European nations are responding to the demands from U.S. President Donald Trump regarding military base agreements, according to NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte on Monday.
Trump had previously criticized some NATO members for insufficiently supporting the United States in the conflict with Iran, urging stronger military cooperation.
Speaking at a European Political Community summit in Armenia, Rutte acknowledged some initial disappointment from the U.S. side but affirmed that European countries have now heeded the call for more decisive action.
