NATO Chief Mark Rutte Warns Trump of 'Dire Threat' in Ukraine Peace Deal
Dec 2, 2024, 06:10 PM
NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte has warned U.S. President-elect Donald Trump of significant risks to the United States if Ukraine is pushed into a peace deal that favors Russia. Rutte emphasized that such an agreement could empower adversarial nations, including China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, and their leaders, such as Kim Jong Un and Xi Jinping, posing a 'dire threat' to U.S. security. He stated, 'We cannot have a situation where we have Kim Jong Un and the Russian leader and Xi Jinping and Iran high-fiving.' Rutte argued that deepening ties among these nations could further endanger America and urged Trump to maintain U.S. support for NATO and Ukraine. His comments highlight concerns about the geopolitical implications of a poorly negotiated resolution to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
