NATO to bolster Baltic military presence, after Christmas Day power cable cuts
NATO’s Secretary General Mark Rutte pledged to send drones, frigates and aircraft to the region as he highlighted a concerted campaign of 'cyber-attacks, assassination attempts and sabotage.'
NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte met with President Trump to discuss the upcoming NATO summit, highlighting European and Canadian defense spending as a key topic. Rutte praised Trump for pushing NATO allies to invest more in their own security, promising that NATO will grow stronger and fairer with trillions in defense funding. When asked about the Russia-Ukraine war, Rutte remained cautious, noting that the ball is in Russia's corner and Trump's peace deal is still in the works. NATO unity and defense priorities remain at the forefront.

In a bold rebuke of NATO dynamics, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has called out European allies for falling short on defense spending. Labeling them “junior partners,” Rubio pushed for a drastic hike—up to 5% of GDP—to maintain NATO’s credibility. At his first NATO foreign ministers meeting, he reassured US commitment but demanded others pull their weight. Echoing this, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth warned Europe that US protection is no longer guaranteed unless NATO nations step up. The upcoming June summit will directly address these simmering tensions.

Trump issued a stark warning to both Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelensky, declaring that he has his own deadline for ending the Russia-Ukraine war. Speaking after high-level NATO talks, Trump suggested that the window for peace is rapidly closing, saying, “We’re waiting a long time… After that, we’re gonna have a very much different attitude.” The chilling message hints at a potential shift in U.S. policy and global dynamics if peace negotiations don’t accelerate—raising the stakes dramatically as the war drags on.
