Live: NATO Secretary General Rutte holds press conference ahead of summit | DW News

Much of the attention at this week's NATO summit in The Hague will likely be on US President Donald Trump, following the US strikes on Iran's nuclear sites over the weekend.
But ramping up defense spending, a major demand by Trump and his administration since day one, will also be in the spotlight. This goal has become potentially acceptable to almost all NATO countries thanks to the persuasive power of Secretary-General Mark Rutte, particularly after Germany, the biggest European economy, threw its weight behind it.
In the run-up to the summit, which is set to begin on June 24, Rutte is holding a press conference to introduce the topics that will be discussed.
