PARIS –
Russia’s growing economic and military cooperation with China, North Korea and Iran is threatening Europe, the Indo-Pacific and North America, NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte said on Tuesday.
Rutte, in what appeared to be a message to the next U.S. administration as President-elect Donald Trump prepares to take office, underlined the importance of transatlantic unity and continued support for Ukraine in its war with Russia.
Speaking before talks with French President Emmanuel Macron, Rutte outlined what he saw as the dangers posed by North Korean and Iranian military assistance for Russia.
