NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte just completely obliterated the Democrat narrative that President Trump "cozied up" to Putin in expert fashion. It turns out, Trump knows exactly what he's doing.

"What he did this year, breaking the deadlock, starting the conversation with Putin, but also putting pressure."

"We have had the NATO summit to 5% [defense spending], which was a big foreign policy success of President Trump."

"And then he decided to again to have lethal weapons go into Ukraine paid for by the Europeans, and he puts secondary sanctions, tariffs on India."

"So he's putting pressure, but he is also looking for ways to solve this, to bring this war to an end. Today was very successful."

"He was able, in a conversation with President Putin, to have Putin to agree to first a meeting between Putin and Zelensky. So they will now discuss where that meeting will take place in the run-up to the trilateral. All in all, a very successful day."
