Mitt Romney chastised President Obama's administration for allowing the daughter of Cuban head of state Raul Castro into the United States.

The op-ed was published as Mr. Obama and other world leaders are gathering in Chicago Sunday and Monday for a NATO summit meeting.
NATO has kept the peace in Europe for more than six decades. But today, the alliance is at a crossroads. It is time to speak candidly about the challenges facing the United States and our allies and how to rise to them.
