Trump wins the victory circle, but the trap remains

On Air Force One’s way to the Netherlands’ NATO summit, Trump shared personal text messages from some unlikely source.

It was sent by NATO boss Mark Rutte, who praised the U.S. president for his achievements in using U.S. bombers to attack Iran’s nuclear facilities.

“Congratulations, thank you for your decisive action in Iran,” Rutte wrote in a message posted to his Truth Society account. “It’s really extraordinary, no one else dares to do it.”

Trump has had disagreements with NATO in the past because he was suspected of the coalition’s mutual defense agreement and the military contributions of other member states.

Rutte also pointed out that at the NATO summit, Trump “flyed to another great success” at the NATO summit, and member states have agreed to Trump’s request to increase defense spending to 5% of its GDP.

He concluded: “This will be your victory.”

Passionate words, and the president’s desire to share them with the world, illustrate the changes in the diplomatic equations between the Middle East and among us for Trump.

Last week, he left Canada’s G7 summit a day early as the conflict between Israel and Iran, and it seems that the United States is increasingly likely to join the fight.

Americans attacked Iran’s nuclear facilities on Saturday night, but by Tuesday morning the president left Washington for an international trip, this time a fragile ceasefire established between the two belligerent parties.

Rut’s Word – NATO news officials confirmed to the BBC that the text matches the accounts provided in the records of White House officials and the accounts provided in the records.

Trump’s military strike eliminates the threat of Iran’s nuclear weapons. His move triggered a ceasefire and ended what he called the “12-day war.”

His involvement and pressure – including an outbreak of anger against both sides Tuesday morning and a “very firm, direct” call from what the White House calls “Air Force One’s Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is known as “Air Force One,” secured a ceasefire.

Last week, the United States’ allies were in a hurry. Now, Trump seems to be heading to Europe to cheer up.

However, the prospect is more complicated than this.

Although the administration touted the U.S. bombing “destroyed” Iran’s nuclear research facilities, U.S. military intelligence officials told U.S. media that the damage was not as serious as the White House claimed.

According to the Pentagon intelligence assessment, the country’s nuclear program may be restored within only a few months. People familiar with the matter told CBS News that there was no elimination of the Islamic Republic’s uranium-enriched reserves in the bombing.

There are still questions about the amount and location of Iran’s abundant uranium supply, a key component of nuclear weapons. Reports were also reported on undisclosed and undamaged research institutions elsewhere in Iran.

When the ceasefire is currently held, although the Middle East ditches are very fragile. In two weeks in Israel, Iran’s leadership was weakened and the country’s future is uncertain.

Just look at Syria’s long bloody civil war to see the risk of an authoritarian government losing power. Trump talked about Iran’s “love, peace and prosperity”, but chaos and regional turmoil remain realistic possibilities.

Although Trump appears to have stopped the two-week Israel-Iran battle, Trump inherited and promised war rage in Gaza and Ukraine.

However, for this White House, this seems to be another day’s focus.

Currently, it turns out that Trump’s domestic critics, especially within his own party, has been groundless. Thomas Massie, a Republican Congressman in Kentucky, had planned to introduce legislation to limit Trump’s use of military power in Iran, announcing that he is currently abandoning the effort.

This gives Trump political space to make his administration touted as unconditional success.

Since Trump elected him as his vice presidential running mate, JD Vance has frequently tried to add ideological substances to Trump’s American No. 1 politics.

On Tuesday morning, the Vice President socialized in the truth, saying three parts of what he was talking about Trump’s “foreign policy doctrine.”

He wrote: “1) clearly defines the interests of the United States; 2) actively negotiate to achieve this interest; 3) use overwhelming power when necessary.”

However, as the doctrine develops, this is not much available.

Often, the president’s foreign policy seems to be reactive and ambivalent, more tactical than strategy – whether it is the application and elimination of tariffs or negotiations with allies and opponents.

Over the past two weeks, Trump has been struggling between keeping the United States away from Israel’s attack on Iran and becoming an active participant in their past. From calling for Iran’s “unconditional surrender” to ceasefire negotiations on unclear conditions; from the idea of ​​the recreational regime changing to downplaying it.

It makes the roller coaster ride, and it seems to have catastrophic derailments around every corner.

But, as they say, it turns out to speak for themselves. This week, Trump’s turbulent journey ended on the victory circle.
