Trump criticizes European NATO countries, praises Turkey's Erdogan in meeting with NATO Sec.-Gen.
US President Donald Trump said that he was disappointed in the level of NATO participation in the Iran war during a meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, who defended European countries' contributions on Wednesday.
“Generally speaking, your European allies have been there with you,” Rutte said.
Rutte stated that while he understood Trump’s disappointment with NATO, countries had still made significant contributions to the US war effort, including Romania, which had closed its airport to all commercial traffic when the US needed to send a tanker aircraft into the air, one of 4,000 to 5,000 planes that took off from European air bases during the war.
