The post comes after Mark Rutte, the Secretary General of the North Atlantic Alliance, called “Dad” on Trump during a common occurrence. The context was a discussion in which the US president ironically commented the conflict between Iran and Israel, comparing him with a quarrel between children. “They had a great quarrel, like two children in the school yard. You know, they like to fight for a lot, like crazy, and you can't stop them. Let them beat for about 2-3 minutes, then it is easy to stop them ”Trump said in front of journalists, Reuters reports.
Rutte intervened with a amused remark: “And then the daddy has to raise the tone sometimes to stop them. “
Rutte explains what he wanted to say
Later, in an interview with Reuters, Mark Rutte explained that the use of the word “daddy“It was not a direct labeling of Trump, but a metaphor about how some European allies perceive the United States.
“In Europe, I sometimes hear countries that say,” Hey, will Mark stay with us? “And I said it sounds a little like a little child who asks his father,” Hey, do you stay with the family? ““Rutte said.”So, in this sense, I used “Dad”, (is not) as I called President Trump Daddy”.
Asked if this comparison involves the fact that the other NATO members are like children who are barely maturing, Rutte clarified: “They have already matured, but have realized that they must intensify their efforts and have to equalize the defense expenses with those of the United States ”.
The ironic video distributed by the White House has attracted numerous reactions in the online environment, being interpreted both as a joke and as a recognition of the dominant influence that the US exercises in the Alliance.
