NATO chief Rutte: Invest in defense now or start learning Russian later

The US administration has appointed Lieutenant General Alexus G. Grynkewich as the next top US general in Europe, as well as SACEUR.

Trump's appointment will be particularly welcome after media reports in recent months that the US was considering giving up the role of SACUER, which has always been appointed by a US president in NATO.

"It is a very important decision and there is a relief from NATO's point of view, as it is a positive sign of American commitment and personnel," said a US-based source.

Meanwhile, NATO defense ministers agreed to a significant increase in defense capability targets for each country, as well as to move to spending 5% of GDP on defense.

Mark Rutte, NATO chief, reiterated NATO's recent warnings that Russia could strike NATO territory within the next two years.

"If we don't act now, the next three years, we're fine, but we have to start now, because otherwise, in three, four or five years from now, we are really under threat. I mean it. Then you should either finish the Russian language course or go to New Zealand," Rutte said. /CNA
