Trump made an angry start to the week displaying his frustration at Israel.

On Tuesday he headed to NATO to secure billions of spending for the next 10 years.

On Wednesday he declared a ceasefire between Iran and Israel, amidst backlash that US strikes were ineffective on Irans nuclear facility.

At the NATO summit in The Hague, Secretary-General Mark Rutte referred to President Donald Trump as “daddy” whilst praising him for intervening in the Iran–Israel ceasefire and driving a historic agreement for members to boost defence spending to 5 % of GDP by 2035.

“New intelligence” says US bombing of Iran did severe damage to Iran’s nuclear sites despite the leaked report from the US intelligence.

Thursday’s newspaper front pages continue their coverage of the Labour MP rebellion as the prime minister appears to be backing down, at least partially, over the highly controversial Bill.

There are several stories focused on Donald Trump dominating the UK front pages with coverage of the Nato summit. The US president is jubilant over the news that Nato members have agreed to spend 5% of GDP on defence and security. He’s also basking in newfound glory: being labelled ‘daddy’ by the NATO chief Mark Rutte. The US government and media are lapping it up. 

The week so far has been dominated by the Israel-Iran conflict with a shaky ceasefire currently in place. Donald Trump’s remarkable outburst on TV sent shockwaves around the globe, as a leaked US intelligence report suggests the US bombing of Iran did little damage to Iran’s nuclear efforts – Trump denies this.

The NATO summit is currently underway with members committing to spending 5% of GDP and signing security deals with each other amid an increasingly unstable world.

President Trump hailed the US bombing of Iran’s nuclear sites a success, a US Defence Intelligence Agency report counters that the attacks only set Iran’s programme back by a few months, not obliterate it.

An early U.S. Defence Intelligence Agency assessment, according to American media CNN, indicates the weekend strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites, including Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan, failed to destroy the core nuclear infrastructure.
