## Resource

As the NATO summit in Ankara draws to a close today, it wouldn't be a Donald Trump summit without a few shocks. The ceasefire between the US and Iran has collapsed, and Trump has branded the Iranians 'scum'. But what does this mean for NATO and the rest of the world? Freddy Gray and Owen Matthews discuss what the end of the US-Iran ceasefire means for Trump's presidency, why the agreement broke down so quickly, and what NATO's reluctance to provide military support to the US could mean for the wider conflict. Freddy Gray is joined by The Spectator 's Owen Matthews, an expert on Russia, Ukraine and Turkey, to analyse the latest developments.
