As US President Donald J. Trump has announced some ‘major statement’ regarding the Russia-Ukraine war for today (14), news arise that NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte is set to meet him today or tomorrow.
This visit comes as Trump has announced plans to sell NATO allies US-made weapons and equipment that the alliance can then transfer to Ukraine.
Associated Press reported:
“NATO announced on Sunday that Rutte will be in Washington on Monday and Tuesday and would hold talks with Trump, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth as well as members of Congress. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment about the visit.”
Russia’s continued massive attacks against Ukrainian civilians are deplorable. Earlier today I urged leaders to go further so Ukraine has more ammunition & air defences.

NATO’s Rutte wants to get the Kiev Regime the weapons they need – to fight using the troops Ukraine doesn’t have anymore.
Rubio explained Friday (11) that some of the US-made weapons that Ukraine is requesting are in fact deployed with NATO allies in Europe.
These weapons will be transferred to Ukraine, with the European allies buying their replacements from the US.
“’It’s a lot faster to move something, for example, from Germany to Ukraine than it is to order it from a (U.S.) factory and get it there’, Rubio told reporters last week during visit to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.”

[…] Trump is also facing calls from Republicans and Democrats as well as European allies to support legislation in the Senate that aims to cripple Russia’s oil industry and hit Moscow with U.S. sanctions for its ongoing invasion of Ukraine.”
