Tracking Trump’s presidency Live:

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.

Israeli warplanes were prepared to retaliate against Iranian missile strikes, considering them a violation of a newly-established ceasefire.

A U.S.-brokered ceasefire between Israel and Iran was announced by Donald Trump after 12 days of intense conflict involving strikes on Iranian nuclear sites (Fordow, Natanz, Isfahan) and Iranian missile attacks, including one on a U.S. base in Qatar.

Donald Trump announced non-retaliation against Iran’s missile attack, framing US intervention as a preventive measure to avoid foreign wars, showcasing strategic success without American casualties.

A “complete and total ceasefire” between Israel and Iran has been announced by Donald Trump, set to begin shortly after his announcement on Truth Social.

Ramping up NATO members’ defence spending has gained momentum, supported by Germany and driven by the US administration’s objective to enhance military budgets across Europe.

The United States has launched attacks on three Iranian uranium enrichment sites, marking its entry into the ongoing Israel-Iran conflict.

NATO ambassadors from all 32 member states approved a new spending pledge to increase defence budgets to 5% of GDP by 2035, amid concerns over threats from Russia and China.

Donald Trump’s military actions against Iran risk escalating into a broader regional or global conflict, dependent largely on responses from Iran’s key allies, Russia and China.

Donald Trump is betting that US airstrikes have effectively destroyed Iranian nuclear sites, despite military officials suggesting full destruction is unlikely and that the strikes may only set back Iran’s programme.

Baroness Harriet Harman cautioned that Prime Minister Keir Starmer, whose political identity was shaped by opposition to Iraq, might ultimately permit U.S. use of UK-controlled bases, such as Diego Garcia or RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus, for strikes on Iran if President Trump requested it.

Harriet Harman suggested that Sir Keir Starmer might permit Donald Trump to use British military bases for strikes on Iran, despite his opposition to the Iraq War legacy.

U.S. President Donald Trump has dramatically escalated rhetoric amid the Israel–Iran war, calling for Iran’s “unconditional surrender” and warning Tehran civilians to evacuate.

The Israel–Iran conflict has escalated sharply after five days of Israeli airstrikes targeting Iran’s nuclear, military, and energy infrastructure, reportedly killing at least 224 Iranians and wounding around 1,400.

At the G7 summit in Canada, UK PM Keir Starmer and US President Donald Trump inked a bilateral trade deal covering the aerospace and automotive sectors.

Israeli airstrikes are entering their fifth day, after targeting military and nuclear sites across Iran—including Tehran—while simultaneously striking Iran’s oil and gas facilities and even its state broadcaster, which Tehran condemned as a “war crime”.

At the G7 summit in Canada, Prime Minister Keir Starmer and US President Donald Trump formally approved a UK‑US trade deal targeting aerospace and automotive sectors.

Analysts warn that Section 899 of the “One Big Beautiful Bill”—Donald Trump’s proposed retaliatory tax on foreign entities—could deter investment by imposing a tax starting at 5 %, rising to 20 %, on companies from countries that levy “unfair” taxes on US entities.
