European leaders relieved after Trump leaves NATO summit

European leaders felt a sense of relief this month when US President Donald Trump left the NATO summit held in Ankara, Turkey. Although the summit proceeded without serious disruptions, it was marked by several awkward moments. Trump repeatedly expressed a desire to annex Greenland and absurdly called for a cessation of all trade with Spain. These remarks created tension, but the summit ultimately concluded without major incidents. European leaders, who had been worried about potential conflicts, were able to relax once Trump departed, leaving behind discussions about his controversial statements.
