Thirty-eight world leaders have gathered in Washington for the NATO summit, marking the alliance’s 75th anniversary. The summit aims to showcase the unity of Western allies against potential threats, but the spotlight is on President Biden amidst uncertainties.

Discussions are underway on how NATO would fare under a second Trump term and its impact on crucial matters like supporting Ukraine against Russia.
