Donald Trump attended a NATO summit in The Hague, Netherlands, where he received a warm welcome from King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima. Trump's arrival marked a pivotal point as he boasted about compelling European allies to boost defense spending from 2% to 5% of GDP, a goal pursued by U.S. presidents for decades. The NATO Secretary-General praised Trump’s unyielding approach as a game changer. Additionally, experts are reconsidering the impact of Trump's trade war and noting positive economic projections, signaling his heightened global prominence as he negotiated a cease-fire in the Iran-Israel conflict as well.
He was there to attend the summit of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and to celebrate having forced European allies to hike their defense spending in the next decade.
Without President Trump, this would not have happened, said NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte, sitting opposite the obviously pleased American leader.
Experts are projecting less of a hit to the U.S. economy than originally expected from Trump’s chaotic global trade war, which was initially derided.
Trump had bombed his way to a tenuous cease-fire between Iran and Israel, halting 12 days of war and dealing a setback to Tehran's nuclear ambitions.
