Trump says at Ankara summit, 'The United States will remain in the alliance'

President Donald Trump 2026 year 7 month 8 day said at the Ankara summit that the United States wants to remain in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). The remark was made directly at the meeting.

Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte said at the same meeting that the alliance had reunited. He made remarks dismissing the dispute between Trump and the allies.

The leaders made public remarks while carrying out the meeting schedule in Ankara. Immediately after the meeting, the atmosphere appeared to have settled in a relatively conciliatory and calming direction.

Trump's remarks reportedly came during a setting that included both private talks among the leaders and public statements. The wording of any specific agreement or details of policy changes were not disclosed.

An official joint statement summarizing the outcome of the talks has not yet been quoted in reports. The representatives of the countries reportedly made remarks limited to confirming the direction of future cooperation.

If additional remarks or documents related to the Ankara summit are released, their contents could be reflected in subsequent policy and military cooperation schedules. For now, developments have centered mainly on remarks by the key parties.
