Trump follows the sole strategy at the NATO summit to Israel-Iran Waffenruhe

Noordwijk, Netherlands-when President Donald Trump arrives here on Tuesday to an important NATO summit, he will have a freshly mediated ceasefire in his luggage, which he hopes to be able to prove to his skeptics-also the participants of the conference.

The ceasefire between Israel and Iran

The agreement between Israel and Iran came about in the White House after an intensive diplomatia afternoon. Hours after she should come into force, accused Israel Iran of having fired several rockets and announced that it will react "with all violence". Tehran rejected the allegations and denied that he had violated the ceasefire.

Trump as a peace pitch

Trump hopes that the ceasefire-if it holds-will serve as a confirmation of the US attacks on Iran's nuclear facilities. These had caused mixed reactions in Europe because the countries feared that they were involved in a major war.

The agreement that Trump announced on Monday was taught with the help of Katar and seemed to push the Europeans to the edge. The White House employee explained that this diplomatic regulation would not have been possible if Trump would not have ordered the bombing at the weekend.

Trump’s self -staging

"Congratulations to everyone!" Posted Trump on Monday evening on his Truth Social platform, while unveiling the parameters of what he called the end of the "12-day war".

In Trump's thoughts, the agreement could strengthen his reputation as a global negotiating partner, especially at a time when his ability to conclude peace agreements is put to the test. While he returns to the international stage, the president seems to be eager to demonstrate his ability to bring war -leading parties to the table - even if he has not yet been able to solve the European conflict in the background this week.

The NATO summit in the Haag

This summit in the Hague had been carefully planned for months so as not to annoy Trump and to conceal the considerable differences between Europe and the United States in dealing with the war in Ukraine.

The center of the summit is a short and concise declaration of final declaration that aims to avoid disputes about the choice of words and formal a new plan to increase the annual defense spending on the number of 5% of GDP required by Trump. (Trump, however, told reporters on Friday that the United States should not achieve this target value.)

Ukrainian president at the summit

The Ukrainian President Wolodymyr Selenskyj will take part in a dinner in front of the summit on Tuesday evening, to which Trump is also expected. However, the Ukrainian leader will not take part in the one-day summit on Wednesday, which underlines the failed ambitions of his country to become a NATO member-a result that Trump has excluded.

tensions between Trump and European executives

had previously tried to signal the differences between Trump and European managers through Ukraine to hinder NATO's efforts to signal a uniform front against Russian President Vladimir Putin. Trump seems to be hesitant to impose new sanctions against Moscow, even while his peace efforts have stalled; So far he has not approved new military aid for Ukraine.

At the weekend, European officials had feared privately that Trump could cancel his trip to the NATO summit for fear that he would see it as an unnecessary exercise that could distract him from the consultations in the Middle East in Washington.

Trump's single -handed

WEITE HAUS employees had also weighed whether they should continue to participate, given the conflicts in the Middle East. But on Monday, after it appeared that both Israel and Iran had agreed to a ceasefire, the president decided to go and brought the freshly mediated agreement after an extraordinary day full of diplomacy in the White House.

In the past, a US President who has just carried out a great military offensive and then initiated a break from fighting would have enjoyed an opportunity to personally speak to his European colleagues and form coalitions.

But Trump's approach looks less cooperative and more according to the motto "solo self". Even before the air strikes were approved, Trump rejected the European efforts to find a diplomatic solution to the conflict.

Trump's skepticism compared to multilateral organizations

"Iran does not want to talk to Europe, they want to speak to us," Trump said on Friday before the air raids. "Europe will not be able to help." A few days earlier, he had left the G7 summit in Canada prematurely instead of strategically advising on Iran in the mountain meeting with the leaders.

The lonely approach of the president does not surprisingly come to the European leaders, who felt pushed out in the preparations for the US attacks. Trump made it clear at the weekend that he only considered the United States to intervene, and stated: "Only American weapons could do what was done."

Trump looks at multilateral organizations such as the G7 and NATO skeptically and believes that direct interactions between the countries are a more fertile approach in world politics.

He has already dismissed NATO as an attempt to deduct resources from the United States to protect nations on the other side of the ocean. At a NATO summit in 2018, he left the other leaders shaken when he said in a closed session that he would consider "his own way" if they did not significantly increase their defense spending.

Trump's loud calls to increase defense spending among NATO members already have an effect. More countries now meet the requirements of the alliance than at the time when he came into office in 2017. Nevertheless, he still insists that it is not enough, especially since the war rages in Ukraine.

Currently, however, the recent tensions in the Middle East could push the war that takes place in Europe.
