President Trump with NATO Secretary‑General Mark Rutte
NATO Secretary‑General Mark Rutte publicly referred to President Donald Trump as “Daddy” during remarks praising his strong‑arm tactics to secure a ceasefire between Israel and Iran.
During a joint press event at the NATO summit in The Hague on Wednesday, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte praised President Trump’s outspoken approach to the Israel–Iran crisis.
After Trump, in his signature blunt style, admonished both Iran and Israel—saying “They don’t know what the fuck they’re doing” and mantled himself as Rutte labeled the President as “daddy.”
“Then daddy has to sometimes use strong language.”

Rutte joined Trump in applauding the ceasefire Trump had brokered between Israel and Iran, describing him as “a man of strength” and even suggesting the defense-spending agreement among NATO nations “wouldn’t have happened” without his leadership.

Before the meeting, Trump publicly shared a private message he had received from NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte.
The text reads:
Mr President, dear Donald,
Congratulations and thank you for your decisive action in Iran, that was truly extraordinary, and something no one else dared to do. It makes us all safer.
You are flying into another big success in The Hague this evening.
It was not easy but we’ve got them all signed onto 5 percent!
Donald, you have driven us to a really, really important moment for America and Europe, and the world. You will achieve something NO American president in decades could get done.
Europe is going to pay in a BIG way, as they should, and it will be your win.
Safe travels and see you at His Majesty’s dinner!
