What to Expect at the NATO Summit as the Alliance Faces New Tests The 36th NATO Summit is set to take place at a time when the alliance is facing its greatest challenges since the end of the Cold War.
The gathering of leaders from 32 member states will be dominated by Donald Trump's persistent threats to withdraw from NATO and reduce US troop levels abroad, raising questions about the alliance's future and exposing deep divisions within it.
Defense investment is one of the key topics on the agenda, with NATO having set a target for member states to spend 5% of their annual GDP on core defense requirements by 2035.
