President Donald Trump issues a strong warning to NATO allies, stating they face a "very bad future" if they don't assist the U.S. in securing the Strait of Hormuz against Iranian threats. U.S. Ambassador to NATO Matt Whitaker emphasizes Iran's continued threat to global trade and energy security.

NATO scrambled jets as Russia launched 68 missiles and 430 drones at Ukraine, killing five, while Trump rejected Putin's proposal over Iran's enriched uranium.

The leaders of Canada, Germany and Norway are urging Trump to rethink his suspendion of Russian oil sanctions. In comments to Euronews, German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius said he is "concerned" at the potential impact on Ukraine.

Democratic lawmakers have consistently criticized the administration for not laying out its goals in the war more clearly.
