US EditionTrump Joins NATO Summit in Aftermath of U.S. Iran Strikes
- President Donald Trump attended the NATO summit in The Hague on June 25-27, 2025, following U.S. airstrikes on Iran and amid ongoing global security concerns.
- The summit occurred as NATO members face pressure to increase defense spending from the current 2% of GDP to a new 5% benchmark, a goal strongly pushed by Trump.
- Leaders aimed to reaffirm support for Ukraine amid Russia's continued control of over 44,000 square miles of Ukrainian territory, while also addressing Middle East tensions between Iran and Israel.
- Dutch Prime Minister Rutte called the summit a major and groundbreaking moment crucial for ensuring long-term security, and NATO anticipates that all member countries will achieve the 2% defense spending target this year.
- The summit’s outcome suggests a likely agreement to boost defense commitments, though experts expect some resistance to Trump’s 5% target and note the Middle East crisis may influence alliance unity.
