Trump to stay with Dutch royals, drops f-bomb before boarding flight to the Netherlands

Not your average summit...

Trump hadn’t even taken off for The Netherlands before the real turbulence started, not in the air, but in global politics.

Between fiery statements, mid-flight phone calls, and a royal sleepover, Trump’s NATO visit is shaping up to be anything but smooth.

Trump slams Israel and Iran before boarding

Just before boarding his flight to the NATO summit, Trump accused both Iran and Israel of violating the ceasefire.

As reported by NOS, before boarding he announced that, “I am not happy with Iran and certainly not with Israel,” warning Israel to “get your pilots back” and declaring that both sides “have no idea what the f*ck they are doing.”

A high-altitude call with Netanyahu

While en route to The Hague, Trump phoned Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, urging him to halt further strikes on Iran.

Trump posted on Truth Social that “all planes will turn back,” suggesting the ceasefire was back in place.

But according to Axios, an American news outlet, Netanyahu reportedly refused to stop the attacks, claiming Iran broke the deal first.

From hotel plans to palace lockdown

As the ceasefire drama unfolded in the skies, Trump’s overnight plans quietly shifted on the ground.

As confirmed by AD, Trump ditched his Noordwijk hotel plans after King Willem-Alexander invited him to stay at Huis ten Bosch Palace.

On Wednesday, he will have a royal breakfast with the King and Queen, cameras and croissants included.

Thankfully, The Hague didn’t need to update its emergency ordinance: a lockdown was already in place. The Haagse Bos is closed to the public from 4 PM to 11 AM, and nearby roads have been blocked since Sunday — some until Friday.

So while Trump dines and dozes in royal comfort, The Hague navigates NATO traffic, closed woods, and one very high-maintenance guest.

While mastering the art of coffee as a barista, she also conquered an MA in English Literature & Culture. She dreams of opening a literary café where books and coffee fuel deep conversations. Until then, she writes. And drinks a lot of coffee.
