Release Time:  For Immediate Release Oval Office 2:33 P.M. EST PRESIDENT OBAMA:  Hello, everybody.  It is wonderful to welcome Prime Minister Rutte and his delegation to the White House.  Part of the reason we wanted to make this meeting happen is because we have no stronger ally than the Netherlands.  They consistently punch above their weight on a whole range of issues related to global security.  Prime Minister Rutte has been a strong supporter of NATO, as was his predecessor, and we've been able to work together on a whole host of issues.  They've made an enormous contribution to Afghanistan; they made a very important contribution to Libya; on anti-piracy.  On a whole host of issues, the Netherlands consistently is supportive of efforts for our joint security, and we're very grateful for that.
