NATO boss Rutte dismisses calls for European army
The Straits Times
|January 28, 2026
NATO chief Mark Rutte on Jan 26 dismissed calls by some leading European politicians for a separate European army, prompted by doubts over US President Donald Trump’s commitment to the continent’s security that were heightened by tensions over Greenland.
-
Mr Rutte told advocates of a European force separate from the US-led NATO alliance to “keep dreaming”, and said Russian President Vladimir Putin would “love” the idea as it would stretch Europe’s armies and make them weaker.
Speaking to the European Parliament in Brussels, Mr Rutte said European nations must continue to step up and take more responsibility for their own security, as Mr Trump has demanded but within the transatlantic alliance.
