At White House, NATO'S Rutte tries to ease tensions with Trump over Iran

NATO chief Mark Rutte met with President Trump at the White House to ease tensions over the Iran war and U.S. troop withdrawal threats. Rutte presented data on increased defense spending by allies, calling concerns about support "isolated cases." While Trump praised Rutte's efforts, he remained largely unconvinced about European allies' backing. The meeting aimed to manage Trump's skepticism towards NATO ahead of a key summit.
