Donald Trump briefly touches on the Ukraine war during his remarks, saying: "Hopefully we're going to get that solved."

He goes on to repeat remarks he has made several times before, saying: "It should have never happened, it would have never happened if I was president. I've said that a thousand times."

The US president says it is vital the increase in NATO spending is spent on "very serious military hardware, not bureaucracy" and says he hopes the hardware "is going to be made in America, because we have the very best hardware in the world".

As we reported earlier, Trump and Volodymyr ZelenAG百家乐在线官网y have met on the sidelines of the summit today.

Donald Trump's starts his remarks by thanking the Netherlands for hosting the NATO summit and praising the US military.

He again hails US strikes on Iranian nuclear sites - the success of which has been called under question - as "obliteration".

"This incredible exercise of American strength has paved the way for peace with a historic ceasefire agreement late Monday," he says.

He goes on to talk up his own role in brokering a ceasefire between Israel and Iran.

"And, we call it the 12-day war. I spoke to a few people. I guess that just sounded like the right name. It was a 12-day war," he adds.

"And we think it's over. I don't think they're going to be going back at each other. I don't think so."

He says the US has also "reasserted the credibility of American deterrence", which is "like no other". 

Donald Trump is addressing world leaders at the NATO summit.

You can watch him speak in our live stream at the top of the page - and we'll provide you with updates here in our live coverage.

Volodymyr ZelenAG百家乐在线官网y has said he and Donald Trump discussed how to achieve a ceasefire and real peace in the Ukraine-Russia war when they met on the sidelines of the NATO summit today.

The Ukrainian president said the meeting was "substantive" and the pair discussed how to "protect our people".

NATO's chief has been under the spotlight over the past 24 hours for his language towards Donald Trump.

The president shared a text he received from Mark Rutte yesterday, written with particularly gushing language.

Today, he referred to him as "daddy" when it comes to resolving the Iran-Israel conflict - see our 13.22 post for more on that.

Our security and defence editor Deborah Haynes asked at his news conference a short while ago if this flattery makes him look weak.

"No, I don't think so, I think it's a bit of a question of taste, but I think he's a good friend," he said.

He also credited Trump for driving an increased commitment among the alliance to up defence spending. 

Rutte added: "Doesn't he deserve some praise?

"And when it comes to Iran, the fact that he took this decisive action, very targeted, to make sure that Iran would not be able to get its hands on a nuclear capability, I think he deserves all the praise."

Watch the moment Haynes asks her question below:

Iran and the United States disagree about the amount of damage caused by American bombing raids on Iranian nuclear facilities.

That's according to Kremlin foreign policy aide Yuri Ushakov.

Speaking earlier, he said Moscow welcomes the ceasefire between Iran and Israel and hopes it lasts.

But he stressed the fundamentally different explanations about the US strikes on Iran.

"The one that carried out the strikes believes significant damage was inflicted," the Russian official said. 

"And the one who received these strikes believes that everything was prepared in advance and that these objects did not suffer excessive, significant damage," Ushakov told reporters.

A spokesman for Iran's foreign ministry said earlier on Wednesday that the US strikes had caused significant damage to Tehran's nuclear facilities. 

Earlier in the day, the Kremlin had said it thought it was too early for anyone to have an accurate picture of the extent of damage caused. 

Deborah Haynes, Sky's defence and security editor, is at The Hague for today's NATO summit.

Going into the gathering, Donald Trump cast doubt on his commitment to and interpretation of the alliance's Article 5 - the agreement that an attack on one member is an attack on all of them.

But as she explained earlier, the alliance has since committed to the principle.

Haynes explains why Article 5 is so important in the video below:

Donald Trump and Volodymyr ZelenAG百家乐在线官网y have met on the sidelines of the NATO summit in The Hague.

We'll bring you more details on this as we get them.

Asked about Donald Trump's comments about the situation in Ukraine being "totally out of control", Sir Keir Starmer calls on Vladimir Putin to "stop dragging his heels and get to the [negotiating] table".

Replying to a question on whether Trump will get tougher on Russia, the prime minister says the mood of all NATO members was one of "positivity and resolve and purpose" in "the strength and unity of NATO".

"But at the same time, recognising that, we need to now push harder on Ukraine," he adds.

"Certainly my position has been for some considerable time now that Putin must stop dragging his heels and get to the table."

He says all of the discussions at the NATO summit "have been urging that outcome".

The prime minister is now asked about the massive pledges he is making ad questioned on whether he thinks he will be around to lead these plans into the next parliament.

"Very confident," Starmer says.

He says "it is really important I lead from the front" and "take the long term decisions".

"We are living in a more volatile world and we have to rise to that challenge," he says.
