AI Summary
The Trump administration is signaling a potential withdrawal from NATO following disagreements over the US and Israel's war on Iran. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stated that NATO "failed" the US by not contributing military forces beyond defensive measures. This comes after President Trump reportedly discussed withdrawing from the transatlantic alliance. Leavitt indicated Trump would have a "frank" discussion with NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte, who confirmed the meeting was "frank and open" and acknowledged Trump's disappointment, though he noted NATO allies offered support through logistics and base access. Despite Rutte's support for Trump, the possibility of reduced US support for NATO is being considered.
