After months of preparation, the NATO summit took place this week. The eyes were mainly focused on US President Donald Trump. Would he behave? A lot of flattery from NATO boss Mark Rutte was needed, but despite extreme statements and chaotic press conferences, the goal was achieved. Rutte and Trump have the 5 percent standard and the alliance seems to be intact for the time being.
