Trump and NATO chief meet in Florida to discuss global security issues
President-elect Donald Trump met with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte in Palm Beach, Florida, on Friday. They discussed various global security issues, marking Rutte's first meeting with Trump since his election on November 5. This meeting comes after years of Trump's skepticism about NATO, where he criticized member nations for low defense spending. He previously suggested that the U.S. might not defend allies who do not meet spending targets. Rutte, who became NATO's leader in October, also met with Trump's national security adviser pick, U.S. Rep. Michael Waltz, and other members of Trump's security team.
