What Trump and Rutte discussed
The first meeting of the new NATO Secretary General and the newly elected US President took place on November 23.
During it, Rutte told his visage about threats related to Russia's supply of missile technology to North Korea and cash to Iran.
Iran receives money from Russia in exchange for, for example, missiles, as well as drone technology. And this money is used to support Hezbollah and Hamas, as well as to manage the conflict outside the region.

According to Marc Rutte, the President of the People's Republic of China Xi Jinping "may think about something else in the future if there is no good agreement (for Ukraine)."
In this way, the NATO Secretary General made it clear to Donald Trump that China is ready to invade Taiwan, but this will happen only if Ukraine falls.
Rutte called for increased support for Ukraine
We cannot allow a situation where the North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un and the Russian leader, Xi Jinping and Iran are happy about the fact that they have reached an agreement that does not suit Ukraine, because in the long term this will pose a serious security threat not only to Europe, but also for the USA, said NATO Secretary General.
According to Mark Rutte, it is extremely important to strengthen Ukraine and its army as much as possible on the eve of potential peace talks with the aggressor country Russia.
The most important thing now is to make sure that when (Vladimir) Zelenskyi decides to start peace talks, he will be able to do it from a position of strength.
