U.S. President Donald Trump has a sleepover this week in the Netherlands that is, quite literally, fit for a king.

Trump is visiting The Hague for a summit of the 32 leaders of NATO on Wednesday, and his sleeping arrangements have received a significant upgrade.

He is scheduled to arrive Tuesday night and be whisked by motorcade along closed-off highways to the Huis Ten Bosch palace, nestled in a forest on the edge of The Hague, for a dinner with other alliance leaders hosted by Dutch King Willem-Alexander.

Trump had been expected to stay at a swanky hotel in the town of Noordwijk on the Dutch North Sea coast, but not anymore.

A spokesperson for the Dutch government information service, Anna Sophia Posthumus, told The Associated Pressthat the president will be sleeping at the palace that is home to Willem-Alexander, his Argentine-born wife, Queen Maxima, and their three daughters, though the princesses have mostly flown the royal nest to pursue studies.

Parts of Huis Ten Bosch palace date back to the 17th century. It has a Wassenaar Wing, where the royal family live, and a Hague Wing that is used by guests. The centerpiece of the palace is the ornate Orange Hall, named for the Dutch Royal House of Orange.

The palace is also close to the new U.S. Embassy in the Netherlands.

Trump is no stranger to royal visits. In 2019, he dropped in to Windsor Castle for tea with Queen Elizabeth II during a tumultuous visit to the United Kingdom.

House of Orange: Trump swops beach hotel for royal palace at Nato summit

UPDATED JUN 24, 2025, 10:56 PM

THE HAGUE - Change of booking: US President Donald Trump has swopped his Nato summit sleeping arrangements from a beachside hotel to the Dutch king’s 17th-century private palace.

King Willem-Alexander extended a royal invitation to his guest to stay in the “Hague Wing” of his Huis ten Bosch, nestled in the woods of the Dutch seaside city.

It means Mr Trump will not have far to travel after the dinner King Willem-Alexander is offering to the Nato leaders on June 24 – his original lodgings were in Noordwijk, some 30km away.

“The king did indeed offer accommodation to the President of the United States and he accepted that offer,” the Dutch Royal House told AFP.

“It is customary for visiting heads of state to be offered accommodation… It is up to the guest whether or not to take advantage of the offer,” said the palace.

Previous occupants have included Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II and former US president Bill Clinton.

Before the hectic diplomacy of the Nato summit, Mr Trump will also enjoy breakfast on June 25 with the king at the palace, according to his schedule.

Mr Trump is known for his love of pomp and circumstance and royalty in particular, frequently expressing his admiration for Queen Elizabeth II.

The Huis ten Bosch, built in 1645, contains ornate rooms with vaulted white ceilings and chandeliers, according to pictures on the official website.

Among the rooms are the “Blue Salon”, “Chinese Hall”, “Japanese Hall” and “White Dining Hall”, with a tennis court in the grounds.

The gala dinner will be held in the majestic baroque Orange Hall.

The palace is located in the Hague Forest, at the end of a long tree-lined path.

An AFP correspondent was able to cycle past the palace early on June 24, joining hundreds of Dutch commuters on their way to work.

Spare a thought, though, for the residents of Noordwijk, a windy beach resort on the North Sea, that has been locked down for days in expectation of Mr Trump’s visit.

The gondolas of its Ferris Wheel have been removed for security reasons and roads in and out of the town blocked.

But the American flags fluttering along the beach promenade should not be completely unappreciated as several members of the huge US delegation will be staying there. AFP

Israeli intel assesses that Iran’s nuclear program set back ‘several years,’ but not destroyed — official

Israeli intelligence assesses that US and Israeli strikes set back Iran’s nuclear program by “several years,” but did not completely destroy it, as US President Donald Trump has repeatedly claimed, a senior Israeli official tells The Times of Israel.

The Israeli intelligence assessment is constantly being updated and refined, and a more concrete understanding of the status of Iran’s nuclear program will be available in the coming weeks, the senior Israeli official says.

The Israeli official argues that the military strikes were still worthwhile because the negotiations that the US had previously been pursuing with Iran would not have been able to achieve such results.

Moreover, the strikes on the nuclear program along with other military targets in Iran will serve as a deterrent against the Islamic Republic again trying to enrich uranium.

IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir also said this evening, “We have set Iran’s nuclear project back by years, and the same goes for its missile program.”

Trump nominated for Nobel Peace Prize

The US president has brokered a “historic” ceasefire between Israel and Iran, Congressman Buddy Carter said

A US congressman has nominated President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, citing his role in brokering a ceasefire between Israel and Iran after nearly two weeks of hostilities.

Trump announced the truce just days after the US conducted unprecedented airstrikes on Iran’s Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan nuclear facilities. According to the US president, the sites have been “completely and totally obliterated.” Tehran has denied that its facilities were destroyed, while flatly ruling out giving up its civilian nuclear program.

Israel and Iran exchanged missile strikes shortly after Trump announced the tentative armistice on Tuesday afternoon. TheUS president resorted to obscenitieswhile tearing into both sides for violating the ceasefire, saying “they do not know what the f**k they are doing.”Israel has since backed down from further attacks, according to media reports.

In a letter to the Norwegian Nobel Committee, Republican congressman Earl “Buddy” Carter nominated the US president for his “extraordinary and historic” role in brokering the ceasefire between West Jerusalem and Tehran.

“President Trump’s influence was instrumental in forging a swift agreement that many believed to be impossible,” the congressman wrote in the letter, according to a copy posted by Trump on Truth Social on Tuesday.

Trump also took bold, decisive actions to halt Iran’s nuclear ambitions,” Carter claimed. The US president’s leadership currently “exemplifies”the ideals of the Nobel Peace Prize, he concluded.

Pakistan also formally nominated Trump for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize last week, citing his contribution to brokering an end to the Asian country's conflict with India, which flared up after a deadly terrorist attack in Indian-administered Kashmir in April. New Delhi has denied that it accepted any outside mediation.
