Watch live: NATO’s Mark Rutte gives remarks after meeting with Trump

NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte will give remarks Thursday morning on threats to the military alliance, a day after he met with President Trump at the White House and as the Middle East conflict is under a shaky ceasefire.

Trump, who alongside Secretary of State Marco Rubio has floated pulling the U.S. out of NATO, blasted the transatlantic alliance following the meeting as being unreliable and not there “when we need them.”

Though Rutte has largely backed the U.S.-Israeli operation in Iran, many allies have spurned the president’s calls to contribute to the military effort and to help police the Strait of Hormuz.

The event, hosted by the Reagan Institute’s Center for Peace Through Strength, is scheduled to begin at 11 a.m. EDT.
