North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) leaders concluded their annual summit in Ankara, Turkiye, on July 8, capping two days of talks that swung between confrontation and reconciliation as US President Donald Trump repeatedly clashed with European allies over Iran, Greenland and defence spending, before eventually declaring "there was a lot of love in that room."
The summit played out even as the US-Iran ceasefire came apart and Russia escalated attacks on Ukraine, according to a Bloomberg report. It was the 36th NATO summit and the second hosted by Turkiye after 2004, held at the Beştepe Presidential Complex.
