NATO chief Mark Rutte has finally addressed the viral moment when he referred to US President Donald Trump as “daddy,” insisting it was a translation slip that has taken on a life of its own.

Speaking at the Ronald Reagan Institute, Rutte said the remark stemmed from a “language problem,” explaining that in Dutch, “your father” can translate to “daddy.”

The comment traces back to a joint appearance last year, when Trump compared Israel and Iran to “two kids in a schoolyard,” prompting Rutte to quip: “Daddy has to use tough language.” The remark quickly went viral. | #FirstpostNews
