During a visit to Washington on Wednesday, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte met US President Donald Trump, offering warm words while gently pushing back on his latest criticism of the alliance.
Trump reiterated grievances with NATO over its failure to back the US-Israeli war against Iran, saying he had been "let down".
The United States and Israel jointly attacked Iran on 28 February. Trump did not consult NATO ahead of time, and key European allies have voiced scepticism over the need for the war.
