NATO’s top leader Mark Rutte is giving big credit to President Trump for making our allies pay their fair share. He says Trump’s strong leadership pushed other countries to boost defense spending, making NATO stronger against threats like Russia. This is a huge win for American power and shows how Trump’s tough talks get results.
Rutte knows Trump was right to demand that NATO members step up. Many nations weren’t paying enough for years, leaving America to carry the burden. Thanks to Trump’s pressure, allies are finally opening their wallets to protect freedom. This makes our whole alliance safer without costing U.S. taxpayers extra.
The upcoming NATO summit in The Hague will celebrate this spending surge. Rutte, who became NATO chief last October, is working closely with Trump to keep this momentum going. He’s a practical leader who sees that Trump’s approach gets things done where others failed.
American strength is the backbone of NATO, and Trump knows it. His “America First” policy forces freeloading nations to take responsibility. This isn’t bullying—it’s smart leadership that puts our security first while making allies pull their weight.
On Ukraine, Rutte agrees with Trump that Putin must be stopped cold. NATO’s support for Kyiv is stronger because allies are now investing properly in defense. A well-funded alliance can help Ukraine win and ensure Russia never threatens Europe again.
Rutte also warned about dangers from Iran and other rogue states. With NATO members investing more, we can confront these threats head-on. Trump’s push for higher spending lets us face down evil regimes without hesitation.
This proves Trump’s strategy works: Strong American leadership forces allies to act. Weak leaders let other countries take advantage of us, but Trump’s toughness rebuilt NATO the right way. Our power keeps the world safe.
Thanks to Trump, NATO is now tougher and ready for whatever comes next.
