NATO will “turbo-charge” defense spending and production with Donald Trump back in office, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said Monday, APA reports quoting CNN.

Rutte delivered the remarks amid uncertainty over Trump’s commitment to the defense alliance.

Trump previously said he would encourage Russia to do “whatever the hell they want” to any NATO member country that doesn’t meet spending guidelines and would not offer such a country US protection.

Rutte did not address Trump’s comments. Instead, he offered an optimistic view of the future, saying, “Together we can achieve peace through strength — through NATO!”
