Rutte thanks U.S. for ‘stronger, fairer’ NATO
NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte praised U.S. leadership under President Donald Trump.
Rutte described the meeting as an important step following the NATO Summit in The Hague, highlighting increases in allied defence spending and industrial output.
“There is now much more cash on the table. There is firepower coming out of our defence industry, which is so important, and we are doing everything collectively to keep Ukraine strong,”
he said. The Secretary General credited U.S. leadership for driving a shift toward what he called a “fairer” alliance, referencing the historic burden-sharing reforms agreed at The Hague.
“Since President Eisenhower, there was this constant irritant that yes, NATO was there, the U.S. was committed, but also had a clear expectation that EU Allies and Canada would step up,”
Rutte said.
