00:00NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte is set to meet with U.S. President Donald Trump this week after the U.S. leader announced plans to sell weapons to NATO allies for eventual transfer to Ukraine.
00:14Rutte will be in Washington on Monday and Tuesday for talks with Trump, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and members of Congress.
00:24The visit comes as Trump accuses Russian President Vladimir Putin of talking nice and then bombing everybody as Russia continues to battle Ukraine with intense air attacks.
00:35We're not paying anything for it, but we will send it. It'll be business for us and we will send them patriots, which they desperately need, because Putin really surprised a lot of people.
00:46He talks nice and then he bombs everybody in the evening. So there's a little bit of a problem there and I don't like it.
00:54Rubio said U.S. weapons Ukraine wants are deployed with NATO allies in Europe.
01:01These can be quickly transferred to Ukraine and European countries can buy replacements from the U.S.
01:09Weapons which will be sent to Ukraine via NATO will include Patriot air defense systems, according to Trump.
