June 24 (UPI) -- U.S. President Donald Trump was due to arrive in The Hague on Tuesday for his first summit-level meeting with NATO allies since returning to the White House in January, and in the aftermath of unprecedented U.S. airstrikes on Iran.
A cease-fire between Iran and Israel that he called for appeared to have faltered only hours after it came into force early Tuesday, with Jerusalem announcing fresh strikes against targets in Tehran in response to a barrage of Iranian missiles it claimed were fired after the start of the truce.
Trump reacted with displeasure to the reported breaches, telling ABC News before departing the White House early Tuesday he was "not happy" with either party, accusing both Iran and Israel of violating the cease-fire.
"Israel, as soon as we made the deal, they came out and dropped a boatload of bombs the likes of which I've never seen before. The biggest load that we've seen, I'm not happy with Israel," Trump said.
"OK, when I say now you have 12 hours, you don't go out in the first hour and just drop everything you have on them. So, I'm not happy with him. I'm not happy with Iran either," he added, explaining that Israel's response was an overreaction to missiles possibly fired by mistake by Iran that "didn't land."
