BRISBANE, Australia—Lithuania’s ambassador to Australia, Darius Degutis, has said Western allies should not be concerned if the U.S. presidency were to change in November, noting the United States is the “only state we can trust.”

Speaking at an event organised by the Australian Institute of International Affairs-Queensland in Brisbane on April 16, Ambassador Degutis was making his country’s case for more support to push back Russian forces from Ukraine, and deter President Vladimir Putin from reaching further into the Baltic states.
