At the NATO summit in Ankara, US President Donald Trump lashed out at allies, reiterated his interest in Greenland, criticized Spain, and referenced the US war in Iran.
He also labelled Spain a "terrible partner in NATO" and urged Washington to cut trade ties with Spain.
Trump linked his criticism to the ongoing US war in Iran, saying the fallout from that conflict threatened to overshadow the summit.

The reports did not include any immediate response from NATO officials or the allied countries mentioned.
The sources indicated that the fallout from the US war in Iran threatened to overshadow the gathering, suggesting Trump's comments could further distract from the summit's purpose.
