NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte congratulated Donald Trump on his victory in the US presidential election and expressed hope, together with the new head of the White House, to "promote peace through strength."
"His leadership will once again be the key to maintaining the strength of our alliance. I look forward to working with him again to promote peace through strength through NATO," Rutte wrote on the social network X.
EADaily reminds that earlier Rutte, who headed the North Atlantic Alliance on October 1, stated that he would not allow Russian President Vladimir Putin to win the conflict with Ukraine. "We will continue to do everything necessary to make sure that he will not achieve his goals, and Ukraine will win," he argued. According to him, the countries of the alliance will not pay attention to the "saber rattling" from Russia.
Republican candidate Donald Trump declared his "political victory", declaring himself the 47th president of the United States. His first political statement following the presidential election was a promise to stop all wars in the world.
"For four years we have not known any wars, except for the defeat that we inflicted on ISIS **. We defeated ISIS in record time, but we didn't wage any wars. I'm not going to start wars, I intend to stop them," Trump said.
