Introduction
This week, Trump tremendous wins made headlines across the globe. From orchestrating a dramatic strike on Iran’s nuclear sites to receiving unusual praise at NATO, the former U.S. president seems to be repositioning himself on the world stage. Add in a landmark Supreme Court ruling and a surprise African peace deal, and Trump is touting this as one of the biggest weeks of his post-presidency journey.
1. Iran Strike and Middle East Ceasefire
On June 21, the United States carried out a calculated military strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities. Just three days later, Trump announced a “complete and total ceasefire” between Israel and Iran after 12 days of rising conflict. Though fragile, the ceasefire held initially, enabling Trump to declare the U.S. as the peacemaker.
According to Reuters, intelligence reports suggest the strike temporarily disrupted but did not destroy Iran’s capabilities. Nonetheless, Trump’s supporters hailed it as decisive leadership. For full context, visit our US–Iran Ceasefire Breakdown.
2. NATO Summit: “Daddy” Trump
At the NATO summit in the Netherlands, Trump received unexpected admiration from Secretary General Mark Rutte, who jokingly referred to him as “Daddy”—in reference to Trump brokering the ceasefire between Iran and Israel. The White House embraced the nickname, even posting social media clips with captions like “Daddy’s Home.”
What’s more, NATO allies committed to increasing defense spending to 5% of GDP, a long-time Trump demand. Read the NATO 2025 Summit Recap for deeper analysis.
3. Supreme Court Ruling: Executive Power Boost
Another major win for Trump came in the form of a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that limits the ability of lower courts to issue nationwide injunctions against presidential orders. This strengthens the executive branch and paves the way for key Trump policies—such as restricting sanctuary cities and ending birthright citizenship Trump tremendous wins.
In his own words, it was a “monumental victory for the Constitution and rule of law.” See how this ruling impacts immigration and federal authority in our Supreme Court Ruling Breakdown.
4. Africa Peace Deal
Rounding off his week, Trump helped broker a peace deal between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo. While past agreements in the region have failed, this one is being hailed as a generational opportunity. Trump also claimed it would provide the U.S. with access to strategic minerals in the region.
Despite admitting he had limited knowledge of the history, Trump called the peace agreement “a giant win for global diplomacy.” Read our report on the Africa Peace Deal to learn more Trump tremendous wins.
Remaining Challenges
- Tax Bill Delay: Trump’s major domestic legislation, dubbed the “One, Big, Beautiful Bill,” hit a roadblock in the Senate.
- Gaza & Ukraine: Trump has yet to find breakthroughs in these two high-profile conflicts, despite progress elsewhere.
- Iran Uncertainty: Trump did not rule out future strikes if Iran resumes nuclear activity.
Conclusion
This week solidified what Trump calls “tremendous wins” at home and abroad—from military strikes to diplomatic victories and judicial empowerment. However, challenges like unresolved wars and stalled legislation remain in the background. Still, Trump’s supporters see this week as proof that his global influence is far from fading.
