US Edition‘Dear Donald.’ Trump posts fawning private text from NATO chief on social media
- President Donald Trump shared a private congratulatory message from NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte praising his decisive action on Iran and defense spending commitments ahead of a NATO summit in the Netherlands.
- This message followed a recent U.S. airstrike in Iran targeting nuclear-related facilities, which Rutte credited as something no other American president had dared to do in decades.
- Rutte highlighted the agreement securing NATO members' commitments to increase defense spending from 2% to 5% of GDP, with 3.5% for conventional forces and 1.5% for infrastructure and cybersecurity.
- The message conveyed commendation, noting that the recipient was heading into a significant achievement in The Hague that evening and acknowledged the challenge of securing unanimous agreement on the 5% target.
- This development suggests closer NATO unity on defense funding and broader support for the U.S. position, potentially strengthening transatlantic security cooperation amid ongoing global challenges.
