00:00As a key NATO summit takes place in Turkey, the United States President Donald Trump has lashed out at his
00:06country's allies for failing to support the U.S. during its war in Iran.
00:10He also renewed claims on Greenland, calling European resistance to his stance a big problem, and demanded Washington cut trade
00:18ties with Spain.
00:19And with tensions peaking after an overnight flare-up between U.S. and Iranian forces, Trump declared the Iran ceasefire
00:27was over, while leaving the door open for more talks.
00:31That comment saw oil prices spike to the highest level in weeks, jumping more than 5 percent, and stock markets
00:37around the world drop.
00:39NATO Chief Mark Ritter, meanwhile, said the alliance was stronger than ever after the Ankara summit, with a huge sense
00:45of unity among leaders.
00:46He also said the allies reaffirmed NATO's unwavering support for Ukraine, and its determination to continue to ensure it gets
00:54what it needs.
00:56Trump has demanded that alliance members make good on a pledge to ramp up defense spending, as Washington takes a
01:02step back from Europe.
01:04Keen to avoid a new confrontation with the U.S. leader, NATO allies unveiled tens of billions of dollars in
01:10new arms contracts on Tuesday.
