NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte will visit the United States of America.
This was reported by Reuters.
Rutte will arrive in Washington next week. It is noted that this comes after threats by US President Donald Trump to review NATO membership.
“I can confirm that the Secretary General will visit Washington next week for a long-planned visit,” said alliance spokeswoman Allison Hart.
The White House confirmed the same information. Other details of the planned meeting were not publicly released.
Earlier, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that after the end of the war in Iran, the US would review its membership in the North Atlantic Alliance .
Recall that Trump may begin the official process of the United States’ withdrawal from NATO . This decision is seen not only as a threat to the solidarity of the allies, but also as an element of an internal electoral strategy to strengthen ratings.
As is known, Trump stated that the United States no longer needs the help of allies for the operation to restore shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.
