Nato chief says Trump’s F-bomb just ‘daddy’ using strong words

NATO Donald Trump Mark Rutte

Nato Secretary General Mark Rutte referred to President Donald Trump as 'daddy' during a press conference, praising his intervention in the Iran-Israel conflict.
Rutte's comment followed Trump's analogy of the Iran-Israel conflict as “two kids in a schoolyard” which the Nato chief said Trump had to use “strong language” to resolve.
Trump responded to the “daddy” remark by chuckling and later stated that Rutte used the term affectionately.
Rutte has praised Trump, thanking him for his contributions and for pressuring Nato countries to increase their defense spending.
Rutte defended his flattery, stating it was a “question of taste” and that Trump “deserves all the praise” for his efforts.
