Trump slams NATO over Iran
The diplomatic rift within the Atlantic alliance has widened as the Trump administration considers moving military assets to nations that backed the strikes on Tehran.
During his meeting with Rutte, Trump reportedly expressed deep disappointment that European partners declined to join the maritime protection mission in the Persian Gulf.
This tension has revived the President's previous threats regarding US withdrawal from the alliance and his interest in acquiring Greenland.
While Rutte praised the ceasefire deal, the White House remains focused on punishing allies that did not pledge their full military support.
