Brussels, June 5 (LaPresse) – "No, I am not 'disappointed' because it’s not a matter of the number of visits or meetings. It’s a matter of commitment, and the commitment of the United States, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and President Trump to NATO, regarding our common commitments, is steadfast." This was stated by NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte upon arriving at the meeting of the Alliance's Defense Ministers, responding to a question about the shorter presence of U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth in Brussels.
"Today is the last major meeting we will have before the The Hague summit, and it is really crucial because we will decide on capability goals, and this is a fundamental element in deciding the funds we will spend in the coming years for defense."
