Nato chief tells BBC that Trump comments are like 'family argument'

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte defended the alliance's unity during a BBC interview at the Ankara summit, despite President Trump's critical comments about NATO's refusal to join his military operations against Iran. Rutte dismissed tensions as a normal "family argument" and expressed complete confidence that Trump remains committed to NATO, citing the alliance's strategic importance to the United States, including its role as a European power projection platform during Operation Epic Fury. The summit focused primarily on converting European defense spending promises into reality, with members committing an additional quarter trillion dollars over two years to counter Russian military threats.
