Trump criticises Nato as alliance chief Mark Rutte describes meeting as 'very frank'

Donald Trump has again attacked Nato for not supporting the US in the Iran war, following a private meeting with its Secretary General Mark Rutte at the White House.

In a post shared to Truth Social after the meeting, the US President said: "NATO WASN'T THERE WHEN WE NEEDED THEM, AND THEY WON'T BE THERE IF WE NEED THEM AGAIN."

Meanwhile, Rutte has described his meeting to CNN with Trump as "very frank" and "very open", despite clear disagreements.
