President-elect Trump met NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte this week in Florida – as Europe awaits how the incoming administration approaches the war in Ukraine.
Rutte and Trump’s Friday Palm Beach sit-down included discussions on a wide “range of global security issues facing” NATO, said Farah Dakhlallah, a spokesperson for the transatlantic military alliance on Saturday.
No other specifics on the session were provided.
While on the campaign trail in February, Trump declared that if he was re-elected president he’d “encourage” Russia to “do whatever the hell they want” to any NATO member that does not pay enough for defense.
Allies, however, remain cautiously optimistic that Trump will continue supporting Ukraine and NATO.
