When President Donald Trump travels here Tuesday for a consequential summit of NATO leaders, he’ll arrive toting a freshly brokered ceasefire he hopes can prove to his skeptics — including at the conference — that he is a peacemaker at heart. The arrangement between Israel and Iran came after an intensive afternoon of diplomacy at the White House, but hours after it was set to take effect, Israel accused Iran of firing several missiles and vowed to respond “with force.” Tehran denied violating the truce. Trump hopes the ceasefire — if it holds — will act as vindication for the US strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities, which drew a mixed response from leaders here in Europe, who feared becoming embroiled in a wider war. In the end, the deal Trump announced Monday was brokered with the help of Qatar, and appeared to leave the Europeans on the sidelines. White House officials said the diplomatic arrangement would not have been possible had Trump not ordered the bombing run over the weekend. “Congratulations to everyone!” Trump posted on his Truth Social platform Monday evening as he revealed the parameters of what he called the end of the “12 Day War.” At least in Trump’s mind, the deal could bolster his stature as a global deal maker at a moment when his ability to strike peace agreements is being tested. As he steps back onto the world stage, the president appears eager to demonstrate his ability to bring warring parties to the table — even if he hasn’t yet been able to resolve the European conflict in the background of this week’s gathering.
