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.

Rutte is an interesting cat.
Is there any chance he actually is aligned with PDJT and wants Europe to actually provide for its own defense or is he assigned as “kiss Trump’s butt” guy
It’s about the money for that disingenuous eurosocialist.
Which one?
All of them
Keir Starmer is advocating for the position after Rutte
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2026/06/28/starmer-eyeing-up-nato-chief-role/
I thought Keir Starmer put in his resignation as Prime Minister of the UK? So, is he trying to line up the NATO gig for AFTER he leaves 10 Downing Street?
This is a very long period of resignation!
Many have predicted that Never Here Starmer is positioning
himself up to be successor to either Ursula Fond of Lying—
EU Head…or Rutte replacement-NATO.
The way that UK picks replacements is….different.
could be the middle-end of July….or maybe even
September before he is gone.
Will things change….probably not.🤷♀️
Just have to wait and see.
16 minutes…The Duran
Starmer Out, Burnham In: UK Plan to Lock In Forever War – YouTube
Never Here Keir….what happens when you spend more time in Ukraine, working for Ukraine and dancing to the tune of EU….and Ursula Fond of Lying and her crew.
He is still our beloved leader.
The way our system works is the leader of the majority part automatically becomes Prime Minister.
I til his successor – another Marxist called Andy Burnham – is anointed labour party leader,Two Tier Keir remains PM, probably in September.
The poor overworked dears are about to have a 3 month holiday, so nothing changes till they catch their breath.
Katie Hopkins mocked Burnham and put it plainly, Patrick.
Burnham will ooze seamlessly into Downing Street without a general election (which should be called but won’t) on the back of 7000 votes.
It just gets worse and worse.
Same path as Rutte.
Get ousted as PM of Netherlands then make the move to NATO.
Agree!
I have always said …EU and NATO leaders..
They shuffle the “leaders” like chairs on the Titanic.
Why am I not surprised…
Failed wreckers of their countries fail upward.
See Mark Rutte.
Assigned to keep NATO relevant past the 2028 election.
At the very least that means appeasing President Trump.
Don’t forget Rutte was the PM of the Netherlands during covid with all those restrictions including taking over farmland. When his government coalition got ousted, he moved to NATO.
Globalist hack through and through.
If Rutte is aligned with President Trump, that’s fine … but a not a single one of the members is aligned with Rutte nor the US except for Hungary, Slovakia and maybe Romania … which means no NATO members are aligned with Rutte nor Trump.
Time to realign the US Forward deployment requirements to the actual threat to NATO members … there is NONE.
Cut US financial commitments to NATO … to cash and carry joint leasing needs and office space at NATO HQs .. as well as what is deemed appropriate for the defenses of the Arctic Regions of Greenland.
“Joint Bases and Leased Basing Space, with/on an European Owned asset, is whole lot cheaper than a full blown US Owned and Operated facilities … plus allot fewer of them would be needed.
If the EU gets a wild hair and threatens a leasing agreement … fine … up stakes and pull out of the asset … cut payments.
Cross off Hungary after Orban got booted.
..is he same as Sen. Graham..???
Only that their interests align with NATO.
Rutte is globaist/WEF they need NATO (US military) as their military muscle. Graham is on board with that, but Graham supports the military industrial complex in general so wars outside of NATO’s sphere of influence are also good in his book.
Defintely the latter
He’s President Trump’s “kiss butt guy.”
Rutte, as PM, ordered all of the family farms in the Netherlands to shutdown permanently in order to fight climate change. Farming is a major industry in The Netherlands and food supplier to Europe. He is no friend of Donald Trump!
Second option is bingo. Rutte is a career politico and SecGen for NATO (Not A Trump Organization) is not his last.
Butt kisser….he’s a WEF-er …..never forget his Netherlands PM leadership or lack there of.
Rutte is a World Economic Forum tool. When he was Dutch PM, his cabinet was heavily penetrated by the WEF.
The Dutch would be eating bugs for protein if he had his way.
WOULD YOU
Buy a BMW or VW from Him ?
Netherlands Built Ships and raised Cows in the PAST on small Farms / along with Licensed hookers in Amsterdam…
Kind of like New Orleans ( without the Govt Licensed hookers ) –
I’d say that he a more well accomplished butt kisser than the rest of the low end ones we’re accustomed to dealing with.
I am happy that Meloni respected the restraining order. When a man says no …
…meloni..mel;oni did she try get “to face” of VSGPDJT again..???…I think Russians must have a lots of fun to watch gathering of those NATO’s clowns with very,..very few exemptions……
This Meloni?
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeees Betsy…..
“You’re fired!”
Intentionally or not, Trump is showing the world very clearly that pieces of paper signed by the US or NATO cannot be relied upon, at all. Iran gets it. So far, Russia has not.
When the terms on those pieces of paper are violated the contract is null and void.
You need to do a bit more research/thinking before you make such statements.
Start with the phrase illegal contract work around .
You will much more informed .
Then you will have a basis for forming a comprehensive view regarding this issue.
Iran controls the strait not because of a piece of paper but because they control the strait.
I wouldn’t say Iran controls the straight.
They are exercising their muscles there in direct contradiction of the Memo of Understanding.
We ,the US Military controls it as evidenced by the destruction of their sites attacked by the USA last night.
The USA can strike them at will .
All they can do is attack defenseless ships they ,
Iran have agreed to allow safe passage in the memo of understanding.
I hope Trump castrates Iran once and for all so the good people of the world can breathe a sigh of relief.
They think they do.
Fools think they know everything.
We trust God.
President Trump was saved for this time for a reason.
Too clever, by half.
/s
“Iran gets it”. Nope…
“Russia has not.” ???
I wondered where those kind of thoughts were coming from…
Perhaps keeping your thoughts on the main floor would be more productive…
CNN
Hilarious 😂
What I have seen so far looks like some “important” people ended up mostly observing instead of participating.
NATO was formed to counter a GENUINE threat from the old USSR. That time has come and gone. Since then, to keep this antiquated globalist structure alive, new “threats” have to be manufactured. Many have nothing to do with the old Western Europe. So why is NATO even involved here??
Taking on the overstated Iran threat is nothing but globalist mission creep and America-Firsters should not support it. It means that our tax and debt dollars are propping up our status as the world’s cop.
Blackrock, JP Morgan, Globalists want Russia’s resources.
The old “How much is enough?” “Just a little bit more.”
Russia has nukes. Not going to happen militarily.
Winner for short but concise response of the Day!
Another vote for Jeff. Putin has said the war is existential for Russia. Seems like you should believe him.
NATO is a protection racket. No-show jobs, money laundering, bribes. A place where European ex-PMs can go and have a high budget, highly paid job while producing absolutely zero. Payoff for being a loyal globalist. It serves neither the Europeans people or American people.
And like “the mob” it’s hard to leave.
Having a secular Turkey in Nato as a counterweight to the Soviet Union made sense. What an Islamic Turkey is doing in Nato now that the communist threat from Russia is gone is folly. But yeah, lets arm all these islamic states to the max!
Thank you, Sundance!
Yes. It has been quite a ride being exposed to so much truth. In fact, it has been quite an honor.
Also from the NATO Summit:
Trump Says US Will Give Ukraine License to Make Patriot Missiles
I’m sorry but this is insane! Zelensky doesn’t need anywhere NEAR a Patriot missile battery.
Mark Rutte strikes me as very slick and completely full of crap.
Can’t get around the glibness.
same as RINO’s in the CONgre$$……….
He wants it both ways.
Tell me why…
That’s the default position of people who are bi.
Agree!
Rutte is the person who called President Trump -Daddy
during last year NATO meeting.
🙄 He caught a lot of flak about it.
Pull NATO’s non-compliant Members’ chains by starting to pull US troops from non-participating NATO EU members,… starting with Spain. Sit back, drink coffee and watch for the results! The Big Dog eats first!

President Trump says the Islamic regime of Iran “DESERVES” every single bit of pain coming their way
“They were worried we’d kill them during the funeral. Did anybody think I’d be doing this for a living? Maybe PETE [Hegseth], Pete loved this from day one!”
“We made [the funeral] safe for them. AND THEY TRY AND KNOCK OUT SHIPS.”
“They’re very dishonorable people and they can’t keep a deal.”
“They really deserve it. Because, they say they want to make a deal — but they don’t. They asked for a timeout for the funeral of Khamenei. I said, give it to them. And they start shooting missiles!”
President Trump has just revealed the US can swiftly destroy Iran’s desalination and power plants
That would be PURE DEVASTATION.
“There’s not a thing they can do about it.”
“We’re not attacking at the highest level. Bridges, we can knock down in one day. Every single bridge…their electric, manufacturing facilities. Their electric plants. We will, if we have to, take them out! I don’t want to.”
“They have desalinization plants. We’ll take them out if we have to.”

My husband says we’re way past the point of being altruistic. President Trump doesn’t want Iranians to suffer but what about our suffering if the Democrats win in November?
“We’re not attacking at the highest level. Bridges, we can knock down in one day. Every single bridge…their electric, manufacturing facilities. Their electric plants. We will, if we have to, take them out! I don’t want to.”
“They have desalinization plants. We’ll take them out if we have to.”
Thank you Sundance, looking forward to it.
President Trump has given them so many chances.
His patience is beyond understanding.
Full speed ahead President Trump!!! 💥🇺🇸🦅💯✝️
We are forever with you and eternally grateful for your strength.❤️🙏
Iran Threatens To Reclose Strait, As US Military ‘Ready’ to Restart Blockade: ‘Trump Will Certainly Lose’
https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/theyre-scum-trump-says-us-iran-ceasefire-over-sending-oil-higher
ZeroHedge has been giving pretty good coverage.
Lt. Col Danny Davis has been covering. 🫡🇺🇸
Definitely gives food for thought…..
Daniel Davis Deep Dive (@DanielLDavis1): “OK, terrific. We hit 80 targets in Iran for violating the MOU’s provisions for the SOH. And what next? Is anybody under the delusion that 80 strikes is going to cause the IRGC to “behave“ as President Trump wants? One thing we can say for absolutely certain now, is that Iran will fight fire with fire, and will at least hit back as hard as they received, with a pretty good chance they will strike back harder than what they got hit with. And then what? What is the president prepared to do if Iran strikes back even harder than the 80s targets we destroyed? President Trump will fire back 100 targets next time? And then what? You see where this is going, right? Where does this end? What is the strategy behind the strikes? What is reasonable to expect as an outcome? If these strikes are unlikely to make Iran cower into submission – and since 15,000 attacks in the first 40 days of war did not cause them to submit then 80 are certainly not going to do the trick

The part she says about Erdogan shortly after the 6 min mark is interesting but I haven’t spent time focusing on him or Turkey.
Anyone care to opine on her remarks there?
Thank you
My take is that she’s saying that Erdogan on behalf of Turkey is refraining from taking the side of the globalists/British Empire.
Turkey is in a very unique position geographically.
If the globalists took the Ukraine their next target, besides Russia and the Arctic, would be Turkey.
Turkey is in a better position with regard to protecting itself by maintaining alliances with the United States and Russia, both of whom not only want the globalists out of the Ukraine, both want the globalist influence worldwide to cease.
In order for the globalists to succeed in the Ukraine they need access and control of the Black Sea.
Turkey isn’t going to let that happen and Russia and the United States are going to make sure of it.
What do you think?
0.o
I think you’re correct.
The entire world is in a bad situation.
Much of that it due to NATO/Globalists with London being the key to that which appears to be true the more I get into the Promethean podcast perspective.
Erdogan is a snake🐍. Agree with their take.
Even Putin- after Erdogan released Azov prisoners…remember that?
does not trust Erdogan…most people/countries don’t.
Can also add……
Turkey has some leverage…🤬🤢
Remember the visits of Ursula Fond of Lying with
Erdogan and payments of Billions 💰….to keep
Erdogan from releasing the 3.2 million “ refugees” that
Turkey has/ is been holding….and not releasing into Europe?
Plenty of articles about it available.🤷♀️
Turkey has been verbally bashing Israel.
Turkey knows that they are next on Israel attack list
Plenty of video and articles.
Nuttyahoo has been verbally bashing Turkey.
Plenty of articles and videos…..

While I’m still listing to the video I looked this up because his name didn’t ring a bell so I thought I’d share for anyone in the same boat. BTW is there a mess deck on this ship?
Brigadier General Blaine D. Holt (Ret.) is a former U.S. Air Force officer and current national security commentator known for his roles as Deputy U.S. Military Representative to NATO and a frequent contributor to Newsmax.

🚨 WOW! Canada PM Mark Carney just came out and ADMITTED “TRUMP WON the argument” on NATO after 47 told them to stop freeloading
The fake news is furious! 🔥
“He’s not just WINNING the argument — he’s WON the argument…countries need to take more responsibility.”
Video linked….
More BS from the NATO summit:
Donald Trump said he intends to remove Syria from the U.S. list of state sponsors of terrorism.
Really? Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa hails from al-Qaeda and Al-Nusra Front. He’s a terrorist!
Has Trump been riding in a car with Gillum down highway 98 in Alabama?
It gets worse the more I learn. Not only is Trump sending F-35’s to Turkey, though that’s bad enough. Now there’s talk of sending Patroit Missles too…just as soon as Turkey can figure out what to do with the Russian made S-400’s they have!
Do these people WANT war?
F-35s: Just so they have ‘that switch’ in them.
Seriously Nutty. What planet are you living on? BS talking points and feigning disbelief is no way to grow up. Keep trying,,,, your doomsday slip is showing.
Dude. The reason Turkey was removed from the International F35 program (distinctly different than the domestic F35) is they bought a S400 Russian air defense system.
That concern is still valid.
Turkey is removing the s400 and sending it to UAE. Thus that issue is gone. If the deal substitutes S400 for Patriot that is great and a win win.
Remember Turkey has been a licensed manufacturer for the F16 for as long as I remember.
An if Russia sells them a better air defense system, then what? No, the issue is NOT gone! They were willing to buy Russian equipment when they thought it advantageous to them. How has that changed?
It is all about the money. The industrial war companies love it. What will they do when President Trump, the champion deal maker is no longer in office I wonder? 🤔
God bless our leader! 🙏🇺🇲
I’m sure this is the globalists thinking. I just don’t understand Trump’s thinking on this. Don’t get me wrong, I think Trump is, BY FAR, the best president in my over 65 years on this earth. I’m thankful to God every day for him being president. I just don’t understand the moves he is making in Turkey, Syria, and Ukraine at this summit.
HELP, Sundance, HELP! Please help me to see how this all makes sense!
IMHO, by bending over backwards to allow negotiations, our President can say, if and when the time comes when anything of value in the nation of Iran is bombed to smithereens, ‘we tried to negotiate, but they were not reliable partners and we’re out of options.’
See comment below.
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2026/07/08/president-trump-holds-nato-press-conference-at-conclusion-of-summit/#comment-12685058%20Copied%20to%20clipboard!
It alarms me that PDJT is still apparently allowing that ridiculous negotiating team to call the shots. Most of us knew months ago the Iranian regime would never keep any deal, as evidenced by the fact that they never have. Why does the President allow them to waste everyone’s time and not finish this? We need to defeat Iran once and for all and then move on. Is the US even capable of winning any wars anymore? Militarily we can do it hands down, and in short order, if they were allowed to call the shots. But politically, there doesn’t seem to be the will to win a war anymore. That’s a problem.
It does surprise me that President Trump is letting them take control. He is the Commander in Chief and he is relegating his responsibility to negotiators.
How in the world can PresidentTrump project strength when he goes on the world stage venting his personal response is to finish he job, but then says he is going against his own tried and true instincts in favor of negotiations that he knows will fail. Thus, making operations later much more difficult. 🤔
I believe we can perhaps attribute that to Kushner’s participation. I always cringe whenever he is involved in such consequential affairs. I will be very curious as to how history is going to record his participation. Just my personal take.
This should be job of Marco ..not real estate brokers..
See comment below.

I dont agree with your personal take. I think Kushner is an invaluable asset who has negotiated peace with Abraham Accords that no one could have imagined, and which is still in effect in spite of Middle East upheaval
President Trump has his own objectives and will act at the most opportune time to achieve those objectives. His number one asset is to not be pinned down to anything, allowing him the greatest degree of flexibility.
He operates on a completely different paradigm than most; it could be likened to a form of John Boyd’s OODA Loop, explained here:
https://oodaloop.com/the-ooda-loop-explained-the-real-story-about-the-ultimate-model-for-decision-making-in-competitive-environments/
Maybe to keep Congress off his back with their new war powers resolution–if Trump is still in talks with Iran then war is theoretically at a halt?
Just don’t get why Zelensky always, always gets mentioned no matter where. Not even a NATO member and he gets mentioned by President Trump. No wonder the man has the delusion of grandeur. They feed it. I just don’t get it.
He is like the little bratty kid his mom drags him places where he is not wanted.
Remember the US put him in place, the US gave billions of dollars to him, the US the US helped to start this whole thing with all the key EU leaders running just slightly behind in funding (okay a lot), but just ahead in dragging this little A$$ clown with them the whole way. When your IC stinks up the place, there isn’t much room to hide. Zelensky is the BALL AND CHAIN until he ain’t. Spit
What you say is true but its still sickening to me to see everyone, including our president, making out like Zelensky is some kind of poster boy. What he has done to his nation is horrible yet he gets in every meeting even when he shouldn’t be there then they bring him front and center.
saaadly …seen to me VSGPDJT do not have upper hand over Z…. and there is another beautie……
The data point I am searching for is: has PDJT left Turkish airspace.
Someone needs to tell POTUS the AI companies are NOT building their own electric plants.
There are many, many locations nationwide where the existing grid is the only option mentioned.
Not a single one of the AI builders even discusses their own electric generation.
I mean, seriously….WTF?
