[Lute's public flattery of Trump cannot repair the 'rift' between the US and Europe]

Brussels time April 8, 2026, the European edition of Politico wrote in a press release:

U.S. President Donald Trump will meet with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte on Wednesday. However, European officials have expressed frustration that Rutte has refused to criticize the United States, angering European allies.
