The split dynamic — where NATO leaders tailored their gathering to appeal to Trump, even as he questions the core provision of membership — made for a charged atmosphere as the conference was getting underway at The Hague.

NATO was/is there to keep Russia out of Western Europe but I guess that's not important for this administration for some odd reasoning.
Trump at The Hague… big opportunity missed
Trump is a cancer and the world needs to treat him as such.
They know he is stupid and easily manipulated with flattery.
this means full support to ukraine to fight back against russia's invasion? bring ukraine into NATO now?
Yes NATO leaders are laughing at him but still bowing down to him. It’s the Minch Conference of 1938 all over again. Where’s Churchill when you him?
World leaders gotta stop eating his ass and start running the world. Turmp will come begging to do something once media starts reporting on the real world leaders doing stuff without him.
Imagine having to host a global defense summit while tiptoeing around one guest who's not sure if he even wants to be in the club. That’s international relations in 2025 for you
He’s explaining to the world’s foremost military experts how military equipment armaments and submarines work. Such a moron.
CNN, just go lay down.
Not FOR him but BECAUSE of him!
that they have to fawn over trump in order to curry favor/assistance from the US is truly sad
If NATO leaders bow down to convicted felon/sex abuser/business fraud, they're no better than trump! Are they suckers & losers like America's vets trump proclaimed of those who served/defended/protected/sacrificed & helped Europe or will they dismiss him as the big con-artist (marco) of all time.
But they flattered him a bit and sent him back to his corner quick so…no harm done. And a giant leap forward for the EU and the new NATO.
The Law of Unintended Consequences is hitting T hard. He’s just gone a long way toward making the EU the next major superpower and further marginalizing the US on the world stage. Way to go, Donakd
Trump will still stab all the allies in the back. The US can't be trusted anymore.
Agree, he can’t be trusted. He runs with the hares and the hounds.
Trump is calling you a fraud, repeatedly. Expose him with the shooting/ collision con. You're welcome. youtu.be/zRx0s3uKy0k
In Spain, there is even a debate about whether it makes sense to remain in NATO.
It's hard to hide the fact that the real intention of increasing defense spending is to force European governments to use our taxes to fund the American military industry. No way...
NATO was founded as an alliance to protect democratic nations from Russian authoritarianism. As a Putin shill himself, it is no surprise that Trump actively undermines NATO and its efforts to protect democratic Ukraine.
How exactly is it a win, that most other NATO countries prepare for full functionality without the US, diminishing the countries influence and standing in the world? It's a weird foreign policy to pursue for any country, to want to become irrelevant.
Because it forces the other nations to up their defence spending on machinery manufactured in the USA. The military industrial complex makes big profits, boosts the economy, and they likely give Donny kickbacks for it.
Do they though? Outside some jets already bought under Biden (probably can't get out of those contracts now), several European countries are looking to buy from France and UK instead as soon as possible.
I hope you’re right.
It was in the news a couple weeks back, that both Germany and UK were at least discussing whether they shouldn't buy jets from France instead. No idea if that's going to come to fruition or not.
I think Trump should pull America out of NATO. We need more enemies. 100+ is okay, but we can do better. F*ck humanity! Go dumpy diaper filled Don!
Do you not mean big win for Putin.🤷♀️
