At the Nato summit in Turkey, Secretary General Mark Rutte maintained that there is "unity" among the alliance's member nations, but the BBC's Frank Gardner pressed him on whether that claim holds up while US President Donald Trump continues to level criticism at Nato. The exchange highlights persistent tensions within the alliance over Washington's commitment, an issue that matters given Nato's central role in supporting Ukraine and coordinating Western security policy.

World leaders at the conference discussed a range of issues, including Russia's war in Ukraine and the conflict in the Middle East. However, Trump's ongoing criticism of the alliance — described by Gardner as "verbal grenades" — loomed over proceedings, raising questions about how cohesive Nato really is behind its public message of solidarity.
