US president to say that. The thing we've really got to understand about this new world is that hard and soft power have to go together."
"I don't think we should think that we've only been taking action against shadow fleets starting yesterday. it was a very high profile operation."
A vessel sanctioned as Tia in August 2024 later renamed Tavian and now called Arcusat is transiting the English Channel under a false name and flying a Cameroonian flag, with indications it is heading to Russia. U.S. forces conducted a high-profile boarding of the Russian-flagged Marinera in the Atlantic the previous day. Official statements characterize the United States as a reliable ally, call for Europe to step up, and emphasize that hard and soft power must be combined with the capability to exercise both. Support for actions against shadow fleets is affirmed beyond the recent operation.
