In October this year, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg will almost accurately be replaced by a new leader - the Prime Minister of the Netherlands, Mark Rutte. We only need to support Romania.
Newsweek, referring to several experts, writes that Rutte has one undervalued feature - a good relationship with Donald Trump.
At the last security conference in Munich, Rutte said leaders should stop "moaning and threading about Trump" and urged to increase defense costs regardless of who won the US elections.
The Netherlands Prime Minister also played a key role in rescuing NATO leaders summit in 2018, where Trump has publicly criticized Germany for friendship with Russia.
Rutte's ability to navigately in the White House by Trump 2.0 will be existential for NATO and Ukraine, summarizes the publication.
