President Trump held a bilateral meeting with NATO General Secretary Mark Rutte earlier today during the NATO Summit in Ankara, Turkey.

WATCH THIS ONE!

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.
