President Donald Trump, Turkish President Recep Erdogan NATO General Secretary Mark Rutte are scheduled to deliver statements and take media questions at the conclusion of the 2026 NATO Summit in Ankara, Turkey.
Even NATO organizers are unsure what the communication flow will present. Therefore, I am providing livestreams that may or may not be direct to the pressers.

During the press availability President Trump noted the Memorandum of Understanding with Iran has been essentially nullified, and the U.S. is responding with 20:1 retaliatory military strike into Iran. Trump noted “they’re scum” when discussing the lies from the Iranian regime.
Moving to NATO, President Trump specifically called out the weak NATO members who stood by and did nothing while Iran was building nuclear threats. President Trump called out France, Germany and the U.K. specifically, with a strong condemnation of Spain for their political interference.
President Trump pulled no punches and further stated that all U.S. trade with Spain should be immediately discontinued as a consequence of their interference and lack of support for security goals and objectives. WATCH:
.
Do not skip this press availability. President Trump speaks plainly about the geopolitical dynamics throughout the region and beyond. This is a level of brutal honesty that will never be repeated in American politics.
This thread will refresh daily and appear above the Open Discussion Thread.
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

Nigel Farage has been under extreme pressure from the U.K political apparatus surrounding a £5 million personal donation from a long-term friend Christopher Harborne to pay for a personal security protective detail.
Both the Labour and Conservative political parties in the U.K have been blistering Farage under investigations around this donation, and the subsequent investigations are being used as justifications in attempts to remove him from his position as leader of the Reform Party. Essentially, the British government -writ large- are using all of the mechanisms of government institutions trying to take him down.
To put a stop to the nonsense, Nigel Farage has decided to resign from his position as a member of Parliament, and then immediately run again for reelection in the special election (bi-election). VIDEO:

A solid explanation of the strategy is outlined in the video below.
CNN Narrative Engineer Dana Bash clutches her pearls in worry about a potentially weakened position for Israel against the backdrop of President Trump visiting Turkey and structuring diplomatic relations with Recep Erdogan.
It seems quite odd to see CNN have great concerns about the well-being of Israel given their leading role as critics against the actions of Israel. Then again, CNN has the art of pretending down pat. The transparency is laughable. WATCH:

Things are coming together quickly now as Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney begins unveiling details to support his illusion of meeting NATO obligations, with a smart money laundering assist from Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
To establish part of the background, remind yourself that former Canadian Minister Chrystia Freeland was appointed by Zelenskyy to lead a Ukraine redevelopment operation. Today, speaking from Ankara, Turkey, Carney and Zelenskyy announced a $900 million fund for short, mid-term and long-term investment in Ukraine. WATCH:
But wait, it gets much better. A few hours later Prime Minister Carney and Volodymr Zelenskyy announced a new Canada-based financial institution called the Defense, Security and Resilience Bank (DSRB). {citation}
CANADA – […] “Mark Carney, welcomed the support for the Canada-led DSRB by: Albania, Belgium, Greece, Latvia, Luxembourg, Romania, Türkiye, and Ukraine. These countries will be entrusted with defining the initial policies and directives of the Bank, shaping its operations and ensuring benefits flow to members’ economies.”
[…] Leveraging a strong credit rating, the Bank will provide long-term, low-cost financing for defence, security, and resilience initiatives across supply chains.” (more)
When you see the term “resilience initiatives” think climate change. Specifically, think carbon capture and carbon trading mechanisms. The DSRB banking approach, in combination with Chrystia Freeland heading the Ukraine Economic Development operation, then takes us to the carbon capture deal with Alberta [carbon capture and storage (CCS) project] and then, wait for it,…. The TKMS submarine purchase contract with Germany.
Oh, this is interesting for those who walk the deep weeds.
On June 29th a woman dressed as a man placed a package bomb at the Monaco residence of Ukrainian business tycoon Vadym Yermolaiev who refused to take sides in the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Yermolaiev, a Ukrainian property tycoon, was sanctioned by Kyiv in 2023 over his alleged business activities in Russian-occupied Crimea.
Immediately after the bombing suspect was identified as Ukrainian national Anastasiia Berezovska, the Zelenskyy government said she was operating as a Russian asset and had not been to Ukraine in years. Ukrainian sources suggested she was born in Kazakhstan, holds a Russian passport, and lived in occupied Crimea. {citation}
All reasonable/non-pretending people recognized immediately Ukraine was the likely source of the terrorist attack, and Zelenskyy was just trying to cover his tracks. Well, Ukraine’s narrative has just collapsed as the bomber was just found in Kiev, shot four-times in the back of the head, and the suspect in her killing is a Ukraine intelligence agent.
This news breaks this morning just as Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is prancing around the NATO summit in Turkey, despite Ukraine not being a NATO member.
CTV – KYIV, Ukraine — Ukraine’s Security Service on Tuesday said it found the body of Ukrainian national Anastasiia Berezovska, who had been wanted by authorities in Monaco in connection with the bombing targeting Ukrainian business tycoon Vadym Yermolaiev.
The security service, also known by its local abbreviation SBU, said an officer serving in Ukraine’s military intelligence agency confessed to killing Berezovska with the help of a former law enforcement officer. He claimed he acted on his own initiative and without informing his superiors, the statement said.
President Trump and Turkish President Recep Erdogan hold a bilateral meeting in Ankara, Turkey, ahead of the beginning of the NATO summit. President Trump and President Erdogan exchanged pleasantries, appreciation and mutual respect in their introduction with the media. Video Prompted to 01:45
The first question to President Trump was about selling F-35’s to Turkey. President Trump notes the issue should not be controversial as Turkey is a NATO ally. People who are concerned about F-35 sales, should publicly explain why a NATO member should be denied an allied weapon.
President Trump also noted there is a chemistry of honesty between himself and President Erdogan. He said directly if the NATO summit were not being held in Ankara, there is a strong possibility President Trump would not have attended. This positions Erdogan with strong respect as expressed by President Trump.
Again, President Trump outlines the specifics of why the European members of NATO are no longer reliable allies. In a weird way this is the exact same long-term position of Turkey and explains the synergy between the two leaders on the issue.
Turkish President Recep Erdogan is a perfectly Turkish man of notoriously intemperate disposition.
Erdogan wears many masks; however, unlike many leaders he does so publicly. He will say whatever is needed to make the ‘West’ think they have upper hand, while doing exactly the opposite.
Erdogan will decry terrorism, take in Syrian refugees and simultaneously kill Kurds, and provide safe harbor for the worst elements of The Muslim Brotherhood (political Islam). No one sleeps in Erdogan’s camp without one eye open and a weapon under their pillow.
The ‘West’ hates his duplicity and leverage. The Russians don’t trust him an inch. The Arabs think he’s sketchy, and the Persians tolerate him. However, Erdogan is centered in the Gateway between the Middle East and Europe; even Turkey’s geography is critical.
There is only one guy in global politics who interacts with Recep Erdogan in a way that generates mutual respect; that guy is Donald Trump. The skillset that Trump carries is his lack of pretending, his brutal honesty in every interaction. Trump could be standing next to Erdogan at a presser, answer a question and say, “He’s a strong man, he’s probably lying, but that’s ok, I like him, it’s strong politics, you can’t be weak we will figure it out.”…. To wit Erdogan won’t flinch an inch but smile inside.
In a weird way, 99% of the viewing public will not understand the dynamic of this relationship, but it’s funny. If there was one global leader who would be disliked by NATO more than Erdogan, it’s probably Trump. The two non-pretending leaders -absolutely critical for everything- have a great deal of mutual respect for each other. There’s a reason why the notoriously insufferable NATO manipulator met President Trump at the airport, with an official greeting. WATCH:
