Trump changes his tune on NATO after Turkey summit: ‘Tremendous love in that room’

  • U.S. President Donald Trump reported "tremendous unity" at the NATO summit in Turkey , labeling the gathering of world leaders “very successful.”
  • After months of criticizing NATO allies , the president changed his tune Wednesday, saying “there was tremendous love in that room.”
  • “It's too bad the press couldn't have seen what we were doing in that room, because it was very smart people, and they have a lot of good in their heart, not evil. Good and they're doing a great job for their country, the world is doing well,” he said. “They like the job I'm doing. They said... 'Sir, we love you.' There was tremendous unity in that room."
  • Trump also said he did not think a full-fledged conflict with Iran would erupt in ⁠the wake ​of military ⁠strikes from both sides.
  • “I don't think it's going ⁠to start again. I ​think ⁠it's going to go ‌very quickly. They hit a couple of ships, and ‌so we hit them much ‌harder,” he told reporters in Ankara. “Anything that ⁠happens is going to be over very quickly ... and will only make it safer, including for oil.”
