News India Live, Digital Desk: The new head of NATO, Europe’s largest military organization, has said something which has created a stir in the entire world, especially in European countries. Netherlands Prime Minister Mark Rutte, who will soon become the next Secretary General of NATO, has openly admitted that if America leaves, Europe will not be able to defend itself on its own. This statement has come at a time when Europe is losing sleep due to the sound of the return of former US President Donald Trump. After all, why did he say such a shocking thing? Actually, this whole matter is to Donald Trump’s threat in which he had said that the NATO countries which do not spend enough on their defense If they do, America will not come to their help. NATO has a rule that all member countries must spend at least 2% of their gross income (GDP) on their military and defense. But many big countries like Germany and France have not been able to meet this target for years. Trump is angry about this. His logic is simple – when Europe is not serious about its own security, why should America bear the burden alone? “Stop whining about Trump and spend money!” Mark Rutte showed the European countries a mirror of the bitter reality, saying, “We should stop complaining about Donald Trump and start spending more on our own defense.” His message was clear: Complaining will do nothing: Rutte said that if Trump wins the election, we will have to work with him. There is no use in crying about them. Ukraine war is a lesson: He said that the Russia-Ukraine war has shown how seriously Europe needs to take its security. It is clear that the fear of Trump’s return is haunting Europe. Mark Root’s statement is not just a warning but a ‘wake-up call’. This is a signal to Europe that now they will have to take responsibility for their own security, because there is no guarantee that America will always be with them.
