It wasn't easy, and it took longer than expected, but now it's official: outgoing Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte will become the next head of NATO. Rutte, a history graduate, became prime minister of the Netherlands for the first time since 2010 - but resigned last July after his four-party coalition fell apart over how to curb migration. The Dutch will take the helm of the 32-nation alliance from 1 October, after a decade at the helm of former Norwegian Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg. "I know I am leaving NATO in good hands," Stoltenberg posted on his X account (formerly Twitter) after the ...

Mark Rutte is lined up to become the next head of NATO after Budapest lifted its veto on the deal following a letter sent by Rutte to Hungarian PM Viktor Orbán. The letter appeased the Hungarian premier that, as head of NATO, Rutte would not deploy Budapest's military or spend Hungary's money on supporting Ukraine. After Orbán announced he had dropped his previous objections to the outgoing Dutch prime minister, incumbent NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg reported that the selection process would end "very soon". Orban posted a copy of the letter he was sent on X, writing, "After yesterd...

A record 23 of NATO's 32 member nations are hitting the Western military alliance’s defence spending target this year, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said on Monday. The estimated figure represents an almost fourfold increase from 2021 when only six nations were achieving the goal. This was before Russian President Vladimir Putin's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. “Europeans are doing more for their collective security than just a few years ago,” Stoltenberg said in a speech at the Wilson Center research group. After the speech, Stoltenberg met at the White House with President...

NATO defence ministers have ended talks in Brussels, during which they agreed on a plan to provide long-term security assistance and military training to Ukraine. It comes after Hungary promised not to veto the scheme as long as it's not forced to take part. Ukraine's Western allies are trying to bolster their military support as Russian troops launch attacks along the more than 1,000-kilometre front line, taking advantage of a lengthy delay in US military aid. European Union money was also held up by political infighting. NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg, who chaired the meeting, said ...

I also expect allies will agree (on a) long-term financial pledge to provide military support. This will provide the predic...

At a meeting between NATO leaders in Prague on Friday, Germany announced it would allow Ukraine to use German weapons to attack targets within Russia's borders. NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg also dismissed Russian threats of escalation on Friday in Prague after the US authorised Ukraine to strike Russia with American-made weapons. “There is nothing new. This is part of President Putin's efforts to prevent NATO allies from supporting Ukraine,” Stoltenberg said before the start of a NATO meeting in Prague. NATO foreign ministers are meeting in the Czech capital on Friday to prepare for...

NATO's foreign ministers met to discuss whether to allow Ukraine to use their weapons to launch strikes on Russian territory. The two-day gathering in Prague focused on the question of potentially lifting restrictions that have so far limited Ukraine's ability to inflict damage across the Russian border. So far the West has refrained from allowing its weapons to be used for that purpose for fear of escalating the conflict into a wider war with Russia, but the issue is increasingly divisive. Unlike Germany or the US, French president Emmanuel Macron has vocally supported lifting the restriction...
