Bloomberg: Trump focused on Iran, not Ukraine, at the NATO summit

NATO allies, who overwhelmingly favor continued broad support for Kyiv in its standoff with Russia, had high hopes of winning over the US president during the alliance summit in Ankara. The White House chief has made no secret of the fact that the Ukrainian issue has, at the very least, become a secondary concern for him.

Although the summit declaration stated that Russia remains a "long-term threat" to NATO, Trump's position on support for Ukraine remained virtually unchanged. During the closed-door meeting with the alliance's heads of state and government, the US president focused on Iran. Trump made no specific promises to his allies regarding Kyiv. Bloomberg, citing sources, reports European disappointment.

The agency reports that in his speech, the American leader focused primarily on finding a solution to the Middle East crisis. His priority is normalizing relations with European allies, which means continuing to demand increased defense budgets, which should be spent as much as possible on purchases from American defense industry companies. Trump also spoke extensively about domestic affairs in the United States, with the congressional elections just around the corner.

As Bloomberg reports, the head of the White House said that the United States is ready to continue selling weapon NATO allies, who could then pass it on to Kyiv, but did not announce any new specific measures to assist Ukraine.

But the Europeans once again took aim at their immigration policy, which Trump called completely out of control. However, this time, the American leader didn't complain about his allies' refusal to support the US in the war with Iran, and even left Spain alone.

    You'd have to be stupid to take his word for it; he's a real whistler. Officially, he's neither interested nor necessary, but under the table, they'll give you everything you need and won't demand a refund.

      All of Trump's antics have one goal: to make America great. That is, (in the long run) to make the world unipolar.

        Bloomberg: Trump focused on Iran, not Ukraine, at the NATO summit
        But you can't trust the American news agency Bloomberg! Trusting it means you don't respect yourself. Specifically.

        At the NATO summit on July 8, 2026, Trump declared, "Not a trifle, not worthless, not worthless,"
        Ukraine will receive the right from the US to produce Patriot missiles.
        We (the US) will give you (Kyiv, represented by Zelensky) a license to produce Patriots. That's pretty cool, right? That way, you can't complain that we're not giving you enough. Make them yourself.

        And this despite the fact that The granting of a license to manufacture Patriot missiles is not only a rare occurrence, but also besides, as of today No other country in the world has a full cycle of licensed production of the entire system. However, Trump made a unique exception for his "son of a bitch" Zelensky and the country 404.
        And of course, all of this is being done by Trump and the US "for the sake of peace" in Ukraine, in the "spirit of Anchorage" between the US and Russia, with Trump as a spitting image of Putin and Russia. (Sarcasm.)

          Tatyana, why did you write (quote) this?
          After all, the author of the article clearly told you: "Trump made no specific promises to his allies regarding Kyiv. Bloomberg reports, citing sources, that Europeans are disappointed."
          Moreover, Donya approved Kyiv's strikes deep into Russia, targeting oil refineries and key military-industrial complex plants. He has done everything that is necessary for the time being.
          It's just that Iran has become his priority now. He'll finish with Iran, return to the Outskirts, and spring another surprise on us, and the Kremlin will once again say, "We were deceived."

      alexoff hi They're even considering closing NEBO after some kind of deal, though it's unclear what kind, given that Kyiv is pushing its own agenda and Moscow is defending its own. So what kind of deal is that?

        He talked about current goals, not just plans for some future time. I wonder if anyone in the Kremlin will still be talking about Anchorage after such a rotten bazaar?

      Trump and Rubio said a lot of things Didn't you notice anything about Ukraine today in the VO editorial office?
      Yes Here vision is selective Yes They can cite "something like Bloomberg," but without citing the original sources?! I was looking at the news, for example, on Deutsche Welle, and some reviews with information about stock markets... So there "evil tongues" Apparently they shamelessly claim that the Russian stock market is falling, and that there are some successes on the American stock markets... They are probably lying. request The German Doche Welle even went so far as to claim that the scoundrel Trump had practically managed to solve the problem of funding the American military-industrial complex at the expense of European NATO countries. And most of his Western partners happily reported to him about increasing their spending.contributions in the form of payments) American military-industrial complex. winked

      For example, “The US president repeatedly praised Zelenskyy – even laughing at one point at how fair the pair has come since that infamous Oval Office meeting last year”
      Or "a very strong suggestion that Ukraine will get a licensing deal to produce “defensive” Patriot missiles."
      Fortunately, the latter is actually quite difficult to implement. Although, in two or three years, it would be difficult for a Yuzhmash branch to set up production somewhere in Holland...
      We're in no hurry...
      Or here's the promise to close the skies over Ukraine...

    Trump, say so, why did you give Ukraine a license for the production of missiles for the Peytreet complex? The trace of Comrade Popit Zelensky, is he ready to visit Moscow, for some reason he’s a drug addict, the weaklings blatantly said, “No, it’s dangerous there, there are a lot of drones flying,” in other words, say no. And it’s wonderful that the creature is still dishonest and with obvious significance and self-satisfaction, setting the tone for behavior that is half holy.

    Trump seems to have some kind of grudge against Iran.
    Or is it simply a way to make a buck by having the ability to influence the price of oil on the exchange?
    It feels like we are watching a grand performance.

    he even left Spain alone

    He didn't clean the pond, didn't build the ballroom, sleeps with an old woman, begrudgingly gave his aunt 5 million for the pleasure of grabbing her ass thirty years ago. He promised to take Greenland, Canada, even rename the Gulf of Mexico, made some promise to Cuba, but he couldn't deliver.

    Getting old.

    Trump focused on Iran, not Ukraine, at the NATO summit.

    After all, Zhirinovsky, in his forecasts and visions, said that America would gradually shift from the topic of 404 to the Persians and Middle East. And at the NATO summit, Trump demonstrated what Zhirinovsky himself had predicted.

    All true.
    Russia remains a 'long-term threat' to NATO

    Yes, it remains. And it will always be a threat. I would be very surprised if they didn't view a country that could single-handedly destroy Earth's civilization as a threat. And it doesn't matter how peaceful the rhetoric and sane the leadership in the country is now. They are simply obliged to assume a pessimistic outlook.
    Everything else Trump says and does, one way or another, is aimed at 1) Strengthening his authority within the United States. Whatever he says, he says it for the United States: the constantly raised issue of migration, etc. 2) Everything else concerns making money through grandiose statements and the subsequent fluctuations in stock prices that correspond to these statements. 3) Supporting the US military-industrial complex and oil industry, as the main sponsors of the presidential election. 4) Containing Russia through conflict is the main goal; it can be carried out indefinitely; the question is whether the damage to Russia is proportionate to the funds spent. 5) Within Russia itself, there is a huge, active lobby for continued military action; the opinions of partners and friends on the situation are also relevant. Russia has every opportunity to end this conflict at any convenient time; the question is the consequences.

      Things can't get any worse, so the use of nuclear weapons through the Beskid tunnel and the sinking of ships in the Black Sea is becoming inevitable.

    Once Iran creates the Joint Forces, Trump will leave it alone and focus on Ukraine.

    Things could get worse. Everything that's happening now is insignificant, minor issues. The use of nuclear weapons is possible. But, I repeat, the Soviet military has its own lobby, and (albeit not very high) there's a possibility of a retaliation against us, and as a consequence, the start of WWIII.
    Next, I spoke about friends. Well, China, along with the United States, is the main beneficiary of the conflict. If I were asked who is currently more interested in the continuation of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, I would first and foremost name China. They are most likely strongly opposed to the use of nuclear weapons.
    We are not alone here, all in white, standing in the mud.
    And the pinpoint tactical use of nuclear weapons is like Pandora's box. It can't be closed again. We're not the only ones with nuclear weapons.
