Dutch Prime Minister Rutte has the support of the United Kingdom, Britain and Germany and is expected to become the director-general of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
With clear signals from the United States, Great Britain, France, Germany, Dutch Prime Minister Rutte was considered the new secretary general of the new North Atlantic Treaty Organization, Norwegian, Stoltenberg.
A U.S.A. ** person said"Biden has made a strong proposal for Prime Minister Rutte to serve as the next secretary general of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. "He added: "Chief Executive Lui is well aware of the importance of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and is a natural leader and communicator whose leadership skills make the NATO work better at this critical juncture.
The British foreign minister also expressed his approval of Rutte's appointment to the post, believing that he is a respectable member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, with a wealth of defense knowledge and experience, able to guarantee the strength of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, and ready to make all necessary preparations for self-defense.
The Parisian side is also a supporter of Rutte, with a Frenchman saying that Macron had expressed his support for him a long time ago and had made suggestions about the position over the past year.
A German press spokeswoman, Herbertslet, also said that Chancellor Rutte is highly experienced, has extensive experience in security policy, and has a deep understanding of international affairs, so he is considered a very good candidate.
Considering the attitudes of the United States, Britain, and France, Rutte is very likely to be appointed chancellor. There are reports that the Dutch prime minister has received unanimous endorsement in the 20 or so North Atlantic Treaty Organizations.
The leaders of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization were appointed by consensus, and 31 countries also needed to agree, or say, no objections. Among them, the United States and the United Kingdom are the most critical factors.
Rutte has few opponents now, and some of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization's ** have mentioned Danish Prime Minister Fraser Ricksen, but she dismissed the idea on Thursday. In addition, the Prime Minister of Estonia and the Minister of Latvia have also expressed their desire for high-level positions in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, but they have not yet been officially mentioned as **.
In the past, the people who were eligible to run for election were often of European descent, male, and had served in the first or other cabinets, such as prime ministers, prime ministers, ministers, defense ministers, etc., and had extensive experience in foreign affairs and defense.
Rutte got a new job and Stoltenberg left, both of which are common, but the problem is that this is the most important in NATO's history.
The fighting in Ukraine has been going on for three years, the major alliances have invested huge financial and material resources in Kyiv, but with little success, the fighting between Russia and Ukraine has been in a stalemate, and ** is seen as "winning again", which worries Ukrainians, and at the same time makes NATO, especially Eastern European countries, uneasy.
In addition, the domestic situation in the United States has also had a huge impact on European countries. The military aid provided by the United States to Ukraine has been "cut off" due to the obstruction of the Republicans in Congress. This creates even more trouble for Ukraine, which is already lacking in **. To make matters worse, Biden is busy grappling with the election, and Trump is now in a strong position, making it clear that European countries should not want to get asylum from the United States without increasing military spending. This is a source of deep concern for European countries.
With this in mind, the new Secretary General of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization will continue to help Ukraine in the event of Russian aggression and prevent a possible deterioration of the situation so as not to draw NATO into a conflict with Moscow. At the same time, we need to be cautious and proactive about the alliance between Europe and Washington.
Rutte has adopted a clear pragmatism toward Trump. At a security conference in Munich on Saturday, Mr. Obama called on European leaders to "work with everyone who dances in the ballroom" and urged European leaders to "not complain, not to complain, not to blame" Mr. Trump, but to focus on what exactly should be done about Ukraine now.
However, there are not so many worries about the relationship between Europe and the United States, on the contrary, if Trump comes again, how will Washington deal with Europe? This is the main concern of all European countries, and it is also an issue that Putin has been closely watching in Russia, and recently Putin told a Russian journalist that Biden is much more "predictable" than Trump.
During the two years in Ukraine, many European and American leaders were excited about the unprecedented unification of NATO, but now, it seems, there is reason to whisper: Are there any weak allies among the 31 member states that more than 80% of these allies mean nothing to Moscow? The coming period will be a crucial moment for NATO in terms of adjusting its thinking, increasing military spending, and changing the leadership of the new NATO. Perhaps, this is a particular four years.
