I notice that Mark Rutte's English has improved greatly. He must have taken lessons. The accent is still there, but his choice of words is so much better. Well done, Mark.
I doubt that his English has improved within weeks, but now he’s no longer the Dutch prime minister he is probably speaking English every waking moment and his ability to find the words that he knows becomes easier. I’m actually a native English speaker but have lived in the Netherlands 47 years. When I’m amongst English speakers I now have trouble finding the words and even pronouncing them. After a week amongst English people it gets better, I suppose practice makes perfect.
@@irenehabes-quene2839 I've been in the Netherlands now for 59 years. Also a native English speaker, born in Australia, and came here as a child. My experience is, however, that my vocabulary has expanded over the years. The only thing is that I've lost my Aussie accent for a large part and it has become more Anglicized/Americanized because of the TV. Luckily nowadays, I can listen to Aussie radio through the internet and things are starting to come back even though it has changed somewhat over the years because of immigration.
We are throwing all our full support for NATO leader Mark Rutte. It's about time NATO need to adopt the hawkish approach, uphold the UN rule of law for regional security, stability & economic growth.
Good morning nice to hear Europeans with NATO and partners are aware and in partnership to solve not only European but Global challenges that affecting less privileged European Countries that not aware about all the Global issues. Everyone needs to get in the track now. There is no excuses. Update keep in touch with allies and partners in a civilised environment and relationships.
I actually do not think he said something new, how could he at this stage? But he seems form and clear, and I Wellcome his readiness to inform about NATO talks/work, and I see it as a good prognose for information from NATO in the future. He speaks at behalf of all memers ofcourse, so saying that Ukraine will become member one day,sooner or later ,is that in accordance with ex. Orban? Just asking as I was happy, he stated that, but at the same time SURPRISED.
Yeah,I don’t think that’s the top requirement for the job somehow. Having spent time in The Netherlands I can attest that their English is superb. They start speaking in Dutch, mid sentence realise you don’t understand and seamlessly switch to perfect English. The world is sooo accommodating of us single language people don’t you find?
Both Stoltenberg and Rutte, speaks English with the accent og their mother tongue. Then it's just a question what accent that you understand the best. Do not see it as a huge problem. It's the qualities In the work for NATO that matters.
Most often, journalists' questions are about Ukraine. Only together, only united can we be strong and do an extraordinary thing in the XXI century. NATO needs to show its indomitability and resilience. There are no options here 💪
As the People's Republic of China continues to aid Russia in its aggression against Ukraine, it is imperative that the entire Western world-comprising over one billion inhabitants-boycotts Chinese goods and companies investing in China. The Chinese Communist Party is highly sensitive to business matters, and trade with the West accounts for more than 62% of their gross domestic product.
Have you ever tried to boycott China? I have. Check EVERY product you want to purchase. It's virtually impossible. Are you willing to pay more for some products and give up others? The west has entangled itself to a ridiculous level. 😢
@twinproject322 The CCP has long been hostile to the Western world and our business leaders in the West have mostly been ignorant of or indifferent to the security risk of funding the Chinese. The less trade with China the better.
This guy is the right guy for the job,need more people in charge like him .
Mark Rutte will do an excellent job... no bullshit, always to the point!
Rutte will make NATO the strongest defense organization ever! Proud of you, Secretary General. We miss you a lot in the Netherlands.
This man has a backbone.😊
Stoltenberge is the Dovish type while Rutte uses the Hawkish approach. Much respect to this man Mark Rutte.
Mark Rutte has just started a new job, but already feels like he's been in this job for a very long time.👏
As a New Zealander, I'm proud that our country stands with NATO.

So IF NK troops are on ukrainian soil, would this mean NATO can have their troops on their soil too?
I sure hope so.
We should not wait for our actions based on what Putin does first. This logic only means we do what Putin allows us to do.
As someone who likes to read and watch WW2 history, hearing "Eastern Front" in a modern context is surreal. Peace will come eventually, though.
Mark Rutte is very good.
DW struggling to keep that mic steady... 😳😅
His English is much better than Jens Stoltenberg!😊

Who other than Ukraine would become no. 33? There is no one else. One of the small Balkan countries?
I was also a bit surprised. Is he thinking about Moldova?
@@karengiersing8547 Perhaps, Moldovan people are about to vote about if they want to join

Well done Nato!

Our NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte stands strong in his position, a lott of succes and kind regards.
...pas seulement donner de l'argent mais de donner les armes que l'ukraine demande et de libérer une des mains de l'ukraine lier derrrière le dos.

Oh, how I completely agree with you about China. But is it not more of a EU question?

@@karengiersing8547 Pressure on politics, but also I take care do not buy a single piece of goods made in china.

@@jorr1334 It certainly is difficult to find alternatives, and it can be difficult to explain to others why they might want to consider doing so.
