Trump Hit With Immediate Snub on Overseas Trip

SAUL LOEB / AFP via Getty ImagesPresident Donald Trump has been hit with an immediate snub after arriving in Turkey for a NATO summit. He landed in the Turkish capital on Tuesday and was greeted with the news that the alliance had awarded a 4.5 billion contract to the Swedish defense firm Saab rather than to the U.S. planemaker Boeing. The alliance announced plans to buy up to 10 Saab GlobalEye surveillance aircraft to replace its aging Cold War-era Boeing AWACS planes. The move is an embarrassment for Trump, who has made buying American weapons a central demand of his NATO policy. Read more at The Daily Beast.
