Part 3/8:
Strengthening NATO and Defense Production
The former president and Rutte reflected on the advancements made in NATO's financial commitments over the past few years. They noted an impressive surge in defense expenditures among member states, which Rutte attributed, in part, to U.S. pressure during previous presidential terms. Both leaders acknowledged that while substantial progress has been made, there is still more work to be done to ensure that NATO remains a formidable alliance.
