NATO summit in the shadow of the Iran war, Trump asks why he wants an alliance, Europe talks about "partnership"

The upcoming NATO summit in Ankara will test whether increased European defense spending can maintain American security guarantees, especially amid tensions over the war in Iran and Donald Trump's dissatisfaction. European NATO members hoped the summit would focus on their increased defense budgets since the previous summit in Halifax, but Trump remains frustrated with some allies' stance on the Iran conflict. The European Union aims to transition from a dependent relationship with the U.S. to a partnership model, emphasizing greater European autonomy in defense. However, questions remain about whether these financial commitments translate into real military capabilities and whether NATO can maintain unity despite internal disputes.
