YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

President Donald Trump will discuss whether the US should leave NATO when he meets Secretary General Mark Rutte later Wednesday, a fresh sign of the administration’s anger over the alliance’s handling of the Iran conflict. #trump #iran #worldnews #politics #nato #usa #israel

Asked at a briefing if Trump might leave NATO, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said, “it’s something the president has discussed, and I think it’s something the president will be discussing in a couple of hours” when he meets Rutte.

The organization’s chief is in the US to try to temper Trump’s anger that NATO allies refused to help him protect commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz or let the US use many of their bases to attack Iran. Trump has also revived his grievance that NATO countries wouldn’t give him Greenland, a Danish territory.
