#NATO Secretary General #MarkRutte will meet with Trump Wednesday at a time of high tensions. Trump has been especially unpredictable of late & has lambasted NATO for not supporting his #war in #Iran. The #US plans to pull ⅓ of the fighter jets it provides to NATO in an emergency. And last week, Secy of Defense Pete #Hegseth announced a 6-month review of US troop deployments in #Europe.
