US President Donald Trump answered questions from journalists aboard his aircraft while returning to the United States following his participation in the 36th NATO Summit of Heads of State and Government. During the briefing, the President addressed several critical geopolitical issues, including the current state of US-Iran relations and the outcomes of the summit.
According to the Operative Information Center-OMM, President Trump stated that the US has responded firmly to Iran's military provocations. He emphasized that the United States will respond to any aggression with significantly greater force, a stance he claimed was demonstrated during recent operations. While the US President asserted that Tehran is currently interested in reaching an agreement, he expressed skepticism regarding whether Iran would remain committed to its obligations.

He highlighted that relations with Turkey remain at a high level, noting that his meeting with President Recep Tayyip Erdogan was productive and resulted in the signing of successful trade agreements between the two nations. Furthermore, the US President expressed satisfaction with his meetings with Syrian President Ahmed Shara and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. He also commended European allies for their steps toward increasing defense spending and praised the strengthening of unity within the NATO alliance.
