NATO leaders concluded their summit in Ankara on July 8 with a common declaration that restated commitment to collective defense among the 32 member states. U.S. President Donald Trump participated in the two-day meeting.
He threatened additional military strikes against Iran and told reporters that the United States should control Greenland. Trump later described the summit as very successful and filled with tremendous love while praising the alliance's unity. Hours after stating that a ceasefire with Iran was over, he warned of more strikes but said any fighting would end quickly.
Trump permitted Ukraine to procure Patriot air missiles during the summit. The United States will help Ukraine produce the systems, according to statements following the meeting. The U.S. and Israel had attacked Iran before the summit began.
Trump had earlier said the U.S. decided with Israel to attack Iran and that no Article 5 obligation applied because the attack was not on the United States. Euronews reported the summit details and related statements from the week.
