Trump lambasts NATO allies over defense spending, revives Greenland claim at summit

During the ongoing NATO summit in Ankara, US President Donald Trump declared that the ceasefire with Iran was "over" following a series of overnight American strikes on Iranian targets. These strikes were reportedly in retaliation for earlier Iranian attacks on commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, prompting President Trump to describe Iranian leadership as "scum" and "sick people," though he indicated that negotiations could still continue.

The president's pronouncements overshadowed the summit, where he also reiterated long-standing criticisms of European allies for insufficient defense spending and renewed his controversial calls for the United States to acquire Greenland from Denmark. Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen firmly rejected the notion, stating that Greenland is "not for sale," while NATO leaders sought to demonstrate unity by announcing significant new defense collaborations to address Trump's concerns.
