Some European allies tested, failed in war against Iran

TEHRAN, Apr. 09 (MNA) – NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said on Wednesday he believes that some NATO countries were tested and failed amid Washington’s criticism over European allies not getting involved in the US and Israel’s war against Iran.

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

During an interview with CNN, the NATO chief ⁠was asked if ‌he believed ‌NATO countries were 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 to Trump that European countries assisted with logistics and other commitments.
