US still 'completely committed' to NATO: Rutte

Washington remains completely committed to NATO, despite concerns about U.S. President Donald Trump's willingness to protect allies, the military alliance's secretary general said Wednesday at the opening of a key summit.

"There is complete commitment of the United States to NATO.. But hey, there's also an expectation.. that the Europeans and the Canadians will equalise their spending with the United States.. Which I think.. is completely fair," he told journalists.
