NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte declined to say if he agreed with President Donald Trump that Iran should have ballistic missiles.
Trump said last week that he supports Iran having access to “some” conventional ballistic missiles, which, he said, “aren’t the problem,” even though he has previously called to eliminate the threat of Iran’s ballistic missile program.
Asked about the matter by CNN’s Kaitlan Collins outside the White House on Wednesday, Rutte said he couldn’t “comment on everything,” and instead wanted to focus on Iran’s nuclear capability.
“What is important here is for NATO – that we always had a consistent position as an alliance with the United States, all the 32 nations – that Iran should never get its hands on the nuclear capability,” he said.
