Following a tense start to the NATO summit in Ankara, where U.S. President Donald Trump had criticized European allies over their reluctance to support American airstrikes on Iran, the closed-door meeting reportedly saw a more diplomatic tone. Afterward, Trump and NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte both praised the alliance’s unity. In a subsequent bilateral meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Trump stated that the two leaders had **"developed a good relationship"** — a remark that contrasted with earlier friction. The summit also yielded a commitment of 70 billion euros in military aid for Ukraine and a U.S. license for Ukraine to produce Patriot missiles, while Trump expressed admiration for Ukraine’s military and potential. The next summit location remains undecided amid internal disputes over defense spending.
