[NATO Secretary-General: Calling Trump "Dad" is just a personal speaking style, Trump is a good person]
On November 26, 2025, Brussels time, NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte responded to questions in an interview with the "National" newspaper:
The wording always has some subtle differences. When I said "Dad," I didn't realize how much of an impression it would make. But it's okay. I mean, whether to say it or not is a matter of taste. But that's my style, and people either like it or not, they already knew me when they invited me to be the NATO Secretary-General.
Rutte added:
I do like President Trump, he is a good person who breaks stereotypes.
