Trump Thanks NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte After Posting Message Referencing Syria, Gaza, Ukraine, and Greenland
President Donald J. Trump shared a post on Truth Social thanking NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte after posting a message that referenced Syria, Gaza, Ukraine, and Greenland.
The post was shared publicly by Trump and has quickly drawn attention due to its diplomatic implications.
What Trump Posted
In the post, Trump thanked Mark Rutte and displayed a screenshot of a message that reads in part:
“Mr. President, dear Donald — what you accomplished in Syria today is incredible. I will use my media engagements in Davos to highlight your work there, in Gaza, and in Ukraine. I am committed to finding a way forward on Greenland. Can’t wait to see you. Yours, Mark.”
The message appears in a chat-style format and is presented as direct correspondence.
What Is Confirmed So Far
- Trump did publicly post this screenshot on Truth Social.
- The message is presented by Trump as being from NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte.
- As of now, no official confirmation has been issued by NATO or by Mark Rutte verifying the authenticity of the message.
- No official denial has been issued either.
At this time, the message remains unverified by independent or official sources.
Why This Is Significant
If authentic, the message would suggest:
- Direct private communication between Trump and the NATO Secretary General
- Praise related to Syria and references to Gaza and Ukraine
- Discussion of Greenland, a topic that has appeared in previous geopolitical debates
Because it involves NATO leadership and multiple international conflict zones, the post has drawn immediate public and media attention.
What Has Not Been Confirmed
- Whether the message was authored by Mark Rutte
- When or how the message was sent
- Whether the message was altered, edited, or taken out of context
- Whether NATO leadership endorses the statements shown
Until official confirmation is provided, the message should be viewed as unverified correspondence.
What Happens Next
In situations like this, clarification typically comes from:
- Official statements from NATO
- Comments from Mark Rutte or NATO spokespeople
- Follow-up reporting by major news outlets
Any confirmation or denial would likely emerge through official diplomatic or media channels.
Final Update
Trump’s Truth Social post has added to a growing series of shared messages that he says were sent by world leaders. While the post is real and publicly visible, the authenticity of the message itself has not yet been independently confirmed.
This remains a developing story.
