Trump Heads To Europe As Its Top Official Praises Trump For ‘Decisive Action In Iran’

President Donald Trump returned to the White House promising “peace through strength.” Now, fresh off a shaky peace between Iran and Israel, Trump is en route to The Hague to broker another international deal. The president will summit with other global leaders at the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) for two days. Their time together will be brief. The stakes are high. 

Trump is expected to spend less than 24 hours on the ground, according to Politico. This marks his first NATO appearance since 2019. Leaders are anticipated to rewrite the rulebook on defense spending, pledging to spend 5% of their national Gross Domestic Product (GDP) towards defense and security. Not everyone is on board with the Trump-backed initiative — but NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte is among Trump’s most fervent allies.
