President Donald Trump is set to take the main stage on the second day of the NATO Summit in The Hague, Netherlands offering a surprisingly cordial tone toward the alliance he has long criticized.The president is scheduled to meet with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte and other world leaders before holding a press conference.Trump also said he will "probably" greet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who is attending the summit amid his ongoing push for Ukraine to join NATO.In text messages shared by Trump, Rutte congratulated him for "making Europe pay in a big way" through a new 5% defense spending target and for brokering an end to the recent conflict between Israel and Iran.TRUMP HEADS TO NATO SUMMIT AS EUROPE AGREES TO HEED HIS DEFENSE SPENDING DEMANDS"Congratulations and thank you for your decisive action on Iran. That was truly extraordinary, and something no one else dared to do," Rutte wrote as Trump flew toward the summit. "It makes us all safer."Israel and Iran entered into a U.S.-brokered ceasefire on Tuesday that almost fell apart though Israel called off its counterattack at Trump's urging."You are flying into another big success in The Hague this evening," Rutte added, referencing the new agreement for NATO members to increase defense spending to 5% of GDP.NATO allies first agreed in 2006 to spend 2% of GDP on defense a goal many failed to meet for years. Now, after Trumps repeated calls for Europe to "pull its weight," the alliance has approved a more ambitious 5% target, with an exception for Spain, which has long struggled to meet even the original benchmark.The new figure breaks down into 3.5% for core defense spending, and 1.5% for related infrastructure, including cyberwarfare and intelligence. NATO ambassadors agreed on the compromise text Sunday.WHAT TO EXPECT IN THE UPCOMING NATO SUMMIT: TRUMP, SPENDING, UKRAINE, IRANFor most allies, the target marks a significant leap. Poland currently leads all member states with 4.1% of GDP going toward defense. The U.S. stands at 3.4%.Trump said he doesnt believe the U.S. needs to reach the full 5% threshold a position backed by Rutte."The United States is already spending almost 3.5% on core defense, and no doubt they are close to spending the 1.5% on defense-related items," Rutte said. "Countries like Estonia and Poland are very close. For many others, it will still be a long road ahead, but its really important that we do this."He also called on defense industries "on both sides of the Atlantic" to ramp up production."It is simply unthinkable that Russia, with an economy 25 times smaller than NATOs, should be able to outproduce and outgun us," Rutte said Tuesday. He urged Europe: "Make your defenses so strong that no one dares to attack you."Despite the progress, Trump cast fresh doubt on whether the U.S. would abide by NATOs cornerstone mutual defense clause Article 5 which obligates members to defend one another in the event of an attack."It depends on your definition," Trump said when asked if he would honor the commitment. "Theres numerous definitions of Article 5, you know that, right? But I'm committed to being their friends. I've become friends with many of those leaders, and I'm committed to helping them."Still, U.S. Ambassador to NATO Matthew Whitaker sought to reassure allies, telling reporters, "The United States isnt going anywhere."Rutte echoed that message, telling partners to "stop worrying so much" and focus on strengthening their own defenses.

It was a manic-depressive episode that unfolded in just half a day.President Trump was in a celebratory mood late Monday when he announced that Israel and Iran had agreed to a ceasefire within 24 hoursa development that, lets face it, few thought was possible."CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYONE!" he posted.This, he proclaimed, would mark "an Official END to THE 12 DAY WAR" and "will be saluted by the World. During each CEASEFIRE, the other side will remain PEACEFUL and RESPECTFUL."He even closed with this: "God bless Israel, God bless Iran, God bless the Middle East, God bless the United States of America, and GOD BLESS THE WORLD!"TRUMPS BIG ACHIEVEMENT IN BOMBING IRAN, STILL SLAMMED BY CRITICS AS HE SUGGESTS REGIME CHANGEWell, that was then. By early yesterday morning, Trump was furious. There were violations of the shaky ceasefire by both sides, with an Iranian missile killing at least four Israelis in an apartment building. But Trump was particularly angry with the bigger barrage by Israel, as if he had been betrayed, demanding that Bibi Netanyahu and his leaders "cool down."Trump dropped an F-bomb on both countries, saying they "dont know what the f--- theyre doing."They had spoiled his scenario. An achievement that would have put him on the path for a Nobel Prize, given the hostile relations between the terror state and the Jewish state, which has fought several wars against Iranian proxies, Hamas and Hezbollah, since its founding in 1948. Unless the Norwegian academy is too liberal to ever bestow such an honor on a Trump. (A GOP congressman has just nominated him.)If youre feeling a little whiplash, youre not alone. After all, it was just a few days ago that Trump said hed decide "within two weeks" whether to launch an attack on Iran. That and other deceptions made it seem like nothing was imminent.Then there was the strange detour about "regime change" why not call it that? and saying the administration knew where Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was hiding.TRUMP HINTS AT REGIME CHANGE IN IRAN WHILE DECLARING 'MAKE IRAN GREAT AGAIN' AFTER US STRIKESBut that went against the company line that we were only at war with Irans nuclear program, pushed by JD Vance and others.That in turn was superseded by Trump announcing he had secured a ceasefire with Israel and Iran which was news to the vice president as he sat down with Foxs Bret Baier.The undeniable success of the mission has muted the criticism of many Democrats and liberals, who are constitutionally incapable of praising Trump while accusing him of violating the Constitution. (The issue of congressional consultation is legit, but we cant have 535 commanders-in-chief and Joe Biden and Barack Obama took similar unilateral actions.)AOC, as a leading example, has called for Trumps impeachment and the president has unloaded on her. The posting:"Stupid AOC, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, one of the dumbest people in Congress, is now calling for my Impeachment, despite the fact that the Crooked and Corrupt Democrats have already done that twice before. The reason for her rantings is all of the Victories that the U.S.A. has had under the Trump Administration. The Democrats arent used to WINNING, and she cant stand the concept of our Country being successful again. When we examine her Test Scores, we will find out that she is NOT qualified for office."Test scores? Not qualified? Ocasio-Cortez graduated from Boston University, where she double-majored in international relations and economics. And since when is there an educational standard for the presidency?Theres more: "What a disaster it was! AOC should be forced to take the Cognitive Test that I just completed at Walter Reed Medical Center"Alexandria should go back home to Queens, where I was also brought up, and straighten out her filthy, disgusting, crime ridden streets, in the District she represents, and which she never goes to anymore."AOC responded on X: "Mr. President, dont take your anger out on me Im just a silly girl"Take it out on whoever convinced you to betray the American people and our Constitution by illegally bombing Iran and dragging us into war. It only took you 5 months to break almost every promise you made."'I'M JUST A SILLY GIRL': AOC FIRES BACK AFTER TRUMP CALLS HER 'STUPID'This is all symbolic, as Ocasio-Cortez well knows, but plays well with her left-wing base. Yesterday, in fact, the House voted to table an impeachment resolution, with 128 Democrats more than half joining all Republicans in deep-sixing it.In the end, POTUS appeared to get the ceasefire back on track. Trump called Netanyahu and said that "our U.S. military did what we needed to do," a senior White House official told the Washington Post. "I wouldnt say the prime minister enthusiastically agreed, but he understood that President Trump is no longer going to be militarily involved in this conflict."Bibi soon announced that he would respect the ceasefire as long as the other side does, and Irans president made similar comments.Trump, before flying off to the NATO summit at The Hague, turned his anger on the press.He said of the underground nuclear enrichment site called Fordow: "I think its been completely demolished. I think the reason were here is because those pilots, those B-2 pilots, did an unbelievable job."And, you know, the fake news, like CNN in particular, theyre trying to say, Well, I agree that it was destroyed, but maybe not that destroyed."You know what theyre doing? Theyre really hurting great pilots that put their lives on the line! CNN is SCUM! And so is MSDNC."And frankly, the networks arent much better. Its all fake news, but they should not have done that.SUBSCRIBE TO HOWIE'S MEDIA BUZZMETER PODCAST, A RIFF ON THE DAY'S HOTTEST STORIES"Those pilots hit their targets. Those targets were obliterated, and the pilots should be given credit. Theyre not after the pilots. Theyre after me. They want to try and demean me."He also dragged in Brian Roberts, head of MSNBCs parent company, which Trump called "Con"cast.But his demand that the two networks apologize to the pilots doesnt hold water. They were brave regardless of the impact of their 30,000-pound payloads. All CNN and MSNBC did was air stories questioning the level of damage, particularly at Fordow.Trumps contention was further undermined by this New York Times exclusive:"A preliminary classified U.S. report says the American bombing of Irans nuclear sites sealed off the entrances to two of the facilities but did not collapse their underground buildings, according to officials familiar with the findings."The early findings conclude that the strikes over the weekend set back Irans nuclear program by only a few months, the officials said.That, my friends, is the fog of war.

A video has now gone viral showing a landscaper in Santa Ana appearing to be panicking and swinging a weed whacker before being tackled by CBP officers.The immigration enforcement officers in the video can be seen appearing to tackle and strike Narciso Barranco, a husband and father of three sons who are United States Marines, while he was doing his landscaping job outside an IHOP on Edinger and Ritchey in Santa Ana, CA.The video is sparking outrage as questions are being raised about the alleged use of force by agents and whether Barranco, who is undocumented, was allegedly trying to mow down officers attempting to detain him or simply trying to run away.FAMILY OF MARINE VETERAN ALLEGEDLY SHOT BY ILLEGAL MIGRANT SLAMS DEM DA FOR 'SOFT'-ON-CRIME APPROACHSanta Ana Mayor Valerie Amezcua posted her reaction video on Instagram after seeing what she described as the "horrendous video.""Now, this gentleman is being arrested by ICE agents and all I have to tell you is that I am deeply upset the way they handled our community. The way they are handling our community. This arrest looked so unprofessional and just wrong in so many ways. They are not here to protect us and serve these agents right here are here to hurt us," Amezcua said.The Department of Homeland Security has accused the media of misportraying the incident, writing on X that the man was attempting to run away from law enforcement and allegedly began to swing the weed whacker directly at a border patrol agent's face.FEDERAL AGENTS CAPTURE ALIEN ACCUSED OF RAPE, ASSAULT WHILE LA POLITICIANS CONDEMN ICE OPERATIONS"He ASSAULTED federal law enforcement with a WEED WHACKER. Perhaps the mainstream media would like our officers to stand there and be mowed down instead of defending themselves? What a completely slanted portrayal of what actually happened," the post stated.In a statement to FOX 11, DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin claims they took the appropriate steps."The agents took appropriate action and following their training to use the minimum amount of force necessary to resolve the situation in a manner that prioritizes the safety of the public and our officers," the statement read.However, Immigration Council senior fellowAaron Reichlin-Melnick said he disagreed about what the video supposedly depicts."The video shows him vaguely waving a weed whacker at someone far outside his reach, as he runs away from people he says didn't identify themselves or even say anything as they ran at him. That is not assault under any definition of the term. And it doesn't merit BEING BEATEN," Reichlin-Melnick responded in a repost of the video.A GoFundMe set up by Jacqueline Vasquez says the way immigration officials handled Barranco was "disgusting."CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP"He is a good, hard working man. He has raised his family here and has established himself here. What we ALL saw today was disgusting and heart wrenching. Time after time we are seeing stories like this one," it stated.According to the page, Barranco had gone over 24 hours without medical attention and was still wearing the bloody clothes he was detained in.It also states he is in a cell with about 70 people and only receives water once a day.Fox News Digital has reached out to Jacqueline Vasquez for comment.

A Los Angeles man who armed himself and took to the streets in 1992 to protect a local business during the height of the Rodney King unrest says today's rioters in the city are astroturfed for political purposes.Tony Moon, 53, is what is now known as a "rooftop Korean."Thirty-three years ago, the Korean-American, then 19, was asked to join a spontaneous movement alongside other Korean-Americans who armed themselves to protect their lives and property from being destroyed by violent rioters who were upset over the verdict in a trial against officers who beat Rodney King during a traffic stop.PHOTOS: SEE THE ANTI-TRUMP VIOLENCE THAT HAS UNFOLDED ON LA'S STREETS ACROSS THE LAST WEEKThe officers were acquitted on charges of assault and excessive force, plunging the city into tumult as rioters attempted to burn down Los Angeles, causing 63 deaths and more than 2,000 injuries, according to the Los Angeles Times.Determined to protect their livelihoods, "rooftop Koreans" took to the streets and to the rooftops of their own businesses to deter rioters from causing trouble in their neighborhoods."When the riots occurred, it wasn't anything that anyone foresaw obviously, but we were well aware of Rodney King and the verdict that was coming down," Moon told Fox News Digital. "And when that occurred is when everything kind of popped off. The reason why I went out was because a close and good friend of mine, his older brother had a stereo shop that was on the outskirts of near Koreatown."RODNEY KING RIOTS OFFICER SAYS LA MAYOR ACTED TOO LATE AS ANTI-ICE VIOLENCE ENGULFS CITYDuring the attack, Radio Korea became a go-to source of information for the Korean-American communities, alerting them to potential threats."He called me Thursday evening after the radio announcement asking for volunteers to come to the community, to defend the community," Moon said. "And he told me that his brother's store might be threatened from the fires and the looting that was slowly traveling up north from the south, like South Central and South LA."Moon described a tense atmosphere, which he said had been building between the Black and Korean communities in the city since the fatal shooting of a Black girl by a Korean shop owner the year prior.The civil unrest at that time, Moon said, was organic."The sentiment was much different then than it is now," he said. "Now it's all manufactured. And not only that, but there's no true grassroots support from any of the communities. You know, it's what I would say [is] part two of BLM/Antifa from 2020 that's being carried over.""But it doesn't have the same traction and support that it did back in 2020 with defunding the police, [and with] Black Lives Matter," he continued. "I don't see that, and what they're looking for is, they're looking for someone to martyr. They're looking for a death. They're looking for the next George Floyd."CHUCK DEVORE: TRUMP MOVES FAST TO SAVE LA FROM A 1992 REPEATMoon emphasized his support for peaceful protest, but said that when damaging property, vandalization and looting occur, those activities cross the line.He also advised Angelenos who feel unsafe due to violent crime to do what he and others in the Korean-American community did more than three decades ago: arm themselves."If it's a riot or if there's any sort of mayhem, social chaos going on in your neighborhood, invest in firearms," he said. "I mean, support the Second Amendment. Buy a gun, buy a rifle. I mean, the most easiest weapon to shoot is a shotgun. So invest in something like that and learn how to shoot it and be proficient with it, so that way it becomes part of your defense, whether it's for your home or your business."Earlier this month riots plagued Los Angeles, a so-called sanctuary city, since a series of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) sweeps targeting criminal illegal immigrants.Federal law enforcement and police clashed with rioters in the city's streets, while those agitators burned cars, looted businesses, took over streets and graffitied buildings in the heart of downtown Los Angeles with anti-ICE and anti-Trump messaging.The city's mayor, Karen Bass, has blamed President Donald Trump for causing the unrest by deploying National Guard troops and U.S. Marines to protect federal property, and Gov. Gavin Newsom sued the Trump administration for the move.The Trump administration ordered 2,000 more members of the National Guard to the city last week, and ICE will continue conducting operations in the city.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markles two young children wont have royal roles once Prince William becomes king.The claim is being made by several royal experts who noted that the Prince of Wales has been preparing for his future role as monarch while supporting his father, King Charles, who has cancer."Its utterly absurd for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to believe their children might one day choose to become working royals," Kinsey Schofield, host of the To Di for Daily podcast, told Fox News Digital.PRINCE HARRY REMAINS STUCK IN THE PAST WHILE MEGHAN MARKLE BUILDS HOLLYWOOD EMPIRE: EXPERTS"That kind of entitlement isnt just wishful thinking it borders on delusion," she claimed. "These are American children whove been raised oceans away from the monarchy, with no exposure to the customs, culture, or continuity that define royal life.""Harry closed that door himself the moment he boarded Tyler Perrys private jet and handed over his life story to a ghostwriter for Spare," Schofield added.Schofields statements came shortly after it was suggested in recent reports that Harry, 40, wanted to keep HRH titles for his children or His and Her Royal Highness so that they can decide for themselves whether they want to be working royals when they grow up.However, The Times U.K. reported that "under the next reign, roles for Archie and Lili as working royals are unlikely."Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, are raising their children, Prince Archie, 6, and Princess Lilibet, 4, in California. Fox News Digital reached out to Kensington Palace and Archewell, which handles the offices for the duke and duchess, for comment.WATCH: PRINCE HARRY, PRINCE WILLIAM NEED AN INTERVENTION TO END FEUD: EXPERT"PrinceWilliam will not be thinking of giving the Sussex children formal future royal roles - ludicrous!" British broadcaster and photographer Helena Chard told Fox News Digital."The children are being raised in America and, as I understand, do not have any understanding of the British royal family," she explained."They will not have received the guidance to fit into royal life and royal expectations should not even be a thought And why would Harry and Meghan want this for their children anyway? They stepped down as working royals, painted the British royal family in the most aberrantlight, and ran as far away fromthem as possible!"Royal experts previously told Fox News Digital that Harry and William are not on speaking terms. Their relationship deteriorated following the Duke and Duchess of Sussexs decision to step back as senior royals in 2020 and move to California.Since their royal exit, the couple has aired their grievances in interviews and documentaries. Harrys explosive 2023 memoir "Spare," featuring embarrassing details about the House of Windsor, only made things worse.In May, Harry told the BBC that he wanted to reconcile with his family but his father, 76, wouldnt speak to him. According to The Times, Harrys pleas "did little to thaw the family freeze."CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTERSources told the outlet that Williams attitude towards his brother had shifted significantly to "indifference.""Where he once raged at his brothers outbursts after the publication ofSpare, a friend told me that though he was determined not to publicly respond even though inside hes burning the anger has subsided to indifference," wrote royal editor Roya Nikkhah."A friend tells me: What has struck me the most recently is that he just doesnt mention it at all. It used to be that the family stuff was taking up a lot of space in his head, it was a very close relationship and he was very upset. But hes not letting it get to him at all anymore. It is a change. Its sad, but its a much healthier space for him to be at," she shared.Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams pointed out to Fox News Digital that the deep rift between the royals hasnt been caused by Archie and Lili it stems from the battling brothers."It may or may not resolve itself," Fitzwilliams warned. "It would be simple for the HRH to be removed by the sovereign. However, they were entitled to it automatically as children of the sons of the monarch, because of the 1917 letters patent of George V, contrary to what the Sussexes claimed in their infamous Oprah interview. It is unclear what William will do when he becomes king, but he will be well aware of the probable effect and vast, often adverse publicity if he did this."British royals expert Hilary Fordwich claimed to Fox News Digital that Harry and Williams relationship or lack of it reached a point of no return following the publication of "Spare."LIKE WHAT YOURE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWS"Prince Harry has consistently exacerbated the rift he created after he departed from royal life with his tell-all whingefest Spare," which was unbefitting as a member of the family," Fordwich explained."Growing up together, both Prince William and Prince Harry knew how treasured trust is - they trusted each other. But Prince Harry has deliberately destroyed that trust, which can never be regained.""Therefore, it would be beyond hypocritical for the Sussexes, who have rejected royal duties, to expect their children who have zero knowledge of royal responsibilities to ever even be able to assume any roles," Fordwich continued. "They declared royal life unbearable and their undignified conduct has confirmed how ill-fitted either of them would be back in any royal roles."While Harry continues to look back, William is said to be moving forward. The heir to the British throne, 43, is said to have "international ambitions" where he can connect with world leaders, as well as "supercharge" his philanthropy alongside his wife Kate Middleton."Prince William is taking a healthy approach by not even addressing nor wasting time considering his wayward brother," Fordwich claimed. "He is dedicated to his lovely, loyal family and royal duties. He doesnt see any point in even discussing his brother as he isnt in control of his despicable actions. He sees his time better focused on where he can make a difference for his family, his people and his role in his nations history."And William continues to prioritize his family."Hes always been fiercely protective of them and will be fiercely protective of them in the future," a friend told the outlet. And regardless of "criticism from some quarters," William and Kate are sticking to their guns. The Princess of Wales, 43, has slowly returned to public duties after announcing she was cancer-free this year."I dont think hes ever doubted [public support], but they dont take it for granted and always want to make sure they express gratitude whenever they have the opportunity," the pal claimed.Schofield said that Williams reported decision not to include Archie and Lilibet isnt just about putting his foot down as he thinks about the monarchys future."Any attempt to bring Harry and Meghans children into the royal fold would raise eyebrows across the palace not just among senior royals, but among seasoned courtiers," Schofield explained. "People who understand that royal service isnt a vibe its a vocation, built on discipline, education, and loyalty.""The idea that proximity to the children could somehow smooth the way for Harry and Meghan to re-enter the royal scene? Preposterous," she claimed. "Royal protocol isnt a revolving door.""To imagine that children with no connection to the institution culturally, geographically, or personally could just pop in for a royal procession is pure fantasy," Schofield claimed. "Its a glimpse into how wildly out of touch Harry and Meghan have become. They dont respect the institution, its legacy, or the responsibility it requires but they still want access. Its not just ludicrous. Its laughable."Chard agreed.PRINCE HARRY AND MEGHAN MARKLE 'FEARED' KING CHARLES DELAYED THEIR KIDS' PASSPORTS OVER ROYAL TITLES: REPORT"The Sussex children will always be family. However, the likelihood that they will ever carve out a formal BritishRoyal role is unthinkable," she said. "Prince William has moved on from the Sussex family tribulations to protect his family'ssanity. Sadly, at this point, the Sussexes areirrelevantto Prince William."
