Trump greeted by Dutch royalty as he arrives in Netherlands to take victory lap over Iran-Israel ceasefire at NATO
Donald Trump was all smiles as he arrived in the Netherlands on Tuesday and rubbed shoulders with European royalty after facilitating a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Iran. The U.S. president appeared to have a chummy interaction as he shook hands with King Willem-Alexander and Queen Máxima of the Netherlands upon arriving in Hague for the country's first-ever time hosting the NATO summit. Trump joined other world leaders who are part of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization for a family photo and welcome dinner ahead of a stacked day of meetings on Wednesday. But first lady Melania Trump did not join her husband for the trip overseas. His arrival comes amid a victory lap saying the U.S. president should be credited for facilitating a ceasefire between Israel and Iran after more than 10 days of back-and-forth bombings. Trump ordered a three-target strike on Iranian nuclear facilities on Saturday to back Israel in its efforts to stunt Tehran's development of nuclear weapons. He said on Monday that Israel and Iran approached him 'almost simultaneously' seeking an end to the missile fire. Trump then coordinated with Vice President J.D. Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and special envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff to work with Qatari mediators on a ceasefire. Meanwhile, Trump was already scheduled to attend the NATO summit amid the conflict. The red carpet was literally rolled out for Trump and other world leaders arriving in the Netherlands on Tuesday. NATO leaders were seen toasting each other and clinking drinks at a dinner ahead of an intense day of meetings on Wednesday. Despite a barrage of impacts in Iran with the goal of stopping uranium enrichment and stunning nuclear weapon development, it appears that the uranium has gone missing. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Director, General Rafael Mariano Grossi, said Tuesday that the group does not know where the 900 pounds of potentially enriched uranium is located. Iranian officials said it was being removed for protective measures ahead of strikes on its nuclear facilities. 'I have to be very precise, Martha,' Grossi said when speaking with Fox News host Martha McCallum on Tuesday. 'We are the IAEA, so we are not speculating here. We do not have information of the whereabouts of this material,' he added when asked about the location of Iran's potentially enriched uranium. The White House is now facing pressure to comment on these claims. It's not clear when those answers will come, however, as Trump remains in the Netherlands for the NATO summit. On Wednesday morning, the president will meet with King Willem-Alexander and Queen Máxima for a photograph and breakfast.

From the archive: Anybody want to buy a ‘Titian'?
From The Times: June 24, 1925 We understand that Sir Joseph Duveen, after negotiations extending over 18 months, has purchased Titian's portrait of Tomaso Contarini (1547-1604) from the Giovanelli Palace in Venice, and that the portrait is now on its way to England. The portrait was on the list of pictures which could not be exported without the express permission of the Italian Government. Signor Mussolini's Cabinet is apparently more tractable in these matters than some of its predecessors, and it is realized that the sale of old masters has its material compensation in bringing large sums of money into the country. The purchase price of this Titian portrait is put at £45,000, from which a duty to the Government has to be paid. In addition to this, the vendor handed over to the Italian Government three pictures for public museums — one by Bellini, one by Cima da Conegliano, and one by Catena. The portrait of Tomaso Contarini, dressed in armour, his right hand holding a baton, his left resting on a casque, has apparently been in the Giovanelli Palace for countless years. Possibly the two families were related. The picture is fully described in Lafenestre and Richtenberger's 'Venise', in the series of volumes dealing with the pictures in various Continental galleries, published in Paris about 1890. It is also catalogued in Mr Berenson's book on Venetian painters. Tomaso Contarini belonged to one of the greatest and most ancient of Venetian families, some eight of whom held the office of Doge from 1043 to 1684, while others have distinguished themselves as soldiers and statesmen, and one was a cardinal. Tomaso was among the few patricians who travelled, and who, as Molmenti puts it, shook off 'the prevalent sloth'. In 1597 he pronounced a funeral 'oration' on Francesco and congratulated the latter's brother, Ferdinando, Grand Duke of Tuscany, on his election to the ducal seat. In 1588 he was in Spain with Philip II, and later took a prominent part in suppressing the pirates who infested the Republic of Venice. Abandoning a secular career, he entered the Church, and held high offices. He drew up an account of Germany which appeared two years after his death.

The protest group the UK government wants to brand terrorists
Palestine Action is a direct action protest group that has been targeting weapons manufacturers. This week, Yvette Cooper announced the decision to lay an order to ban them under anti-terrorism laws. This will now be debated and voted on in parliament. The Guardian's legal affairs correspondent, Haroon Siddique, explains who the group are and why the government's decision is such a surprise. 'They're the first direct protest action group to be classified in such a way,' he says. The news comes after the organisation targeted an RAF base, spray painting military aircraft, he explains to Nosheen Iqbal. 'While the action at the RAF base was very embarrassing for the government, it's far from the first time that a group has used these kinds of tactics or caused such damage.' One activist from the organisation, film-maker Saeed Teji Farooqi, explains why he became involved and why he disagrees with the government's decision. He says using terrorism legislation meant to target groups such as Islamic State on a protest group is 'ludicrous'. While at a demonstration in support of Palestine Action on Monday, protesters told Guardian reporter Geneva Abdul of their shock at the move. Yet, says Siddique, if the vote on the organisation is passed, it could also have a chilling effect on other groups. Greenpeace released a statement in which it said it was a dark day for protest in the UK.
