President Obama will meet with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg at the White House after wrapping up a nuclear summit in Washington.

Stoltenberg's visit comes on the heels of Tuesday's deadly terrorist attacks in Brussels, the capital of Belgium, the European Union and home of NATO headquarters. It also comes in the wake of GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump's criticism of the defense alliance originally created to counter the Soviet Union.

During the April 4 meeting, Obama will "reiterate that the United States stands together with NATO in the wake of the horrific terrorist attacks," the White House stated.
