Rutte takes over the alliance as the war in Ukraine drags on and European nations mull over their own security. Host Marco Werman speaks with Sean Monaghan, visiting fellow with the Europe, Russia and Eurasia Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), about what Mark Rutte brings to the job.
