NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte says US President Donald Trump deserves credit for pushing the 32-nation members to spend more of their gross domestic product on defence. Rutte's praise of Trump's commitment to NATO came in a recent interview with The New York Times where he also highlighted the dangers of the current political climate and how World War III might be sparked. The former Dutch Prime Minister suggested that Chinese leader Xi Jinping could attempt to seize Taiwan while simultaneously urging Vladimir Putin to launch Russian attacks on NATO territory. "Let's not be naïve about this," Rutte said. "If Xi Jinping would attack Taiwan, he would first make sure that he makes a call to his very junior partner in all of this, Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, residing in Moscow, and telling him, 'Hey, I'm going to do this, and I need you to keep them busy in Europe by attacking NATO territory.' That is most likely the way this will progress," he said. SG Rutte has clearly gorged on too many of the magic mushrooms beloved by the Dutch. He sees collusion between China & Russia over Taiwan, and then a Russian attack on Europe. But he's right about one thing: he should learn Russian. It might come in handy in a Siberian camp — Dmitry Medvedev (@MedvedevRussiaE) July 5, 2025 Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has rejected Rutte's comments in a post on X. Speaker of Parliament Seah Kian Peng has advised MPs to focus on asking questions that improve the lives of Singaporeans – and not to get caught up in a numbers game. Seah, in an interview with the Straits Times, had noted the trend of more parliamentary questions being filed in the previous term which set new records on the number of sittings, ministerial statements delivered and other kinds of speeches. "I hope we don't get to a point where MPs are filing questions for the sake of clocking numbers – I think that is not necessary and not very productive," Seah was quoted as saying. "Each hour spent in Parliament, if everyone turns up, is 100 man-hours... which is why we do want to make sure time is spent productively for everyone," he added. Prime Minister Lawrence Wong intends to propose Seah's election as Speaker when Parliament reopens on 5 September.
