Europe left red-faced as Trump mocks Iran and NATO while Rutte showers him with flattery at summit
At NATO’s 2025 summit in The Hague, U.S. President Donald Trump hijacked the global stage — demanding 5% defense spending, mocking Iran and Israel as “kids in a schoolyard,” and claiming NATO leaders secretly praise him.
But the real shock?
NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte calling Trump a “truly extraordinary peacemaker” — even repeating the bizarre line:
“Daddy, you’re my daddy.”
European diplomats were stunned, embarrassed, and silent — as Trump turned a strategic summit into a personal victory lap.
Critics say the event was scripted to feed Trump’s ego, not focus on Ukraine, Iran, or NATO’s long-term survival.
So… is NATO collapsing under political flattery?
Or is Trump just reshaping it on his own terms?

Courtroom illustrator Elizabeth Williams shared with The Hollywood Reporter the art of capturing key moments in high-profile cases. She discusses being the eyes and ears of one of the most talked about trials: Sean "Diddy" Combs and feeling "a big sense of responsibility" and wanting the public to see the room as she saw it unfold. Williams also talks about covering many high-profile trials over the past 30 years – such as the Martha Stewart trial, the Trump/Stormy Daniels case, the R. Kelly trial and more.

France has rejected NATO’s new U.S.-led initiative to fund American weapons for Ukraine, dealing a blow to Trump’s arms plan. President Macron insists Europe must reduce dependency and prioritize its own defense industry. French officials cite budget constraints and strategic autonomy as key reasons. The move deepens a rift within NATO, with the Czech Republic and Hungary also opting out. Germany, however, backs the plan, warning that only U.S. supplies can meet Ukraine’s urgent battlefield needs against Russia’s continued offensive.

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte has issued a stern warning to BRICS nations—India, China, and Brazil—over their continued trade ties with Russia. Following a meeting with Donald Trump, who gave Putin a 50-day peace deadline, Rutte threatened 100% tariffs and secondary sanctions if these nations fail to pressure Moscow. The move marks a shift toward coordinated global economic pressure to end the war. Trump echoed the warning, hinting at penalties for “anti-American policies” amid escalating geopolitical tensions.

Trump has backed off a proposed strike plan targeting Moscow, delivering a sharp blow to Ukraine’s hopes. Declining to send long-range missiles, Trump left Zelensky hanging, signaling a potential pivot in U.S. support as the war enters a critical phase. Trump’s decision is sparking concern in Kyiv and among NATO allies over America’s long-term commitment.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, attending the SCO summit in China, strongly criticized the United States and NATO for their growing involvement in the Indo-Pacific region. Lavrov argued that NATO allies seek to expand their influence into the Far East, undermining regional stability. In contrast, Russia, China, and like-minded nations advocate for an “open and free security architecture” for East Asia. His remarks highlight deepening Moscow-Beijing cooperation against Western strategic ambitions in the Asia-Pacific.

In a dramatic shift, U.S. President Donald Trump reportedly urged Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to consider striking Moscow—just days after a failed phone call with Vladimir Putin. Sources told the Financial Times and Washington Post that Trump asked, "Can you hit Moscow?" and expressed frustration over Putin's unwillingness to negotiate peace. This follows renewed U.S. weapons support for Ukraine under a proposed NATO deal.
Was this a pressure tactic or a dangerous escalation plan? Here's what we know about the explosive July 4th phone call and what it could mean for the future of the war in Ukraine.

In a bold press conference following his meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, President Trump announced a fresh wave of Patriot missile systems heading to Ukraine and issued a stern warning to Russia: negotiate peace or face new tariffs. He also made headlines by saying “Me and Melania talk about Putin,” calling the Russian leader “a tough guy.” With NATO coordination now taking center stage, is this a turning point in Trump’s Ukraine policy?

In a fiery Oval Office meeting with NATO’s Mark Rutte, President Trump expressed sharp disappointment with Vladimir Putin, despite calling past conversations “pleasant.” He claimed Putin fooled past presidents — “but not me.” Trump says he wants the Ukraine war to end and blasted Russia’s aggression. At the same time, he promised powerful U.S. weapons to NATO — for a price — and threatened 100% “secondary tariffs” if no deal is reached within 50 days. VP JD Vance and Secretary Marco Rubio joined the tense NATO talks.

The United States has abruptly paused deliveries of key military aid—air defence ammunition, missiles, and artillery shells—to Ukraine under Trump’s “America First” doctrine. Ukrainian MPs blasted this move, insisting “the United States is no longer our ally.” Mariana Bezuglaya and Solomiya Bobrovskaya accused the administration of sidelining Kyiv, even summoning the US chargé d’affaires to demand resumed support. President Trump told Zelensky at The Hague that US systems are “very hard to get” and prioritized for national and Israeli defense. Meanwhile, Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell confirmed a “capability review” to align aid with US interests. Kiev warns that this retrenchment could empower Russian advances toward Dnipro and Sumy, diminishing Ukraine’s defence. Moscow, unburdened, claims strategic initiative on the frontline. The aid suspension represents a major shift in US foreign policy and risks weakening Ukraine’s resistance as the war grinds on.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has issued a brutal call for justice, demanding Russian President Vladimir Putin be tried as a war criminal for the 2022 invasion of Ukraine. Speaking before the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, Zelensky signed a landmark accord to establish a special tribunal to prosecute top Russian officials for crimes of aggression. Zelensky didn’t hold back: “The Hague is waiting. Hunt every war criminal – start with Putin.” The move sends a powerful signal to Moscow – that international justice is coming, and accountability will not be avoided.
Will Europe and the international community back the tribunal? And how will Russia respond to this unprecedented legal offensive?
Watch the full report and analysis. Justice is no longer a question — it’s a promise.

Following a dramatic Israeli airstrike on Syria’s General Staff Headquarters in Damascus, U.S. Senator Marco Rubio called the escalation a “misunderstanding” and claimed de-escalation could be just hours away. The strike came amid sectarian clashes in the southern Syrian city of Sweida, where Israel says it’s intervening to protect the Druze community.
With the death toll rising and fears of a broader conflict growing, the U.S. confirmed it is in continuous talks with both Syrian and Israeli officials. Meanwhile, U.S. envoy Tom Barrack condemned violence against civilians and called for immediate dialogue and a lasting ceasefire. Is this the brink of regional war—or a chance for diplomacy to prevail?

Major chaos unfolds at the Israel–Syria border as hundreds of Israeli Druze cross into Syria, clashing with IDF soldiers. The Israeli military struggles to guard the border amid ongoing strikes on Damascus. Tensions escalate further after an Israeli minister calls for the assassination of Syrian President Al-Sharaa. Syria has condemned the attacks as “treacherous Israeli aggression,” claiming civilian casualties. Netanyahu urges the Druze community to stay in Israel, while the U.S. calls for de-escalation. The region faces its most volatile moment in years.
