Trump & NATO Leader Rutte Meet At White House

22 hours ago
NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte is expected to meet with President Donald Trump at the White House to try to smooth over the president’s anger with the military alliance over the Iran war. Trump had suggested the U.S. may consider leaving the trans-Atlantic alliance after NATO member countries ignored his call to help reopen a vital shipping waterway that Iran effectively shut, sending gas prices soaring. The Republican president had a warm relationship with Rutte. Their meeting Wednesday comes as the U.S. and Iran have agreed to a two-week ceasefire that includes reopening the waterway, the Strait of Hormuz. Rutte met earlier Wednesday with Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
