NATO VOWS TO STAY UNITED REGARDLESS OF WHO WINS US ELECTION

NATO will stay united no matter who wins the US election, the alliance’s secretary general Mark Rutte said in Berlin as Washington’s allies nervously await the outcome of the vote.

Whoever wins those elections, we will work with Kamala Harris, we will work with Donald Trump, and make sure that the alliance stays united,” Rutte said alongside German Chancellor Olaf Scholz.

Rutte said he had “no doubt” that whoever wins the election would continue to support NATO because it is “in the interest of the United States”.

Western allies fear turbulent times ahead for the defence alliance formed at the start of the Cold War if Trump wins Tuesday’s knife-edge election.

The alliance took a hit under Trump’s 2017-2021 presidency as he berated allies for what he said was insufficient spending.
