NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte is set to meet with President Donald Trump on Wednesday, as the US considers pulling out of the military alliance.
The meeting comes as the US and Iran agreed to a two-week ceasefire, which includes the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.
Trump had suggested the US may consider leaving NATO after the alliance ignored his call to help reopen the strait, a vital shipping waterway.
The Republican president's meeting with Rutte, with whom he had a warm relationship, is expected to focus on the plan to reopen the strait.
A law passed in 2023 prevents any US president from pulling out of NATO without its approval, but it's unclear if the Trump administration would challenge the law.
