NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte has warned European leaders that US President Donald Trump is disappointed with their reluctance to assist with the war in Iran. Trump has accused some NATO countries of not doing enough to support the US-Israel war on Iran.
Speaking at a meeting of European leaders in Armenia, Rutte stated that Europe has gotten the message regarding the US president's disappointment.
These developments follow an announcement from the US that it would withdraw 5,000 troops from Germany. Rutte noted that Europeans are stepping up, leading to a bigger role for Europe and a stronger NATO.
