Donald Trump and his NATO allies confirmed their "ironclad commitment" to collective defence in a communique released at the end of a brief summit in The Hague. Sky News
After nearly two weeks of deadly missile exchanges and rising fears of regional war, Iran and Israel have agreed to a fragile ceasefire. But as the skies over Tehran and Tel Aviv fall silent, former U.S. President Donald Trump jumps into the spotlight — first claiming credit for the truce, then accusing both sides of violating it. Meanwhile, Gaza continues to bleed under blockade and bombardment, receiving little global attention. In Tel Aviv, beachgoers cautiously return, hoping the calm will last. What happens next? Can this truce hold — or is another storm coming?

In a stunning Oval Office remark, U.S. President Donald Trump compared the Russia-Ukraine war to “two kids fighting,” saying it might be better to let them brawl before stepping in. The Kremlin responded sharply, calling the war an "existential issue" tied to Russia’s national security and future. As German Chancellor Merz urged U.S. intervention, Trump signaled a more hands-off approach. The latest Trump-Putin exchange reveals deep global divisions and raises questions about America’s role in ending the war. Here's what both sides are really saying.

In a dramatic analogy, U.S. President Donald Trump compared the Russia-Ukraine war to a children's brawl, saying it's better to “let them fight for a while” before peace is enforced. During his Oval Office meeting with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, Trump claimed acting like a referee, not a peacemaker. He also hinted at possible punitive actions against both nations if the war doesn't end, stating “it takes two to tango.” Merz, invoking D-Day history, urged Trump to use America’s power to stop Putin and bring peace to Europe.

President Donald Trump becomes the first U.S. leader in history to be hosted overnight at the Dutch royal residence, Huis ten Bosch Palace, ahead of the 2025 NATO Summit in The Hague. Trump met King Willem-Alexander, Queen Máxima, and Princess Amalia before attending a high-level dinner with NATO leaders. The visit is being called a “historic gesture of friendship and trust” by the White House. With rising global tensions and NATO unity under pressure, this royal reception marks a significant diplomatic moment just before critical talks on Russia, Ukraine, and collective defense.
