Watch: White House drops 'Daddy's home' music video featuring Trump at Nato Summit; here's the context
Pete Hegseth, center, and Marco Rubio, right, laugh as a reporter asked if Nato secretary general Mark Rutte called US President Donald Trump "daddy" during a news conference at the 2025 Nato Summit in The Hague, Netherlands. (NYT News Service) The White House on Thursday joined the buzz around US President Donald Trump 's latest "Daddy" nickname as the White House shared a one-minute video showing Trump's arrival and interactions with Nato secretary general Mark Rutte and other leaders at the summit, set to the track Daddy's Home by Usher. The video appears to playfully embrace the nickname, which emerged from an exchange between Trump and Rutte. US President Donald Trump, already the most powerful man in the world, received a new nickname on Wednesday from Nato secretary general Mark Rutte -- "Daddy." The moment came as the two leaders were chatting ahead of the Nato summit. Trump brought up his usual comparison of Iran and Israel to fighting schoolchildren. "They've had a big fight, like two kids in a schoolyard," Trump said. "You know, they fight like hell. You can't stop them. Let them fight for about two, three minutes, then it's easier to stop." To that, Rutte responded: "And then Daddy has to sometimes use strong language." Rutte was referring to Trump's angry reaction earlier in the day at the White House, where the president was visibly upset about the possibility of the Iran-Israel ceasefire falling apart. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Buy Brass Idols - Handmade Brass Statues for Home & Gifting Luxeartisanship Buy Now Undo "The two countries have been fighting so long and so hard that they don't know what the fuck they're doing, do you understand that?" Trump told reporters. Trump laughed at Rutte's "Daddy" remark and acknowledged the use of his unexpected expletive. "Everyone said 'Well, you have to use a certain word'," he said. When asked later about the nickname, Trump said he didn't mind it. "He did it very affectionately," Trump said. "Daddy, you're my daddy." The exchange also drew laughter from US secretary of state Marco Rubio, who was present when Trump responded to Rutte's comment. Trump, known for fiery remarks but not frequent public swearing, surprised many with the language he used. Rutte, meanwhile, made extra efforts to keep Trump engaged during what could have been a tense Nato summit. From shortening the schedule to hosting Trump at the king's royal palace, Rutte has earned another title of his own, the "Trump Whisperer."

Trump backs Netanyahu, says Israeli PM must not be tried during war
US President Donald Trump on Wednesday (local time) called for the 'immediate' cancellation of the ongoing corruption trial against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Sharing a post on Truth Social, Trump expressed shock over Israel continuing with what he called a witch hunt against Netanyahu. He wrote, 'I was shocked to hear that the State of Israel, which has just had one of its Greatest Moments in History, and is strongly led by Bibi Netanyahu, is continuing its ridiculous Witch Hunt against their Great wartime prime Minister! Bibi and I just went through HELL together, fighting a very tough and brilliant longtime enemy of Israel, Iran, and Bibi could not have been better, sharper, or stronger in his LOVE for the incredible Holy Land.' Trump praises 'Operation Rising Lion' and Netanyahu's leadership Trump praised Netanyahu and his government as Israel launched 'Operation Rising Lion' on June 13, targeting Iranian nuclear sites to prevent further progress in Tehran's weapons programme. He credited Netanyahu's leadership for what he described as the 'complete elimination' of Iran's near-term nuclear weapons capability. Trump calls Netanyahu trial politically motivated Continuing his praise for Netanyahu, Trump stated that if anyone else had led the war, the outcome would have been 'losses and embarrassment,' while Netanyahu fought 'literally' for Israel's survival. Calling the case against Netanyahu 'politically motivated,' Trump said the trial, ongoing since May 2020, marked the first time a sitting Israeli prime minister had faced trial. 'Just like the US saved Israel, it will now save Netanyahu from this horror show,' he wrote. Details of the Netanyahu trial and ICC charges Netanyahu is set to appear in court on June 30 for his ongoing corruption trial, which includes multiple charges such as bribery and fraud. He is currently facing three cases—known as Case 1,000, 2,000, and 4,000—all involving allegations of bribery, fraud, and breach of trust, according to Anadolu Agency. Netanyahu has denied all charges, dismissing them as 'fake.' Separately, the International Criminal Court (ICC) has issued arrest warrants against him, accusing him of war crimes and crimes against humanity. These charges relate to civilian targeting and the alleged use of starvation tactics during Israel's military campaign in Gaza.

Where is Khamenei? Supreme Leader absent while Iran faces deadliest escalation
As Iran grapples with a series of unprecedented military escalations, a new mystery has gripped the country: Where is Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei?The 86-year-old leader, who wields ultimate authority in Iran, has not been seen or heard from publicly for nearly a week — a silence that has fuelled intense speculation, concern, and unease across the absence comes at a time of intense crisis as Israeli and US forces have jointly bombed three of Iran's prime nuclear sites, Tehran has retaliated with missile strikes on an American base in Qatar, and a shaky ceasefire brokered by Donald Trump is now in The Iranian media has offered no images or statements from Khamenei since the hostilities began. Officials close to him claim he has been moved to a secret underground bunker and is refraining from electronic communication to avoid potential assassination attempts — a threat Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has reportedly not ruled out, despite Trump's supposed advisory not to kill the Supreme Leader, according to the New York Times. Reports suggest that even top Iranian government figures are believed to be cut off from direct contact with him. On Tuesday, the host of a prime-time Iranian state television show asked Mehdi Fazaeli, a senior official from Khamenei's office, about the Supreme Leader's whereabouts. "People are very worried about the Supreme Leader. Can you tell us how he is?" the anchor asked. But Fazaeli sidestepped the question, saying "We should all be praying. Those tasked with protecting the Supreme Leader were doing their job".advertisementIn Tehran, women were seen carrying portraits of Khamenei during an anti-US and anti-Israel protest over the weekend, a rare sight in the absence of any guidance or message from their highest authority. The Iranian newspapers are beginning to voice concern as well. "His days-long absence has made all of us who love him very worried," Mohsen Khalifeh, editor of Khaneman, a daily newspaper. He added that if Khamenei were dead, "his funeral would be the most glorious and historic".Notably, a three-man committee from a top clerical body in Iran, appointed by Khamenei himself two years ago to identify his replacement, has accelerated its planning, according to news agency Reuters. Khamenei has gone into hiding with his family and is being guarded by the Vali-ye Amr special forces unit of the Revolutionary Guards, a top security official told sudden air assault on June 13 decimated the top echelon of Iran's military leadership and claimed the lives of several top nuclear scientists, marking one of the most significant escalations in the Middle East's history. Iran also retaliated with a barrage of missiles that, for the first time, managed to break through Israel's layered air defence systems in significant officials claimed the attacks left 627 people dead and nearly 5,000 injured on their soil. Independent verification of the damage, however, remains difficult due to strict curbs on media access. In Israel, authorities confirmed 28 fatalities.- EndsTune InMust Watch
