NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte has met with President-elect Donald Trump in Palm Beach, Florida, NATO spokesperson Farah Dakhlallah announced Saturday.
Palm Beach, Florida is the location of Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate.
The two leaders "discussed the range of global security issues facing the alliance," Dakhlallah said, without revealing further details.
Trump is expected to push NATO members to pay more in defense expenditures in his second term, pushing for allies to spend 3% of their GDP on defense. In the past, Trump has also claimed that he "would encourage" Russia to "do whatever the hell they want" to countries which he deems are not paying their bills.
