NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said Thursday that European allies are now providing extensive support to the United States in its conflict with Iran, after an initially “slow” response.
“I sensed his disappointment about the fact that he felt that too many allies were not with him,” Rutte said during a speech at The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute, a day after he met with Trump and senior administration officials in Washington.
Rutte said he had an “open and candid” conversation with the president, who has been vocal about his frustrations with NATO.
