NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte stated disputes among leaders showed alliance strength. He believes these disagreements offer a lesson for Russian President Vladimir Putin. Rutte sees no need to alter his approach to dealing with President Trump. He emphasised that democracies can openly disagree and then reunite. This ability to converge around common purpose distinguishes democracies from other nations.
