NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte arrived at the White House where he was welcomed by U.S. President Donald Trump.
His visit to Washington followed his recent trip to Pristina, and during his meeting with the U.S. President, he called for a discussion on strengthening defense.
“We are not doing enough, neither in the U.S. nor in Europe, and we are falling behind when compared to the Russians and the Chinese. You have a large defense industrial base. Europeans buy four times more here than the other way around, which is good because you have a strong defense industry, but we need to do more there to ensure that we increase production and eliminate bureaucracy,” Rutte said.
