USA stay loyal to NATO: Rutte gives security for Europe!

In a dramatic commitment to NATO, the new Secretary General Mark Rutte made it clear that the United States will continue to be firmly behind the defense alliance, regardless of the outcome of the presidential election. "Donald Trump stood and stands behind NATO. Kamala Harris stood and stands behind NATO," emphasized Rutte in the ZDF "Today Journal". This statement comes at a time when NATO is of crucial importance for the security of Europe and the USA.

Rutte, who took up his office as NATO boss on October 1, was a visit to Berlin on Monday. He made it clear that both Republicans and Democrats are aware of the fact that the security of the United States is closely linked to NATO. "A president has to make sure that his country is safe," Rutte explained. This shows that both presidential candidates recognize how important NATO is for its national security.

Trump and NATO: a sensitive relationship

Although Rutte spreads optimism, Donald Trump's past does not remain unaffected. His earlier statements had sparked doubts about the unreserved support of the United States for NATO, and there were even threats of a possible exit from the alliance. But Rutte, who is known as a former Dutch Prime Minister to deal with Trump, seems to have a good connection to him. During a meeting in 2019, Trump Rutte described as a friend, which nourishes the hopes of a stable relationship between the USA and NATO.
