SPECULATION that US President Donald Trump may collapse the Nato war alliance continues following a White House meeting between him and its secretary-general Mark Rutte on Wednesday.

Details of their talks have not been shared, but Mr Rutte conceded that the US president was “clearly disappointed with many Nato allies,” adding “I can see his point.”

Mr Trump also made this clear, posting one of his characteristic all-capitalised messages on social media: “NATO WASN’T THERE WHEN WE NEEDED THEM, AND THEY WON’T BE THERE IF WE NEED THEM AGAIN.”
