Trump holds press conference following NATO summit, watch live on YouTube.

President Donald Trump is set to hold a press conference following the NATO summit in the Netherlands, an event that will be broadcast live on YouTube. The summit, scheduled for June 25-26, is expected to address a new defense spending commitment, with NATO allies aiming to increase their contributions to 5% of their gross domestic product by 2035, up from the current 2% [1].

Trump's appearance comes after a ceasefire between Israel and Iran, which was brokered by the United States. The ceasefire was announced following U.S. airstrikes on key Iranian nuclear facilities, which Trump claims destroyed Iran's ability to build nuclear weapons [1]. However, an early classified U.S. intelligence assessment indicated that the strikes caused only limited damage, setting Tehran's nuclear program back "a few months" [1].

During the summit, Trump has expressed some ambivalence towards Article 5, the mutual defense clause in the NATO treaty, which states that an attack on one member is considered an attack on all. This has raised concerns among European allies about Trump's commitment to their defense [1].

The press conference, scheduled for June 25, will provide an opportunity for Trump to address these issues and provide updates on the U.S. role in the NATO alliance and the ongoing ceasefire with Iran. The live broadcast on YouTube will allow viewers to follow the event in real-time [2].
