With Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth fueling friction by criticizing allies and reviewing U.S. forces abroad, Rutte—known for his knack for handling Trump—is stepping in to reassure the president and preserve the transatlantic security pact. Despite Trump’s historic skepticism and recent provocations, including his controversial Greenland pitch, Rutte continues to publicly praise the president, crediting him for pushing allies to boost defense spending. As the alliance faces its most uncertain moment since Trump took office, Rutte’s mission is clear: keep America in NATO, even as the foundation of the alliance is being tested.
