During the NATO summit, Turkish President Erdoğan and French President Macron shared another tense and awkward moment. When Macron stood in front of the Turkish flag, Erdoğan subtly but firmly pulled him to his right side—causing visible discomfort. This follows a previous viral incident in Tirana where Erdoğan grabbed Macron’s finger during a handshake. Netizens are calling it a quiet power move from Erdoğan, adding to Macron’s recent streak of bizarre public moments—including a face-shove from his wife in Vietnam. Their uneasy diplomacy continues to stir global curiosity.

Trump has stunned observers by privately telling Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that he wants to help Ukraine, despite recently pushing for the U.S. to freeze critical weapons deliveries. The contradictory moves have fueled speculation that Trump is leveraging military aid to gain influence over both Kyiv and Moscow ahead of the U.S. election. While Trump publicly blames Zelensky for prolonging the war, sources say he has quietly assured the Ukrainian leader of potential support if certain “conditions” are met.

US President Donald Trump denies reports that military aid to Ukraine has completely stopped but signals a major shift in US policy prioritizing America’s own defense stockpiles. As critical weapons deliveries face delays, Ukraine’s Zelensky struggles with escalating battlefield losses. This shift raises serious questions about the future of Western support in the ongoing conflict and what it means for Ukraine’s fight against Russian aggression.
