- Trump did 'an about-face on Ukraine and NATO' at the Turkey summit, per The Hill's headline
- Trump declared NATO 'failed two key tests' at the high-stakes Turkey summit and said he was 'not happy,' per Fox News
Why it matters: The headline contradiction is the story: Trump simultaneously embraced and criticized NATO at the same Turkey summit. Allies left parsing whether his reversal was a genuine policy turn or tactical positioning for separate Ukraine negotiations.
