Europe cannot protect itself without the USA : NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte

(‘NATO’ stands for the ‘North Atlantic Treaty Organization’, a military organization consisting of 29 countries. It also includes the United States, as well as the major economic powers of Western Europe)

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte

Washington DC (USA) – Europe cannot defend itself without the USA. If they really want to do it alone, they will have to increase their defense spending by 10%. They will have to build nuclear capabilities, which will cost billions of rupees, said NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte. Currently, the total contribution of European countries to NATO spending is only 30%, which is an average of 2% of their GDP (gross domestic product), Rutte added.

Rutte supported Trump’s strategy to protect the Arctic region and Greenland. He said that Trump is doing a very good job. I know that this has angered a lot of people.

Editorial Perspective

It should be noted that the Secretary General is making such statements out of fear that the importance of NATO will be lost due to USA’s tyranny.
