Trump Slams NATO After 'Very Frank' Meeting With Alliance Chief

President Trump publicly criticized NATO after what alliance chief Mark Rutte described as a 'very frank' meeting, intensifying fears of a potential U.S. withdrawal from the transatlantic defense pact. Trump's attacks come as European allies are already scrambling to increase defense spending in response to the Iran conflict and ongoing Russian threats. The diplomatic confrontation marks the most strained NATO moment since Trump first questioned the alliance's value during his first term.
