U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson proposed new dates on Tuesday for a NATO meeting, the State Department said, after he initially decided to skip the talks and rebuffed the alliance’s efforts to reschedule them. “We are certainly appreciative of the effort to accommodate Secretary Tillerson,” Toner told reporters. NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg was in Washington on Tuesday. NATO has proposed holding that meeting on May 25, a NATO diplomat said. A State Department spokeswoman said on Monday night that all NATO members except Croatia would be at those talks.
