\"US<\/p>\n

\n Any hope that a more conciliatory President Donald Trump might appear at this year\u2019s NATO summit has evaporated.\n <\/p>\n

\n It was always a long-shot that a leader who spent the last five months castigating US allies for not helping more with Iran would arrive in Ankara in a pleasant mood.\n <\/p>\n

\n He had already said he was coming here only begrudgingly<\/a>, as a show of respect to Turkey\u2019s authoritarian leader.\n <\/p>\n

\n Yet even with those low expectations, Trump\u2019s fury stood out on Wednesday as the summit was getting underway.\n <\/p>\n

\n He was enraged that Iran has, in his mind, been dishonest in its dealings with the United States.\n <\/p>\n

\n He was upset that NATO allies rebuffed his ambitions to annex Greenland<\/a>.\n <\/p>\n

\n And he was furious at Spain<\/a> for not allowing US planes to its bases in the war with Iran.\n <\/p>\n

\n And he was incredulous that his Oval Office predecessors \u2014 Republican and Democrats alike \u2014 had allowed all of this to pile up on his plate.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cIt should have happened years ago and it couldn\u2019t. But Obama didn\u2019t do it and Biden didn\u2019t do it. And frankly, Bush didn\u2019t do it either,\u201d he said of trying to get European countries to pay more for defense.\n <\/p>\n

\n Mark Rutte, the NATO secretary general, had tried to avoid this. He visited the White House last month in an attempt to smooth over any rifts, including through the use of charts.\n <\/p>\n

\n As he was watching the very scenario he was hoping to prevent play out before his eyes, Rutte made light attempts at pushback.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cIt\u2019s your win, your win,\u201d Rutte said of getting NATO to boost defense spending. \u201cGrab the win,\u201d he said encouragingly.\n <\/p>\n

\n The flattery did not seem to work.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cAny questions?\u201d Trump asked, moving swiftly on.\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Any hope that a more conciliatory President Donald Trump might appear at this year\u2019s NATO summit has evaporated.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":750297,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[4,450,451,29430,3,452,453],"class_list":["post-750296","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-breaking-news","tag-breaking-news","tag-breakingnews","tag-headlines","tag-hnk","tag-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/750296","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=750296"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/750296\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/750297"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=750296"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=750296"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=750296"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
