Despite the ceasefire, tensions remain high as Iran is accused of breaking the agreement by Israel. Carter praised Trump’s leadership in achieving peace and preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, citing his courage and clarity in the crisis. Trump has been previously nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, with 338 candidates nominated for the 2025 prize so far.

📰 Trump heads to NATO summit as Europe agrees to heed his defense spending demands
President Donald Trump is attending the NATO summit in the Netherlands to push European leaders to increase defense spending, marking his first summit since his second term began. NATO members, except Spain, have agreed to boost their defense spending to five percent of their GDP, a demand initially made by Trump. The summit aims to enhance NATO’s credibility and ensure allies contribute their fair share to transatlantic security. Despite Spain’s request for an exemption from the spending target, other nations are expected to finalize the agreement at the summit. Trump’s brief time at the summit will include meetings with world leaders, discussions on shared concerns, and reaffirming strong ties with allies and partners.
At the summit, Trump is expected to meet with NATO leaders, including Dutch Prime Minister Rutte, and Ukrainian President Zelenskyy, who is advocating for Ukraine’s admission into the alliance. NATO Secretary General Rutte emphasized allies’ commitment to equal sharing of security responsibilities. Trump has expressed skepticism about the U.S. needing to meet the 5% spending target, stating that he believes other nations should do so. The summit discussions will focus on issues such as spending, Ukraine’s potential NATO membership, and the ongoing Iran crisis. Rutte highlighted NATO’s stance against Iran possessing nuclear weapons and defended U.S. strikes on Iranian sites, emphasizing the alliance’s unity in preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear capabilities. The summit aims to demonstrate NATO’s solidarity in the face of challenges like the conflict between the U.S., Israel, and Iran, which adds unpredictability to the conference.
