NATO’s most important global summit has begun in Turkiye. It’s an event where the world’s leaders meet, mingle, and above all, try to keep President Donald Trump from doing something inconceivably stupid… like threatening to pull troops from Europe if the US does not gain control of Greenland. But NATO has even bigger problems: Russia’s war in Ukraine and the threat Russia poses to the entire coalition. So to talk more about NATO, Trump, and how the summit is trying to keep the president of the United States from throwing an epic temper tantrum, we spoke with Felicia Schwartz, diplomatic correspondent for Politico. And in headlines: Democrats are calling for Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner to drop out of the race in light of a sexual assault allegation against him, a new lawsuit alleges that the Trump administration has been illegally sharing confidential information about Iranian asylum seekers with the Iranian government, and French President Emmanuel Macron met with Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa in Damascus restoring official diplomatic ties.

  • Trump has only been on the ground for a few hours,

  • and despite the best hopes of officials heading into this summit, the drama has already begun.

  • I'm Jane Koston, and this is What A Day, the show that is congratulating Kelsey Fenler,

  • who was the first American woman to row the 2,300 miles from California to Hawaii.

  • She completed the four to three day journey by herself, during

  • which time she didn't have to hear anything about President Donald Trump or red cards or the Senate.

  • She just got to hang out with sharks and seals.

  • Sounds amazing, honestly.

  • On today's show, Trump is already stirring things up at the NATO summit in Turkey.

  • We discussed the conference with Politico's Felicia Schwartz, who is on location in Ankara.

  • Before we get into all that, here's what we're following today, Tuesday, July 7th.

  • I believe that it's time for him to drop out of the race.

  • That was New York City Mayor Zoram Omdani joining a chorus

  • of Democrats calling for Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham Plattner to drop out.

  • The calls came after a Politico report Monday detailed a sexual assault allegation against him.

  • Plattner has denied the allegation.

  • In the less than 24 hours since Politico's report published, Plattner lost the support

  • of California Representative Ro Khanna, Arizona Senator Ruben Gallego, and Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren.

  • But perhaps the biggest blow to Plattner's populist-based campaign was from Vermont Independent Senator Bernie Sanders.

  • He wrote in a statement, quote, In light of these very serious allegations, I have recommended that he step aside.
