During a NATO defense ministers meeting, U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth delivered a blunt assessment of the alliance, declaring that NATO had been a “paper tiger” and a “one-way street” for too long. Speaking alongside NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, Hegseth praised President Donald Trump’s long-standing demand that allies increase their contributions and shoulder more responsibility for collective defense. The remarks underscored Washington’s push for greater burden-sharing and set the tone for high-stakes discussions on the future of the alliance.
