BRUSSELS/AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - - NATO's next boss, Mark Rutte, will need all the coalition-building skills he honed as Dutch prime minister to hold the Western alliance together amid war in Ukraine, fears over Moscow's next move and political uncertainty in Washington.
Rutte takes over on Tuesday as secretary-general of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization from Norway's Jens Stoltenberg - the first time in a decade that NATO's top job will change hands.
