NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte on Saturday offered some blunt advice to European members of the military alliance in the face of a more confrontational U.S.: stop complaining and present solutions.
“Get into the debate, not by complaining …. but by coming up with concrete ideas,” he told the Munich Security Conference.
The NATO chief also confirmed that the alliance would reach a new agreement for defense spending targets when members meet in June for a summit in the Hague, Netherlands.
This is a developing story and will be updated shortly.
