Search efforts remain underway for four U.S. Army soldiers who went missing while training in Lithuania, leaving behind a sunken military vehicle, a NATO spokesperson clarified Wednesday, despite earlier claims that they were deceased.
NATO said the search is "ongoing" and that the fate of the missing "is still unknown," according to a statement posted on X.
"This is still early news so we do not know the details," NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte told reporters in Warsaw. "This is really terrible news and our thoughts are with the families and loved ones."
Asked Wednesday evening by reporters if he had been briefed about the missing soldiers, President Donald Trump said, "No, I haven't."
