- Trump arrives at Tuesday's NATO summit in Ankara still furious at allies who refused to help him fight Iran, and is determined to make sure they know it, per the source.
- Trump has openly questioned for years whether America's closest allies are 'strong enough, loyal enough or useful enough,' framing the Ankara gathering around that longstanding grievance.
Why it matters: The summit becomes a stage for Trump to press allies on a personal Iran grievance rather than coordinate on the defense and security decisions facing the 32-member alliance, potentially overshadowing substantive agenda items with loyalty demands.
