In a statement, NATO said NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte will be in Washington on Monday and Tuesday and meet with President Trump and key administration officials.

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte is meeting President Trump to discuss the situation in Ukraine and potential NATO weapon supplies. The visit coincides with legislative moves in the US Senate aiming to impose economic sanctions on Russia.

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte is set to meet President Donald Trump this week on the heels of the U.S. leader announcing plans to sell NATO allies weaponry that it can then pass on to Ukraine.

A change to a nuclear-related license fueled the claim that the Trump administration lifted U.S. sanctions on Russia.

US senators on Sunday touted a bipartisan bill that would arm President Donald Trump with “sledgehammer” sanctions to use against Russia, ahead of a visit by the US special envoy to Ukraine. Trump has indicated he would be open to the sanctions bill as relations with Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin grow increasingly frosty.
