NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte will head to Washington next week as allies seek to smooth over transatlantic tensions ahead of NATO's annual summit in July, Euronews has learned.
European-led efforts to restore freedom of navigation through the Strait of Hormuz following the US-Iran agreement to end hostilities are expected to feature prominently in the discussions.
"The restoration of free passage through the Strait of Hormuz would be a massive step forward," Rutte told reporters at NATO headquarters in Brussels on Wednesday.
