Trump Frays NATO Ties During Turkey Trip

President Trump used a quick stop in Turkey to buffet NATO allies, threatening to cut trade with Spain, reiterating hardline Iran rhetoric, renewing a Greenland bid, hinting at pulling U.S. troops from Europe, and praising China, all while urging a tougher stance on the alliance. Despite the rhetoric, European leaders reaffirmed unity and Ukraine support, including licensing Kyiv to manufacture its own Patriot interceptors, signaling a continued but strained transatlantic partnership amid the biggest post-Cold War shift in U.S. security posture.
