President Trump is at the @NATO Summit and the White House is set to tout a big new military spending commitment by member nations. Part of my conversation with @lucyhockings on @cbsnews partner @BBCNews live from The Hague.

Zelenskyy shares photos from
The closed-press meeting with President Trump.

“We talked about the situation on the battlefield,” Zelenskyy says. “Putin is definitely not winning. I presented the President with the facts about what is really happening on the ground.”

This has been a very big concern of many in the West, and notably, many conservatives who are also conservationists. And there’s the concerns about who’d be buying the land. So, a notable decision here by @SenMikeLee to withdraw his long-sought sale of some federal lands.

Chiming in from vacation with a big THANK YOU to the congressional press corps for long hours during a hot holiday week. And a special shoutout to those reading the bill closely in order to better explain the real-world implications to viewers, readers and listeners eager to know much more about what the White House and Congress are preparing to pass.

Federal employees are under siege and uncertain about their futures like never before and one of their most passionate advocates is out the door due to yet another change at @washingtonpost. The Federal Diary was one of the longest-sustained columns or features of The Post. Joe and his predecessors defined service journalism. This reporter on his first beat at WaPo learned from Joe and still values those lessons.

When the Post subnoscription numbers plummet again, it’ll be because of decisions that compel journalists like Joe to go and leave readers even more poorly served.

Trump said, unprompted, that he is "not happy with President Putin at all."
"I'm disappointed, frankly, that President Putin hasn't stopped," Trump said.
I asked if he plans to send more weapons to Ukraine. He said yes.
"They have to be able to defend themselves," Trump said of Ukraine, during dinner with Netanyahu. "They're getting hit very hard now. They're getting hit very hard. We're going to have to have to send more weapons -- defensive weapons."

Notable moment tonight: Trump, unprompted, calls out Putin for prolonging the war…

INBOX: “President Donald J. Trump remains in exceptional health, exhibiting strong cardiovascular, pulmonary, neurological, and physical performance,” his physician says after “a scheduled follow-up evaluation today” that’s “part of his ongoing health maintenance plan and included advanced imaging, laboratory testing, and preventive health assessments conducted by a multidisciplinary team of specialists.”

I am deeply grateful and relieved that this day has come – for the last living 20 hostages who have been through unimaginable hell and are finally reunited with their families and loved ones, and for the civilians in Gaza who have experienced immeasurable loss and will finally get the chance to rebuild their lives.

The road to this deal was not easy. My Administration worked relentlessly to bring hostages home, get relief to Palestinian civilians, and end the war. I commend President Trump and his team for their work to get a renewed ceasefire deal over the finish line.

Now, with the backing of the United States and the world, the Middle East is on a path to peace that I hope endures and a future for Israelis and Palestinians alike with equal measures of peace, dignity, and safety.

BIDEN on Israel-Hamas deal: “I commend President Trump and his team for their work to get a renewed ceasefire deal over the finish line.”

President Trump is asked about the new restrictive Pentagon press policy during his lunch with Argentinian President Javier Malei. He doesn't rule out possibly moving the press out of the White House to "across the street."

This is a first...

The president says on Truth Social he’s currently speaking with Russian President Putin and both will have more to say later. Comes a day before Trump is scheduled to speak with Ukraine’s @ZelenskyyUa.
