Rutte and Trump are scheduled to discuss Trump’s proposal that NATO member states begin funding US-supplied weapons for Ukraine.
Under this plan, European allies would also be responsible for taking possession of the weapons and ensuring they are delivered to Ukrainian forces, NL Times reported.
Trump has announced he will make a “major announcement” about Russia on Monday. It is not yet clear if the statement will address the weapons.
In addition to meeting Trump, Rutte will hold talks with US Secretary of State Rubio and Defense Secretary Hegseth. He is also expected to meet members of Congress during his visit to Washington.
