Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy made headlines this week with his comments about President Donald Trump’s relationship with world leaders. McCarthy appeared on Fox News on Wednesday to discuss Trump’s recent NATO summit interactions. The former Speaker praised Trump’s standing among international leaders following a notable exchange at the summit.
NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte had referred to Trump as “Daddy” during a press conference at the NATO summit in The Hague, Netherlands. This comment came after Trump compared the Israel-Iran conflict to “two kids in a schoolyard” having a fight. Rutte responded by saying that “Daddy has to sometimes use strong language” to get them to stop fighting.
