BRUSSELS (AP) — European NATO allies and Canada on Friday said they are willing to ramp up defense spending but are cool on American demands for the size of their military budgets, particularly given U.S. President Donald Trump’s readiness to draw closer to Russian leader Vladimir Putin.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio arrived at NATO to reassure the alliance about Trump’s intentions but warn that it can’t rely so heavily on the United States anymore.

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte told CBS News' Margaret Brennan that "Russia really has to do more to bring this war to an end."

BRUSSELS -- U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and the Trump administration’s new envoy to NATO arrived Thursday in Brussels, where the alliance’s top diplomats are hoping they’ll shed light on U.S. security plans in Europe.

Europe must agree a “road map” with the US to shift the burden of defending the continent away from Washington, Finland’s defence minister has said, and at the same time avoid a disjointed switch that Russia could exploit.

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said the US has no plans to withdraw troops from Europe, though militaries in the region should “step up” as Washington focuses more on Asia.

The following is the full transcript of an interview with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, which will air on "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan" on April 6, 2025.
