Overview

  • Trump secured a ceasefire between Israel and Iran after a day of White House diplomacy with Qatar’s mediation, but both sides accuse each other of violating the truce.
  • NATO allies in The Hague are set to endorse a 5% of GDP defense spending target, with Spain negotiating an exemption from the commitment.
  • Over the weekend, U.S. forces struck three Iranian nuclear sites at Trump’s direction to bolster leverage ahead of truce talks.
  • Lawmakers prepare to vote on a war powers resolution aimed at limiting U.S. military actions against Iran that lack congressional authorization.
  • Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will attend a pre-summit dinner but sit out Wednesday’s NATO session, highlighting stalled prospects for Ukraine’s alliance bid.
