NATO’s collective defense will not be affected by the trade conflict between the United States and Canada, says NATO chief Mark Rutte.

At the same time, Rutte makes it clear that European defense will not function without the United States.

US President Donald Trump has announced the introduction of punitive tariffs on goods from Canada, which were scheduled to take effect on Tuesday, but have been delayed.
