Gold pistols as a gift and Rutte's servility: the most strident moments of the NATO summit

Everything Donald Trump touches becomes unpredictable and implausible. And this week's NATO summit in Ankara has been no exception. The meeting has been overshadowed by the outbursts and threats from the New York magnate to his allies, and the issues that truly matter to military understanding have been relegated to the background, such as the rearmament of Europe or military aid to Ukraine. Also prominent were the host of the meeting, Turkey's Recep Tayyip Erdogan, and Pedro Sánchez, who has been the preferred target of the President of the United States . The meeting has left a list of anecdotes that, although they may seem trivial, are symptomatic of the moment the Alliance is going through.
