Opa... While we are waiting for the press conference to begin one of the "journalist" tried to manifest something.
Didn't saw what sign said but the security guards quickly took him away!
It sounded like he shouted, "You are fools"
According to Finnish YLE, this was an American journalist.
He held a document in which the words "Nuclear weapon (something) treaty" could be read.

A good start

However Trump continues to savage Europe for not paying their bills, so a question for the "Donald":

HAVE you cleared your debts to China yet?

LOL:)
Putin gave Trump a football.

Trump said that the bad relations with Russia changed 4 hours ago!
Cold war is over said Putin.
And that the Daesh are eridicated.
Of course they commented about the Russian "collution".

During the press conference Putin gave a football to Trump and said that the ball is now with him (Trump gave it to Melania). Here's how the republican senator Lindsay Graham commented:

Finally, if it were me, I’d check the soccer ball for listening devices and never allow it in the White House.

I think that Putin and Trump have agreed on many issues.

Yep, Trump will dance to Putin's tune.

The End of NATO?
https://www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/trump-nato-russian-aggression-by-carl-bildt-2018-07
Prior to and during the NATO summit, there was much hand-wringing over member states’ military spending as a share of GDP. Each member is expected to increase its spending to 2% of GDP by 2024, but Trump seems to think that this already should have been done. And at the summit last week, he suddenly called for a new target of 4% of GDP – which is more than even the United States spends.
While the US military budget equals roughly 72% of combined defense spending by all NATO member states, roughly three-quarters of US military spending is directed toward regions other than Europe. Around half of the US defense budget is spent on maintaining a presence in the Pacific, and another quarter is spent on operations in the Middle East, strategic nuclear command and control, and other areas.
