NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte met with US President Donald Trump at the NATO summit in The Hague. During a conversation over Iran and Israel, Trump likened the nations to squabbling children, prompting Rutte to quip: "Daddy has to sometimes use strong language" — a reference to Trump's expletive-laced outburst as he set off for the NATO summit, visibly angry at the prospect of the Iran-Israel ceasefire breaking down.
