EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said Saturday that the United States was still Europe's main ally as she sought to downplay a new US National Security Strategy critical of European institutions.

"Of course, there's a lot of criticism, but I think some of it is also true," Kallas told the Doha Forum, an annual diplomatic conference in Qatar's capital, in response to a question about the US strategy.

The "US is still our biggest ally... I think we haven't always seen eye to eye on different topics, but I think the overall principle is still there. We are the biggest allies, and we should stick together."
