Trump Praises Ceasefire Between Israel and Iran, Announces Increased NATO Defense Spending


Brussels: US President Donald Trump confirmed that the ceasefire between Israel and Iran is very good. Trump told reporters during his attendance at the NATO summit that NATO countries will increase their defense spending from 2% to 5%. He stated that he has been requesting this increase for years and that NATO countries have agreed to implement it today.



According to National Iraqi News Agency, Trump stressed the significance of the ceasefire between Israel and Iran, highlighting that Israel returned planes that were intended to bomb Iran. He reiterated that the United States will not allow Iran to enrich uranium anymore but expressed optimism about establishing some type of relationship with Iran in the future.



Trump pointed out that Israel has suffered severe damage in recent days, but claimed that a great victory has been achieved in Iran.

Trump described the American strike in Iran as excellent, asserting that it destroyed everything that Israel was unable to destroy. He credited this action as pivotal in reaching a settlement with Iran. He drew a historical parallel by comparing the American strike’s impact to the strikes on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, implying that it was instrumental in ending the hostilities between Iran and Israel.
