00:00President Trump has long pushed for NATO countries to spend more on defence.
00:05We heard about this in his first term.
00:07Is Mark Rutte the person to convince Trump to stay in NATO during this crucial meeting today?
00:14Well, Mark Rutte has a relationship with Trump that dates back to Trump's first term
00:20because Rutte was the Prime Minister of the Netherlands at the time
00:24and they got to know each other.
00:25So I think they trust one another or at least have a relationship.
00:30So I think Mark Rutte is the right person to talk about it.
00:35But Mark Rutte has good news to provide to Trump,
00:40talking about how different NATO is today than where it was when Trump was president the first time
00:46and talking about what the Allies are now spending on defence today
00:50and where that trajectory is going.
00:52So there's some good news there for Trump.
00:54.
