How Nato chief Mark Rutte has emerged as the ‘Trump whisperer'

Nato Secretary-General Mark Rutte played a key role in persuading US President Trump to drop threats of punitive tariffs over US control of Greenland, easing tensions between the US and Europe. Rutte's diplomatic skills and charm have earned him the nickname "Trump whisperer" for his ability to engage Trump constructively within Nato. Rutte's reputation as a consensus-builder and survivor of political scandals helped him secure the Nato chief position and navigate complex geopolitical challenges.
