In his sole full day at the NATO summit, Trump faces an alliance further shaped to his liking
President Donald Trump heads into his sole full day at the NATO summit facing an alliance he has worked to bend to his will, even as he continues to rattle its members. Even before landing in the Netherlands on Tuesday, Trump cast doubt on whether the U.S. would abide by Article 5 of the NATO treaty, which calls on all members to defend one another in case of an attack. That came even as the 32-member alliance was poised to enact one of Trump’s chief priorities for NATO: increasing how much its member countries spend to shore up their defenses.
