NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte has caused friction among European officials after declaring unbridled support for Donald Trump’s war in Iran.
Rutte, who famously referred to the 79-year-old U.S. president as “daddy” during a NATO summit last year, suggested that U.S. allies will eventually assist in reopening the vital Strait of Hormuz shipping route, which Trump has fiercely demanded.
“What I know is that we always come together,” the NATO chief told CBS News’ Face the Nation on Sunday. “He’s doing this to make the whole world safe,” Rutte added. “It’s only logical that European countries take a couple of weeks to come together.”
