NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte has visited US President-elect Donald Trump at his residence in Florida, reports the Dutch newspaper Telegraph, quoted by Reuters.
Rute traveled on the government plane of the Netherlands, noting that the NATO Secretary General does not have a personal plane and the alliance often hires ones from member countries, BTA reports.
Information about the visit was supported by data from online flight tracking applications, which showed that the Dutch government plane had landed in Florida.
"Neither the Dutch government nor NATO have so far commented on the information," reports the publication.
Rutte, who is a former prime minister of the Netherlands, is considered one of the most successful European politicians in dealing with Donald Trump during his first term as US president.
His visit to Florida is seen as a sign of maintaining strong transatlantic ties in the context of Trump's upcoming inauguration.
