NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte was asked about his "self-respect" when it comes to the U.S. president.

President Trump capped a NATO summit in Turkey meeting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and saying that the U.S. will give Ukraine a license to make Patriot air defense systems.

NATO chief Mark Rutte lavished praise on U.S. President Donald Trump during a fractious summit in Turkey this week.

The president's claim comes amid rising tensions between him and other world leaders.

President Donald Trump met with the leaders of Ukraine and Syria on Wednesday, but his declaration that the ceasefire with Iran was “over” dominated the meeting in Ankara, Turkey.

By Lili Bayer and Andrew Gray ANKARA, July 8 (Reuters) - NATO's European leaders aim to convince Donald Trump on Wednesday to re-commit to the military alliance at a summit in Ankara after the U.S. President revived disputes over the Iran war and Greenland and launched a new wave of strikes on Iran.

Trump says he was deliberately testing NATO allies on Greenland and Iran, declaring both efforts failed as tensions escalate at the Ankara summit.

The US president lashes out at fellow Nato member Spain, repeating an earlier threat to cut off trade relations.

The president embraced the alliance in a meeting Wednesday, extolling member nations’ defense spending and saying nothing about the Danish territory, officials said.
