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.

EXPLAINER: 5 Things to Know About Ukraine and Patriot Missiles
Ukraine urgently needs PAC-3 Patriot interceptors, the only system in its arsenal capable of stopping Russian Iskander-M ballistic missiles, which carry half-ton warheads. By early July 2026, Ukraine’s PAC-3 stocks were reportedly exhausted, allowing Russia to launch major strikes involving 23-24 ballistic missiles and Zircon missiles with no intercepts. US policy shifts and production limits — Lockheed Martin makes only around 500-600 PAC-3 missiles per year — have worsened the shortage, contributing to a record civilian toll in June. While US President Donald Trump has signaled that Ukraine may be allowed to produce Patriot interceptors under license, the timeline remains uncertain. Meanwhile, Ukraine’s Fire Point is developing a cheaper domestic interceptor, Freya, with the first test missiles expected by the end of 2026. A small resupply of fewer than 20 PAC-3 interceptors is reportedly expected from allies, including Poland.

Ukrainian attacks on Russian oil refineries have triggered a fuel crisis now being addressed at the highest levels in Moscow. Trump has also announced the transfer of Patriot missile technology to Kyiv, alongside a NATO assistance package worth €140 billion.
