NATO chief Rutte meets Trump in Florida to discuss global security
NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg met with U.S. President-elect Donald Trump in Florida to discuss global security. This meeting follows concerns among NATO members about Trump's previous comments questioning the alliance's value and defense commitments. Rutte, who took office as NATO chief in October, also met with Congressman Mike Waltz, Trump's choice for national security adviser. Waltz emphasized the need for all NATO members to contribute fairly based on their economic strength. Rutte is scheduled to visit Turkey for talks with President Erdogan regarding the ongoing war in Ukraine. This comes after a recent escalation in the conflict, marked by Russia's missile strike on Dnipro.
