Rutte’s comments ⁠came after a meeting with ​US President Donald Trump at the ​White House earlier in the day.

During an interview with CNN, the NATO chief ​was asked if he believed ​NATO countries had been tested and failed.

“Some of them ‌, yes, ⁠but a large majority of European countries, and that’s what we discussed today, have done what ​they promised ​before ⁠in a case like this,” he told CNN.

Rutte said ​he had a “frank and open” discussion with ​Trump, ⁠where the Republican expressed disappointment with America’s allies.

He said he pointed ⁠out to ​Trump that European ​countries assisted with logistics and other commitments.
