The British publication The Times writes that the new Secretary General of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization is not worried about Trump's return to the presidency chair, NBN reports.
The media writes that Rutte praised the former American leader for pushing allies to spend more money on defense. In addition, the head of NATO admitted that he would be able to work with any of the US presidential candidates if they win the election.
Journalists recalled that in 2018, Rutte was nicknamed “Trump's whisperer.” At that time, he held the post of head of the Dutch government and was able to convince the odious Republican to abandon the idea of the United States leaving NATO, which threatened to take such a step if the EU countries did not increase defense spending.
The new Secretary General of the Alliance said that he had worked with Harris's opponent for four years and it was the former US president who then pushed the organization's states to invest more money in the defense sector.
As reported by the publication Рolitexpert, the Republican candidate is stepping up his election campaign. Trump intends to visit the areas of Georgia that were hit hardest by Hurricane Helena.
Recall that recently, in an interview with an American media outlet, the 45th President of the United States commented on a meeting with Volodymyr Zelensky and again complained about Europe.
