President Donald Trump shared a screenshot of a message from Mark Rutte, Secretary General of NATO, praising him for his “decisive actions” in Iran following the US’s successful strikes on Iran’s nuclear ambitions.
In a post on Tuesday shared on his Truth Social, the message to the President from Rutte congratulated and thanked the President for the “truly extraordinary” actions, stating that it was something “no one else dared to do” following the U.S. airstrikes to take out several of the Islamic State’s key enrichment facilities.
“It makes us all safer,” Rutte wrote. “You are flying into another big success in The Hague this evening. It was not easy, but we’ve got them all signed onto 5 percent [GDP on Defense] Donald, you have driven us to a really, really important moment for America and Europe and the world.”
“You will achieve something NO American President in decades could get done,” he added. “Europe is going to pay in a BIG way, as they should, and it will be your win. Safe travels, and see you at HIS Majesty’s dinner-Mark Rutte.”
The post was sent as President Trump was flying to the Netherlands to attend the annual NATO summit.
Before Trump left the White House, the president spoke to members of the press and blasted both Israel and Iran for violating the ceasefire he had announced just hours earlier, RedState reported.

As Rusty Weiss reported:
Hours after the President announced a ceasefire between the warring nations, Israel accused Iran of violating it by launching missiles. They, in turn, planned retaliatory strikes on Tehran. Iran denied the missile launches, while Trump expressed frustration with both nations, particularly Israel, for undermining the fragile truce.
In a Truth Social media post early this morning, Trump demanded Israel turn their planes around and call off the counterattack.
“Do not drop those bombs,” he wrote in all caps. “If you do, it is a major violation.”
Speaking with reporters, Trump reiterated his displeasure with Israel attempting to retaliate, saying, “These guys gotta calm down. It’s ridiculous.”
“I didn’t like plenty of things that I saw yesterday,” added Trump. “I didn’t like the fact that Israel unloaded right after we made the deal … and I didn’t like the fact that the retaliation was very strong.”
“You basically have two countries that have been fighting for so long and so hard that they don’t know what the f*** they’re doing,” he seethed. “Do you understand that?”
On Monday, Trump announced a “total ceasefire” agreed on between Iran and Israel, following the successful completion of the US strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump wrote, “Congratulations to everyone,” saying that a ceasefire had been “fully agreed by and between Israel and Iran that there will be a Complete and Total CEASEFIRE.”

The president noted that “(approximately 6 hours from now, when Israel and Iran have wound down and completed their in-progress, final missions!), for 12 hours, at which point the War will be considered ENDED!”
“Officially, Iran will start the CEASEFIRE and, upon the 12th Hour, Israel will start the CEASEFIRE and, upon the 24th Hour, an Official END to THE 12 DAY WAR will be saluted by the World,” he wrote.
“During each CEASEFIRE, the other side will remain PEACEFUL and RESPECTFUL,” the statement added. “On the assumption that everything works as it should, which it will, I would like to congratulate both Countries, Israel and Iran, on having the Stamina, Courage, and Intelligence to end, what should be called, ‘THE 12 DAY WAR.'”
“This is a War that could have gone on for years, and destroyed the entire Middle East, but it didn’t, and never will!” the statement continued. “God bless Israel, God bless Iran, God bless the Middle East, God bless the United States of America, and GOD BLESS THE WORLD!”
