NATO Chief Rutte Grilled Over 'Lack of Self-Respect' After Trump Meeting | Vantage on Firstpost | 4K

Has NATO's diplomacy become an exercise in flattering Donald Trump? At the alliance's summit in Ankara, Secretary General Mark Rutte faced uncomfortable questions after repeatedly praising the U.S. president, crediting him with transforming NATO's defence spending and even coining the phrase "Trump Trillion." Critics called it embarrassing. Supporters called it pragmatic. But is this diplomacy—or survival? As Trump revives threats against allies and questions NATO's future, Europe appears to be walking a diplomatic tightrope: feeding Trump's ego while trying to preserve the alliance. We examine why NATO's leaders keep praising Trump, and whether flattery has become their most valuable strategic asset. Hem Kaur Saroya tells you more on Vantage on Firstpost.
