President Trump says the U.S. ceasefire may be over with Iran at the conclusion of the
NATO summit in Ankara Turkey today.
“Trump threatened retaliatory U.S. strikes against Iran.”
He was flanked by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, defense Secretary Pete Hexeth, and Treasury Secretary Scott Besant. Trump arrived at the summit with grievances about the U.S.'s NATO allies, such as their resistance to be all in with the U.S. on the war with Iran. And protests, they were not spending enough on alliance defense.
The President seemed to strike a different tone this afternoon. "There was tremendous unity in that room. And I urge all nations to accelerate their plans to get the benchmark as quickly as possible. The benchmark is going to be at 5% number. This is a number it should have been for years."
Trump says U.S. invested a trillion dollars on defense that would ask for one-and-a-half trillion in the next fiscal year. During a joint appearance with Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky earlier in Ankara Trump said, "He would give Ukraine the license to build missiles for patriot-air defense systems," as Russia, stepped up ballistic strikes on the Ukrainian capital.
From Kiev, here's NPR's Joanna Kisses. Ukraine's military uses U.S. made patriots' systems to intercept ballistics, but has run low on the air defense missiles for these systems. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has pushed for weeks for the license to produce these
missiles and Trump finally agreed in Ankara.
“"We're going to give a license to you to make it, it's just pretty cool, right?”
This way you can't complain that we're not giving them enough, it's they're making you so." Trump says the U.S. has prepared to sign a drone deal with Ukraine. After the meetings, Zelensky posted on social media that Ukraine and the U.S. can accomplish a lot together.

The Ferris Fire has grown nearly 60,000 acres and forced rural residents to evacuate overnight, or from Colorado Public Radio's Tennessee. The Ferris Fire is burning through mostly public land, high desert and rugged canyons
in the four corners area. In southwest Colorado, the gold mountain fire is still largely uncontained outside your ray, though the small alpine community has been spared and remains open. Further east of the Aspen acres fire outside of Pueblo has grown into one of the largest wildfires in Colorado history, burning hundreds of structures.
At last month, three federal firefighters died after being trapped by a blaze near the Utah border. Governor Jared Polis has issued multiple disaster declarations. For MPH News, I'm Stena Sieg in Grand Junction, Colorado. It's NPR News.
The International Monetary Fund is projecting slower global economic growth of 3% expansion this year. With IMF sites, the surge in energy prices linked to the US's real war with Iran and disruptions to oil shipments in the state of harm moves. The blue crab population on Maryland's Chesapeake Bay has been falling while the average
age of a crabber has been rising. NPR's Frank Langford would spoke with some young crabbers to talk about the future of their industry. Tony is 23, he's been crabbing commercially for nearly a decade. To maximize profits in a high overhead business, Tony sells directly to customers through
Facebook. His colleague, Luke McFadden, 30, has become a social media star explaining crabbing to an audience of more than 3 million. Some fans drive for hours to meet him at his crab stand. It's real life storytelling that is playing out in real time.
It's crazy to me that all these people watch and people will come from wherever.
“As McFadden says, to make it as a crabber these days, you have to adapt.”
