Summary
The U.S. targets Iran with fresh airstrikes and revokes its license to sell crude oil after attacks tankers in the Strait of Hormuz. In response, Iran fires missiles at U.S. bases in Bahrain and Kuwait. We are live at the NATO summit in Ankara where President Trump again raises the Greenland question and threatens to pull all troops out of Europe over allies’ defence spending. However, NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte tells CNBC Trump’s pressure on alliance members over funding has delivered big results. European leaders concur that spending into the bloc must be increased as the war in the Gulf has left the alliance on high alert while the Ukraine conflict nears a pivotal moment.
