NATO Chief Tells Trump He Is Already A Winner Hours Before His Arrival At SummitTHE HAGUE, Netherlands If European leaders are miffed at President Donald Trumps attacks on Iran, do not expect to see any public criticism at least until the close of the NATO summit Wednesday when his plane is headed safely back across the Atlantic.
Trump may have embarrassed European leaders by claiming Iran was not interested in speaking to them and only wanted to speak to Trump about the same time as Iranian officials were actually meeting with European negotiators in Geneva.
He may have irritated allies by striking Irans nuclear facilities over the weekend without consulting them and giving them the briefest of notice before bombs started falling.
But right now, the focus of the other 31 members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization is to get through this weeks abbreviated annual summit with minimal disruption from the notoriously anti-NATO American president, participants and observers at the meeting said.

After all, the German Chancellor is taller, and Macron and Meloni are going to laugh and roll their eyes at him, and that'll be it.
