CNN reported from live updates on the NATO summit in Ankara that President Donald Trump said an interim understanding with Iran is over, adding another major issue to an already tense gathering of allied leaders.
The comments came as NATO officials addressed renewed conflict involving Iran, recent U.S. military strikes, and concerns about security in the Strait of Hormuz. The summit placed fresh attention on how the alliance should respond to instability that could affect Europe, the Middle East, and global trade routes.
Ukraine was also central to the talks. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was expected to seek continued military support as Russia’s war continues. NATO members have been discussing how to strengthen Ukraine’s defenses while keeping the alliance aligned on long-term security commitments.
The meeting also reflected familiar disagreements inside NATO. Trump criticized some allies over defense spending and raised separate disputes involving trade and Greenland. Still, the main focus remained security readiness, support for Ukraine, and the widening concerns tied to Iran.
